In preparation for drinking cacao:
Cacao does contains a small amount of caffeine. As such, we recommend you do NOT drink any stimulants, including COFFEE, at least 3 hours before the moon circle.
Bring a water bottle with you and be sure to drink plenty of water both before and after the moon circle.
We also recommend that you do not eat for at least three hours prior to the ceremony to support your body to take in and absorb the cacao for ceremony.
If you have any medical issues/conditions, are taking any medication (including anti-depressants), if you have a heart condition, or if you are pregnant, please consult your GP before drinking cacao.
Please bring:
a crystal, a flower, a shell, a feather, a stone or a small precious object to place on our group altar
a notebook and pen to journal
