Ceremonies

What is a ceremony?

A ceremony is a ritual gathering performed with a specific intention, often aimed at connecting with yourself, nature, the universe, or a higher state of consciousness.

For centuries, different cultures have used ceremonies as a way to promote healing, insight, and spiritual growth. Through music, meditation, plants, fire, and other elements, we create a sacred space where transformation and profound experiences become possible.

My Journey: The First Ceremony and the Path That Followed

My personal journey with ceremonies began in 2013 when I participated in my first Ayahuasca ceremony. This experience opened my eyes to the profound wisdom and healing hidden within ceremonial rituals. It was the start of a journey that led me deeper into working with various spiritual traditions and sacred plants.

After attending several ceremonies as a participant, I was invited to help facilitate them—this was a major turning point in my career. My ability to perceive and observe has since grown significantly, spanning multiple layers of reality.

Driven by a deep passion for consciousness growth and inner transformation, I continued to immerse myself in ceremonial settings and spaces for exploration. Today, I facilitate these kinds of spaces and ceremonies, carefully selecting plants and elements to support others in their own spiritual and personal development.

Types of Ceremonies I Offer

In 2015, I launched my first website dedicated to ceremonies: CacaoCeremonies.nl. Over time, I have noticed that some projects progress quickly while others move more slowly.

For me, the key has been learning to flow with this natural rhythm and enjoy the development process—something that was a learning curve after my career in real estate, where everything had to be completed “yesterday.”

Cacao has been used for centuries by indigenous peoples of Central and South America for spiritual and healing purposes. In a cacao ceremony, we work with pure, ceremonial-grade cacao to open the heart, strengthen our connection with ourselves and others, and release inner blockages. The gentle yet powerful energy of cacao helps create clarity, love, and inspiration.

The Blue Lotus (Nymphaea Caerulea) was considered a sacred plant in ancient Egypt, known for its calming and consciousness-expanding properties. During a Blue Lotus ceremony, we use this special flower to promote deep relaxation and spiritual insights. The ceremony can contribute to inner peace, lucid dreaming, and heightened awareness.

Fire is a powerful symbol of transformation and purification. In a fire ceremony, we work with the energy of fire to release what no longer serves us and create space for new intentions. This can be a deeply healing experience, allowing us to connect with the strength of the fire element and the wisdom it carries.

Each ceremony is carefully crafted with intention, ensuring a safe and supportive space for your inner journey. Whether you are seeking healing, deeper understanding, or spiritual growth, you are warmly invited to embark on this special experience together.
