About the Ceremony
Allow the sacred medicine of the ancient super food cacao to help you open your heart, clear your mind and connect to your intuitive wisdom. Through ceremonial cacao and guided visualizations, take a journey into your heart for core healing, compassion and insights. Connect into your most powerful and wise loving energy, your own sacred heart.
The primary intention of this ceremony is to gently open the heart space and allow each of us to settle into that frequency together. The experience will include guided education, intentional reflection, ceremonial consumption of the cacao, meditation, and dedicated space for individual sharing and integration.
SHINE’s signature Organic Ecuadorian Ceremonial Cacao is sourced from small family farms in Ecuador and consciously processed for highest quality flavor and experience. Rich in magnesium and zinc, this cacao supports the body and brain to optimize mental focus, heart health and improved immunity. This ancient cacao ceremonial practice is designed to awaken heart wisdom through gratitude and presence.

Facilitator Bio
Sarah Ann Lesslie
“People often ask how I found my way to chocolate, but I truly believe chocolate found me. After moving to Sedona in 2005, I experienced my first cacao ceremony, and the profound sense of joy and connection it inspired changed the course of my life. Soon after, a chance encounter led me to apprentice with master chocolatier, Kelly Johnson for ten years, where I honed my craft and later earned my Professional Chocolatier certification through Ecole Chocolat.”
“Alongside chocolate, I studied herbalism for more than 500 hours, inspired by my own search for natural wellness. By combining medicinal herbs with handcrafted chocolate, I created my first botanical blends—an idea that became the foundation of Chocolita.”
“Today, my passion is creating functional, botanical chocolates that nourish both body and spirit while celebrating the remarkable diversity of plants. Every bar is crafted with the intention of bringing a little more joy, wellness, and ritual into everyday life.”
