Dia De Muertos Journey: Cacao Ceremony for Grief & Remembrance

Cacao Ceremony for Grief and Remembrance: A Dia de Muertos Journey

In this heart-centered Cacao Ceremony, we gather to honor the spirits of our loved ones who have passed, acknowledge our grief, and celebrate life and death as part of the eternal cycle during the sacred days of Dia de Muertos. 

Drawing upon the wisdom and healing power of Ixcacao, the spirit of the cacao plant, we will create a sacred space for emotional processing, remembrance, and connection.

We will begin by partaking in warm ceremonial cacao, a traditional Mayan recipe used for its heart-opening and healing properties. 

As the cacao works its magic, we will journey through a guided meditation and powerful ritual to honor our ancestors and loved ones who have transitioned from this world.

In alignment with the traditions of Dia de Muertos, participants will be invited to:

• Contribute to a communal altar (ofrenda) with photos, mementos, and offerings to their loved ones, fostering a deeper sense of connection and empathy within the group.
• Receive a supportive energy healing session, addressing the emotional and energetic imprints of loss and cultivating balance within. Celebrate the lives of their loved ones and their own resilience through a closing gratitude ceremony, honoring the spirits who have joined us in this sacred space.
• By taking part in this Dia de Muertos Cacao Ceremony, participants will have the opportunity to navigate their grief journey with compassion, embrace the healing power of remembrance, and find solace in the collective strength of our community as we honor our ancestors and loved ones who have passed.

Cost: $55

About Daniela Miranda:

Hi, my name is Daniela, a proud Chilena with Indigenous Mapuche blood and a well-renowned photographer. In my travels around the world, I have blended my love for photography and my passion for helping women uncover their most authentic selves by capturing their essence through rituals and portraits.

I come from a long line of medicine women (machi's) who, for reasons of survival, have had to suppress their medicine. In this lifetime, I am on a mission to reclaim that medicine, empower generations to live freely, wildly, and wholeheartedly, and honor my ancestors' deep connection to Pachamama.

My ancestral roots and the medicine imprinted in my DNA have led me on a journey to learn and hold traditional Mayan Cacao Ceremonies from teachers and elders around the globe. I have had the privilege of holding ceremonies in retreats and one-on-one sessions, sharing the wisdom and healing power of cacao with individuals from all walks of life.
