Join Gavin Kendrick and Diane Ghogomu for Unravelling the Mysteries of the Cacao Ceremony, organised by the Association of Master Herbalists - an evening exploring the deep relationship between humans and cacao, from ancient temples to modern ceremonial practice.
Drawing on the research and lived experience behind 'Cacao Ceremony', this talk traces cacao’s journey from sacred plant medicine to global commodity, and its enduring role in shaping human consciousness.
Across this rich and engaging session, they will explore:
- Cacao’s history across Mesoamerican civilisations and its role in divination, healing, and cosmology
- The pharmacological and neurological effects of cacao
- The importance of ceremony and the sacred container in which cacao is shared
- Practical ways to work with cacao, including recipes to try at home
- Blending science, tradition, and lived ceremonial practice, this is a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of cacao as both medicine and ritual
