A Journey with Cacao at the Pyramids of Chi

Today I joined a Cacao Ceremony at the Pyramids of Chi, a place that already feels like a sanctuary the moment you step inside. The ceremony began with a gentle meditation, inviting us to arrive fully in the moment. Soon after, we shared the warm cacao together – rich, nourishing, and heart-opening.

The band began to play, and the music carried us on a journey. Each song felt like a doorway, inviting me to release, to forgive, to soften. I could feel the walls around my heart slowly melting. There was space to share, to dance, or simply to be. Nothing was expected, everything was welcome.

Luciana, the Cacao Queen of Bali, guided us with her playful and loving presence. Her energy was light and free, yet she held the group in a way that felt safe and deeply connected. With the combination of her wisdom, the live music, and the sacred cacao, the experience unfolded like magic – simple, yet profound.

The Pyramids of Chi and the Surroundings

The Pyramids of Chi are nestled in a lush corner of Bali, surrounded by rice terraces, tropical gardens, and gentle streams. The moment you enter the space, there is a sense of harmony and calm, as if the land itself has been prepared to hold sacred energy. The architecture, with its pyramid structures and open spaces, encourages connection – to the earth beneath your feet, to the sky above, and to the subtle currents of life flowing all around. Birds sing in the trees, the breeze carries the scent of frangipani and jasmine, and every detail seems designed to invite presence and reflection. It is a space that supports transformation even before the ceremony begins.

What Is a Cacao Ceremony?

A cacao ceremony is a sacred ritual that uses ceremonial-grade cacao as a medium for connection, healing, and heart-opening. Unlike regular chocolate, ceremonial cacao is minimally processed and retains its natural compounds, including theobromine, which gently energizes the heart and mind. The cacao acts as a facilitator, helping to soften emotional walls, awaken intuition, and invite deeper self-awareness.

During the ceremony, participants often set intentions, engage in guided meditations, breathe deeply, and connect with music and movement. The goal is not only to enjoy cacao as a drink, but to experience it as a tool for inner exploration and transformation.

An Inner Journey

As we lay in savasana, the doors opened wide to the rice fields and gardens outside. The soft breeze touched my skin, and I felt a sense of peace and spaciousness that I hadn’t realized I needed. In that stillness, something old within me loosened and fell away. I released another layer that no longer served me – fears, old judgments, and tensions I hadn’t even noticed. The cacao seemed to open a gentle doorway into my heart, allowing me to meet my own vulnerability with compassion.

The combination of music, movement, and intentional sharing created a rhythm that mirrored life itself – moments of intensity followed by stillness, expansion followed by grounding. It reminded me that surrender is not passive; it is an active choice to allow life to flow through you without resistance.

Connection and Community

Cacao ceremonies are also about connection. Even in silence, the shared experience fosters a sense of community. Sitting together, drinking from the same intention, we were reminded that we are not isolated beings – we are part of something greater. The presence of others, witnessing and holding space, magnifies the ceremony’s effect. It’s a reminder that healing, celebration, and growth can be collective experiences.

Returning to the Heart

What remained at the end of the ceremony was lightness. A deeper connection to love, to gratitude, and to life itself. These ceremonies are more than rituals – they are reminders. Reminders that everything is connected, and that when we come with an open heart, we can return to what we truly are: love. Even hours later, the warmth of the cacao and the soft resonance of the music lingered, like a gentle thread connecting me back to the moment whenever I needed it.

About Me – Pure You

My name is Jacqueline Evers. Through Pure You, I create a space where presence, awareness, and the heart lead the way. I guide people — and myself — back to what is already whole within us: our essence, our rhythm, our inner light.

Writing and sharing these reflections is my way of holding a mirror for others — an invitation to pause, to breathe, and to reconnect with the quiet wisdom inside. Every word is an offering: a gentle reminder that transformation doesn’t have to be loud or forced; it unfolds naturally, when we allow ourselves to simply be.

Through retreats, teachings, and stories, I explore the intersection of body, mind, and spirit — the places where courage meets tenderness, where curiosity opens to understanding, and where self-love becomes a practice of daily life.
