Ceremonial Offerings & Blessings

“Ceremony brings the sacred into ordinary life. For tens of thousands of years, ceremonies have been universally used to help communities navigate change and welcome new cycles. Performing ceremonies creates a bridge between the material world we live in and the world of the unseen, the divine, the power of the universe. When you invoke the sacred power of ceremony you tap into one of the oldest and most effective tools for transforming both yourself and the world.
”- Sandra Ingerman author of The Book of Ceremony

BellaHeart Cacao is pleased to offer ceremonies for the many occasions in our lifetime.

Our belief is that all life is ceremony and so as we navigate our transitions, we can both celebrate and honor them with those we love.

Cacao is a gentle, heart opening medicine that will add the elements of sacredness and blessings to your life events.

Mother & Baby Blessing

 In preparation for bringing a baby earth-side, it is beautiful to offer a mother blessing.

This ceremony is rooted in the Navajo tradition of helping to prepare the pregnant mother for transition into motherhood. It is a sacred gathering centered mostly upon the mother, offering her love, nourishment and blessings.

 We open with Cacao and meditation then offer beautiful practices such as  stringing beads to create a necklace for mother or creating yarn bracelets to be worn by family and friends up to and through the birth of the baby. These practices will bring additional focus to blessings and prayers.

 We will  work with  you to incorporate our ceremonial piece into your planned event and we can assist with planning the event as well.

 We will travel to your location or host your event at our home in Park City, Utah.

Wedding Shower and or Bachelorette Parties

 A wedding shower/party  is a circle of women gathered to celebrate and share with you this amazing and beautiful transition in your life. By adding a cacao experience, we help you bring a level of sacredness and ceremony to this very special event.

 Our intention is to co-create with you a loving and trusting environment for you to enjoy with those women closest to you. These special women will help to usher in all the good wishes for you as you move forward towards this new life with your beloved. 

Going from single life to married life can be a very loving and harmonious process when you share it, fill it with deep meaning, and open the door to the new changes that lie ahead. 

Cacao will help enhance the deep connection, love and understanding with your circle of friends.

​The ceremony consists of the following steps:

•   Purification ritual for you and your guests with sage/palo santo, flowers, incense and flower water (Peruvian Agua de Florida)
•   Creating a wedding Despacho (prayer bundle) together with your attendees
•   Lighting the candle one to the other until they reach you to give you all the light and advice you will need in this beautiful new union.
•   Cacao Ceremony with sound healing to recognize the sacredness of this moment.

 Wedding Ceremony or Re-Commitment Ceremony

Infuse your wedding ceremony with a most sacred and heart filled rite of passage as you cross the threshold into marriage.  An offering of cacao as part of the marital blessing is a beautiful way to honor each other.  We can co-create with you your ideal ceremony.

Our ceremonial offerings can include:

• Purification ritual (saging, etc.),
• Despacho (prayer bundle with elements of the earth), 
• spoken blessings, 
• guided meditations and reading
• shamanic drumming 
• and other elements of your choice to bring a deeper connection to this sacred agreement, love and union. 

We bring in all the elements, earth, water, fire and water as part of the ceremony.

Cheryl Mirabella is a minister with the Universal Life Church and can offer the wedding ceremony as well.
