Keith Wilson

Keith Wilson, founder of Keith's Cacao, apart from being an exceptional Ceremonial Cacao maker, was also a brilliant "processing intuitive." For the two decades he lived in San Marcos La Laguna, he generously shared his Cacao and profound teachings on his fabled "porch." These gatherings marked the inception of modern-day Cacao Ceremonies and formed the core of what Keith affectionately termed an unofficial school.

Keith Wilson, the founder of Keith’s Cacao, the world's beloved Chocolate Shaman, peacefully drew his last breath in the early hours of January 14, 2024. Heeding the call of the Cacao Spirit, Keith took on the mission of returning Ceremonial Cacao to a world that had forgotten. In doing so he became the catalyst for today's ever-expanding Ceremonial Cacao movement and the father of an amazing community of healers and Cacao Practitioners. We are forever grateful; and honored to carry on his legacy.

Cacao Ceremonies have surged in popularity over the last few years. Ceremonial Cacao events are advertised all over social media, and more and more people respond to the invitation to join in and experience the power of this incredible plant medicine to change consciousness in the most subtle yet definite way. So what are Cacao Ceremonies, and where did they originate from? The answer may surprise you.
