The full moon has long been a time of reflection, renewal & release. Across cultures, people gather under its luminous glow to let go of what no longer serves them & to set intentions for the path ahead.
When paired with the ancient practice of a cacao ceremony, the experience becomes even more profound.
By sipping a warm cup of cacao prepared with Pascha Chocolate under the full moon you are creating space for transformation with intention. Drinking pure, melted Pascha Chocolate during this sacred ritual connects you with both the wisdom of ancient traditions & the integrity of a modern, sustainable brand.
What Is a Full Moon Cacao Ceremony?
A cacao ceremony is a sacred gathering rooted in Mayan & Aztec traditions. For centuries, cacao has been consumed in ritual form to inspire connection, healing, & awakening. Unlike a casual cup of hot cocoa, ceremonial cacao is pure, minimally processed & prepared with intention.
The full moon symbolizes illumination, release & clarity. When combined with a preparation of Pascha Chocolate, you create the space for a ritual that supports letting go of old patterns while opening space for renewal.

How to Prepare Your Space
Choose a quiet room or outdoor area. Clear the clutter. Set up an altar with all the items that resonate with you that would benefit from a direct infusion of full moon energy.
Smudge the Space - Use Palo Santo if you want to remove only negative energy. Use Sage if you want to clear both negative & positive energy.
While you’re smudging, release anything that doesn’t serve you. If you are compelled speak out loud what you are releasing. You may also choose to simply keep the dialogue internal which is totally acceptable and often common in a group setting.
Why Mason Jar Water?
Mason jar full moon water carries the moon’s energy, which you can absorb by pouring it over the body, using it to bless your front door for protection & positivity & washing your feet to ground yourself.
You simply fill a mason jar with water, sealing it & placing it on your ceremonial altar. After the ceremony, take all your altar items & the jar of water outside overnight to absorb the full moon’s energy.
Bring all items inside before sunrise.
You can use the Moon Infused Water in many ways:
- Pour a little on your front door to invite positive energy into your home.
- Use it in the shower or bath to bring that energy into your body.
- Wash your feet with it in a small ceremony to ground yourself.
Step-by-Step Ceremony Guide
Set up the Alter
Prepare the alter. Often things are place in a circle alter during ceremony so that all can contribute, see & participate with the offerings. Turn on music of choice.
Prepare Your Cacao
Use the recipe included below or prepare your favorite recipe using Pascha Dark Chocolate.
Open the Circle
Light your candle. Hold your cup of cacao near your heart. Take three deep breaths. Acknowledge the full moon’s energy & your intention to connect.
Smudge & Clear
Walk around the room with Sage or Palo Santo. State out loud what you are releasing.
Set Your Intention
Write down what you are releasing. If you feel called, we recommend you burn the paper safely, symbolizing the release.
Gratitude Practice
Recall 3 things you are grateful for. Let the feeling expand through your body.
Sip with Presence
Take your first sip of cacao slowly. Feel its warming energy spread through you.
Breathwork & Meditation
Spend 5–10 minutes in intentional breathwork, followed by a guided meditation. We recommend box breathing which includes take a 4 second inhale, hold for 4 & exhale for 4.
Journaling & Reflection
Use this time to write down the suggested questions for reflection noted below. You are also encouraged to write down insights, emotions, or visions that arise. Let the words flow freely & take your time here.
Movement Ritual
Put on music & allow your body to move. A gentle dance helps release tension & integrate the energy. You can also do simple somatic movements like shaking your hands, feet & shoulders for a beautiful energetic release.
Closing the Ceremony
Blow out your candle. Take a final sip of cacao. Sit quietly, honoring your experience & giving thanks.
Post Ceremony
Take the alter & build outdoors. Leave out overnight so all items can absorb the full moon energy directly. Be sure to return all items inside before sunrise.
