Cacao + Clay
An Adult Playdate with Alexa Brown and Shelly of Svona Studio
We open with a cacao ceremony: a full ceremonial dose, a guided blessing, and a meditation to bring you out of your head and back into your body. Then we move into the studio, hands in clay, guided by Shelly, where you’ll make an incense holder or chimney to take home.
No ceramics experience needed. No ceremony experience needed. Just show up.
The experience:
This is a full immersive experience. You will receive, be witnessed, and create.
A full ceremonial dose of ceremonial grade cacao
Guided meditation and cacao blessing with Alexa
Incense holder or chimney creation guided by Shelly of Svona Studio
Your finished piece to take home after firing
An evening of community, creativity, and presence
This evening includes:
An evening of community, creativity, and genuine presence.
Something you made with your own hands, something that belongs on your altar, your windowsill, or anywhere in your home that holds meaning for you.
There is something quietly profound about that. Incense and cacao have both been used ritually for thousands of years, across cultures, as a way of marking sacred space and inviting presence. To sit with cacao and then shape the very vessel that will hold your incense, to make it yourself, in community, while still inside the medicine — that’s not just a craft night. It’s a little act of reclamation. Something that is fully, completely yours.

Good to Knows:
Curious what ceremony actually looks like?
Watch this reel or Read this post— it’ll give you a real sense of the space, the energy, and what to expect when you walk in.
No experience needed.
You don’t need to know anything about cacao, meditation, or ceremony. Come exactly as you are.
On SSRIs or have sensitivities?
Cacao is still safe for you. At higher ceremonial doses it can interact with certain medications, so I always recommend reaching out first. A smaller dose is available, and you are completely welcome in this space. I’m happy to answer any questions.
What to wear and bring:
Wear something soft and comfortable. You’ll be on the floor for most of it, so dress like you’re staying in on a Sunday morning.
Bring with you:
A yoga mat
A blanket if you have one (always a good idea)
Something for the altar, if you feel called
A journal (optional) to write your experience while you’re still in it
