Ceremonial Cacao & Sharing Circle at Flobucha

Join us for a Cacao Circle at Flobucha in Sarasota as Carrie shares the story and benefits of this beautiful MesoAmerican “medicine.” We’ll all enjoy a cup and open our hearts together.

Chocolate in its purest form is a powerful heart-opening medicine (literally and metaphorically), and it's also a wildly nutritious plant. Ceremonial-grade cacao has an incredible amount of antioxidants and is one of the most complex food founds in nature. With over 300 nutrients, including magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, copper, calcium, B vitamins, iron, omega-6, vitamin C, chromium, sulfur, and zinc, cacao truly nourishes your physical body as well as your emotional and spiritual bodies.

We will be back in the fall/early winter!

DATE: TBD Late 2026
TIME: 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
LOCATION: Flobucha | 2725 Mall Dr, Sarasota, FL 34231

Registration is now closed for the summer months. Hope to see you in Late 2026!

key Considerations

Cacao is best consumed on a light or empty stomach.

Avoid caffeine (and preferably any food) at least 3 hours before.

contraindications

Those with serious heart conditions, who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or currently taking MAOI / SSRI antidepressants are discouraged from taking ceremonial doses of cacao due to medical contraindications. Cacao naturally has small amounts of caffeine and may dilate blood vessels. You may still participate but may require a smaller, energetic dosage or other special precautions. Raw cacao contains histamine. Dogs and animals should not be given raw chocolate, as they lack the enzyme to metabolize theobromine (which can be fatal).

If any of these apply to you, please contact Carrie to discuss your situation prior to the ceremony.

see you soon

We look forward to sharing this beautiful medicine and opening our hearts with you!
