Cacao ceremony and tea ceremony with Lexa
A ceremony slows you down to the speed of a cup. Lexa holds cacao and tea ceremonies on her retreats, and in Miami one of them ran late into the night.
What it is
What is a cacao ceremony
A cacao ceremony is a circle in which ceremonial cacao is drunk slowly and with intention. The tradition comes from Mesoamerica, where cacao was a sacred plant. Today the circle joins the cup with an intention, with breath and with sound.
With Lexa the ceremony sits inside the day, next to breath and sound.
Miami, March 2026
Tea ceremony
On the Miami retreat in March 2026 the group sat around a tea table with clay teapots and small bowls, and the tea was poured again and again. The ceremony ran late. The same week held the evening when the real things finally got said.
Tea asks for attention to small things: the water, the steam, the moment of pouring. That attention is the practice.
