Mama Cacao Dance Ceremony

What makes this event stand out is the combination of live sound, ceremonial cacao and a very small group. It feels more personal than a large ecstatic dance event, with more intention behind it than simply turning up to move to music. It feels like a good choice for someone who is drawn to spiritual experiences but wants something more expressive and active than sitting in a circle for the whole evening.

The evening begins with a serving of Peruvian cacao led by Jkson. From there, the group moves into an ecstatic dance session with live sound, supported by Facu. The music combines electronic production with organic textures, native voices and deeper rhythms. After the dance, the pace slows into sound and gong integration, followed by a closing circle.

Mama Cacao was founded by Angel Agustín Jacky, a facilitator and musician from Argentina who is also behind the musical project JKSON. His background includes meditation, breathwork, Reiki, music therapy and studies connected with Andean cultures and traditions of the Peruvian Amazon. Through JKSON, he combines analogue synthesis, native voices, organic textures and deep rhythm in live ceremonial sound experiences. For this event, Angel leads both the cacao opening and the live ecstatic dance experience.

Mama Cacao describes its cacao as ceremonial grade Criollo cacao sourced directly from small family farms and cooperatives in Latin America. According to Mama Cacao, it is organically grown, minimally processed, slowly dried and prepared without added sugar. The cacao is central to the evening rather than simply being served as a welcome drink.

The event runs from 17:30 to 20:30, with doors opening at 17:15. The organiser asks everyone to arrive on time so the opening ceremony is not interrupted. Bring a water bottle and something warm or comfortable for the sound integration. You can also bring a small offering for the cacao, such as flowers, fruit, seeds or nuts. The offering is optional. Participants are asked to fast lightly for at least 2 hours before the ceremony. Anyone who is pregnant, taking antidepressants, or living with a heart condition, high blood pressure, epilepsy or another significant medical condition should contact the organiser before attending.

Maybe it is the cacao that draws you in. Maybe it is the dancing, the live sound, or simply the idea of doing something different with your Sunday evening. If the combination of ceremony, movement and music feels right, you can reserve your place through the official booking link.
