About this Experience

What you'll do:

You and your group gather in a circle to share a guided cacao ceremony, an ancient ritual using ceremonially prepared drinking chocolate that opens the heart, settles the mind, and deepens the connection between people who already know each other well.

  • Cacao ceremony – Sip a warm, ceremonially prepared cacao drink made with all-natural, organic ingredients while your host guides you through the ritual and its significance.

  • Heart-opening meditation – Move through a guided meditation designed to quiet mental noise and bring your group into genuine presence with each other.

  • Optional sound bath – Immerse in live sound healing using instruments that work on the nervous system, a deeply relaxing layer you can add when booking.

  • Oracle card reading – Draw cards as a group to spark honest reflection and open up conversation in a way that goes deeper than typical party talk.

  • Sharing circle – Close the experience by speaking and being heard in a held, intentional space, which most guests say they didn't expect to love as much as they did.

This is the kind of experience your group will still be talking about a week later, not because it was unusual, but because it was real. Lauren holds the space so that the connection actually happens.

Why we love it for your party:

  • At-home setup – Lauren comes to you, so your group stays in a comfortable, familiar space rather than traveling across town.

  • Private and intimate – The whole experience is just for your group, no strangers, no shared studio, no performance pressure.

  • Sound bath add-on – You can include live sound healing in your booking, making it easy to customize the experience to how deep your group wants to go.

  • Fully facilitated – Lauren handles the ceremony, the meditation, and the circle, so you show up and receive no prep required from the host.

  • Scales with your group – Booking options accommodate different party sizes and run times, so you're not paying for more than you need.

  • Please let Lauren know about any dietary restrictions before your session so she can prepare accordingly.
