Cacao - Gatherings - Retreats
Pacifik Kakao
In a world moving faster than ever, many of us are craving something real — something that brings us back to ourselves, our senses, our connection with nature and each other. We’re remembering the simple, powerful things that nourish us deeply. One of those gifts is Mama Cacao — a plant medicine, a heart food, and a bridge to ancient wisdom.
Our cacao comes straight from Pacific farmers, made with love and intention. It is fully activated — both bean and rich cacao butter — supporting local communities and reconnecting us with our Pacific family.
The Heart-Opening Power of Mama Cacao
Pure Mama Cacao is one of the most beautiful ways to drop into our deeper knowing. This ancient, rich, abundant drink brings us straight into the heart. With every sip, we remember — tribes held in love, families connected, elders guiding, healers supporting, communities living in harmony with both light and shadow.
These ancient ways were not limited to one culture or one people. From the Pacific to the Celtics, humanity once lived in balance, oneness and reciprocity. Sometimes we simply need to look back a few centuries to rediscover the gems.
We are expanding our Pacifik Kakao to festival stalls & boutique organic outlets. Enquire below to purchase for home, or your conscious outlet.
Experience Cacao as Ceremony, Not Just a Drink
At our gatherings and through our cacao offerings, you’ll get to taste this unique Pacifik Kakao (Kakao in Pacific & Maori means “Spirit of Light”).
Our experiences (Journeys, Movement, Kakao Sit & Socialise) Mama Cacao brings you back to your heart — to the childlike, the pure, the innocent, the untamed. It reconnects you to ALL, to the vastness of existence. In our lineage, we call this IO — the supreme being beyond gender, the essence of Love and Beauty exploring itself through us. I = Infinite O = Ocean
Feel yourself held in the infinite ocean of possibility.
“A cup of love.” - Janelle
Ara Mu Pacifik Kakao is absolutely delicious. From the moment it touched my tongue and travelled down into my belly, I felt this beautiful warmth and goodness. It was comforting, heartfelt, and genuinely felt like a cup of love.
“A daily ritual of gratitude.” - Whitney
Thank you for introducing cacao into my life. It has now become part of my daily ritual. I’m so grateful for the care, warmth, and healing you shared with me.
Kakao Bell Tent Experiences (at Wellbeing Events)
"Thank you for a wonderful session for our 40th birthday girls weekend. You helped us focus on our breath work and releasing a build up of energy in our bodies. We loved the light movement session and all enjoyed the delicious cup of Kakao. It was a wonderful relaxing session to end our weekend away. Beautiful way to take the time to focus on ourselves rather than the rushing busy aspects of mum life." - Jess, at the North Stradbroke Island Event held by Kirsten (Ara Mu)

Who we are
Joni Bee, Byron Bay NSW, Australia
I'm grateful to be part of the Ara Mu Pacific Kakao family, sharing ceremonial-grade Pacific Cacao with my local community and beyond. Connection, nourishment, and community are at the heart of everything I do. As a facilitator and doula, I love supporting people through life's transitions, particularly women's health journeys, menstrual awareness, and creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered. Cacao has become a beautiful ally in this work, inviting us to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and create meaningful moments with the people we love. I value the integrity, sustainability, and heart behind every block of Ara Mu Pacifik Kakao. Not only does it support Pacific growers and honour traditional relationships with cacao, but it also offers a rich source of naturally occurring minerals such as magnesium, iron, and antioxidants that can support wellbeing when enjoyed as part of a balanced lifestyle. For me, cacao is both a nourishing daily ritual and a powerful reminder of the importance of connection—to ourselves, each other, and the earth. It's a privilege to share this cacao with you. Whether you're ordering your first block or returning for more, thank you for being part of this growing community and for supporting an ethical Pacific-grown cacao that's made with care from beginning to end.

Kirsten (Ara Mu)
As a facilitator exploring human potential in business and alternative ways of living, I’ve always sought ways to help people drop into their hearts and step out of the busy mind. Cacao arrived as the most powerful tool for this—an anchor into presence, softness, and shared experience. Being part of the Ara Mu Pacific Kakao family allows me to weave ceremonial‑grade cacao into the spaces I hold. My work is rooted in connection and community, guiding people through growth and transition with clarity and grounded awareness. Cacao supports this beautifully, encouraging us to slow down, reconnect with our bodies, and create meaningful moments together. I deeply appreciate the integrity and sustainability behind Ara Mu Pacifik Kakao, honouring Pacific growers and traditional relationships while offering natural wellbeing benefits. Cacao has become a daily reminder of connection—to self, to others, and to the earth. It’s an honour to share this cacao with you, whether you’re exploring it for the first time or returning for more. Thank you for supporting ethical, Pacific‑grown cacao made with intention from beginning to end.
