Cacao, Live Music and Dance at Schloss Glarisegg

We picked it for the way cacao, improvised music and movement are woven into one carefully held group experience, with each facilitator and role clearly named.

The ceremony runs on Saturday, 26 December 2026 from 15:00 to 20:00 CET at Schloss Glarisegg in Steckborn. Expect a guided cacao ritual, shared singing, a large dance and an invitation to supportive touch. The guided part ends at about 19:00, followed by an optional shared meal.

Advance tickets cost CHF 60, CHF 70 or CHF 80; every tier includes CHF 10 for cacao. Online sales close at 12:00 CET on 26 December, and the box-office price is CHF 80 if available. The organiser recommends not eating after 14:00. Bring comfortable clothes, a water bottle and an altar object; bring food to share if staying for the meal. German is listed from the German original source, not an explicit spoken-language statement. The participatory format is for people interested in cacao, singing, movement, live music and group connection. The page does not state the cacao ingredients, an experience requirement, an age policy or event-space accessibility arrangements.

This winter gathering combines a cacao ritual, voice and free movement with live music. Shakya Matthias Grahe and Rishi Sigurd Vlote shape the soundscape through cello, guitar, keyboard, hang, percussion, RAV drum and voice, while Yvonne Maurer guides the cacao ritual.
