Cacao Ceremonies in Ubud

Ceremonial cacao is Ubud's quiet constant — the cup that opens an evening of song, stillness, or dance. Some circles are intimate and unhurried; others build into kirtan or ecstatic movement as the night deepens.

Below: every cacao ceremony currently on the valley's calendar, from weekly heart-opening circles to the full-moon gatherings that draw the whole field together.
