Couples Cacao Ceremony
Remembering The Sacred In Your Connection
A private, personalized 2.5 hour ceremony in Santa Monica
A Space To Deepen Your Intimate Connection with Your Partner
We live busy lives. Responsibilities accumulate, familiar patterns take over, and even the person we love most can begin to feel far away.
One of the most important things we can do for our relationships is intentionally create space to remember what is sacred between us.
This ceremony is for couples longing for deeper connection. For time together that feels satisfying, nourishing, and restorative.
I create a timeless space where you can step away from the outside world, soften into one another, and reconnect with the love at the heart of your relationship.
We begin with ceremonial cacao and your choice of rose or bobinsana.
Rose invites tenderness, sensuality, and softening into your shared love, while bobinsana offers a deeper invitation into emotional connection and the wisdom of the heart. Before your ceremony, you’ll complete a brief intake to help us choose the plant support that best serves your intentions.
Drawing on my depth of experience in somatic intimacy and guiding couples through intentional touch, I offer partnered practices that support you in listening more deeply to your own body and to one another.
Together, we nourish your relationship, bodies, and hearts.
This personalized ceremony is for couples seeking a sacred space to nourish their relationship and cultivate new ways of connecting that feel satisfying to you both.
Before we meet, you’ll complete a brief intake so I can understand your intentions and shape the ceremony around what is alive in your relationship.

Investment: $1,200 per couple
What to expect:
We’ll settle into the space together.
I’ll open the ceremony in ritual and create space for you to share your intentions.
I’ll serve ceremonial cacao with rose or bobinsana and share sacred songs as you allow the plants and ritual space to support your hearts in softening and opening.
I’ll guide you through a series of partnered practices involving shared breath, intentional touch, and words. Depending on your intentions, you may explore giving and receiving, communicating desires and boundaries, slowing down touch, and listening to the subtle language of each other’s bodies—discovering new ways of connecting physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
I’ll take some adorable photos if you want them.
We’ll move into reflection and gratitude to close the ceremony.
This ceremony draws on my years of experience as a somatic sexuality practitioner and plant medicine facilitator, along with extensive training in consent, embodied intimacy, intentional touch, and ceremonial plant work. I weave these practices together to create a space where you can listen more deeply to your own body, to each other, and to the particular plant supporting your ceremony.
Your complimentary discovery call serves as an initial intake and gives us space to feel into whether the ceremony is aligned for you both.

A Note About Sensuality and Consent
While the exercises in this ceremony are not explicitly sexual, sensuality is welcomed and encouraged.
The tools and practices shared can support greater presence, communication, and attunement—capacities that can deepen both your intimate connection and your sex life.
Everything I offer is an invitation. I create ongoing opportunities for both partners to communicate their boundaries and desires. Either of you may modify or decline any practice at any time.
Ceremonial Cacao
Ceremonial cacao contains naturally occurring stimulants, including caffeine and theobromine.
Before booking, please let me know if either partner is pregnant, has a heart condition or significant sensitivity to stimulants, or takes medication that may interact with cacao. The ceremony can be adjusted when needed.
Your complimentary discovery call serves as an initial intake and gives us space to feel into whether the ceremony is aligned for you both.
“My wife and I booked a Cacao Ceremony for our honeymoon. We intended to use this time to recharge and ensure we were connected after all the wedding stress. What we got was so much more!
It was beautiful, we had the opportunity to make sure we told each other how much we value the other and why. Ariel facilitated and in doing so created an environment that was not just beautiful but comfortable. There were multiple check ins for consent to make sure all party were still comfortable and this created a safe environment for us to be very vulnerable. We enjoyed our time so much will be working with her virtually in the future, till our next visit.
Thank you Ariel for making our Honeymoon extra special and giving us tools to use through our marriage.”
