Cacao ceremonies are intentional gatherings centred around drinking cacao together.

Rather than simply enjoying cacao as a drink, we use the experience as an opportunity to become still, set an intention and create space for reflection and connection.

We begin by gathering together and allowing ourselves time to arrive. Our cacao is then shared mindfully before we move into the practices chosen for that particular ceremony.

Depending on the session, this may include guided meditation, breathwork, sound, journaling, Reiki, gentle movement or quiet reflection.

There is no expectation that you need to experience anything in particular.

For us, ceremony is about creating space — space to slow down, listen inwardly and reconnect with what matters to you.

Life rarely gives us permission to stop.

We move from one responsibility to another, often without taking the time to notice how we actually feel.

A cacao ceremony offers something different.

It is a few hours where there is nowhere else you need to be and nothing you need to achieve.

Within the ceremony, you are invited to become present with yourself, connect with the people sharing the space with you and explore whatever naturally arises through meditation, reflection and gentle holistic practice.

You may leave feeling relaxed and grounded. You may gain clarity around something that has been occupying your mind. You may simply enjoy having had the opportunity to slow down.

Every experience is personal.

Each Tamworth Reiki cacao ceremony is slightly different, allowing us to work intuitively with the intention and energy of the gathering.

Your experience may include:

• A warm welcome and opening circle
• Setting a personal intention
• Mindfully sharing ceremonial cacao
• Guided meditation and breathwork
• Sound healing, Reiki or other energy practices
• Journaling and personal reflection
• Optional sharing and connection
• Quiet time to simply rest and receive
• A gentle closing circle and time for integration

Everything is offered as an invitation. You are always encouraged to listen to yourself, respect your own boundaries and participate in the way that feels right for you.

At Tamworth Reiki, our approach to holistic wellness brings different practices together naturally rather than treating them as completely separate experiences.

Cacao can therefore become a beautiful starting point for a deeper journey incorporating meditation, Reiki, breathwork, sound healing and other mindful practices.

Some ceremonies may be quiet and deeply restorative.

Others may focus on intention, connection, gratitude or personal reflection.

We may also incorporate cacao into selected retreats, workshops, women’s circles and special events.

The intention remains the same: to hold a safe, welcoming and judgement-free space where you have permission to slow down and reconnect.

That approach reflects the wider philosophy of Tamworth Reiki, where your existing work emphasises presence, compassion, consent, integrity and respect for each person’s individual experience.

You don’t need to follow a particular spiritual path or have any experience with meditation, Reiki or ceremony.

Our cacao ceremonies are suitable for people who simply feel drawn to experiencing them.

Perhaps you would like some dedicated time for yourself. Perhaps you want to explore meditation or holistic practices in a supportive environment. Or perhaps you are simply curious about cacao and would like to experience ceremony for the first time.

You are welcome exactly as you are.

If you have dietary requirements, take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a health condition that could affect whether cacao is suitable for you, please contact us before booking. Our holistic practices are complementary and are not a substitute for appropriate medical or psychological care.

Our ceremonies are held at The Sanctuary & The Retreat, 6 Turnberry, Tamworth, B77 4NR, conveniently located close to Junction 10 of the M42 and Tamworth railway station.

Our spaces have been created to feel warm, peaceful and welcoming, allowing you to leave the everyday world at the door and settle into your experience.

Come Home to Yourself

Sometimes we don’t need to do more.

We need somewhere we can slow down, become quiet and listen.

Cacao ceremony creates an opportunity to do exactly that — surrounded by warmth, intention and community.

Whether this is your first ceremony or cacao is already part of your personal practice, we would love to welcome you.
