Sacred Bridges: A Mayan-Tibetan Journey of Heart and Spirit


Join The Sacred Cacao Path for an extraordinary evening where two ancient traditions meet in harmony. Sacred Bridges is a rare cacao ceremony that blends the spiritual wisdom of the Maya and Tibetan cultures — an evening of connection, reverence, and heart-centered intention rooted in love, kindness, and compassion. Led by Guatemalan cacao ceremony facilitator Athena Montanari, this gathering welcomes Tibetan monks as honored guests, celebrating the shared values that unite these sacred paths.
​A Journey of Two Sacred Traditions For the Maya, cacao is a sacred medicine — a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. Likewise, Tibetan monks honor life through prayers, offerings, and mandalas, creating their own bridge to the divine. Though their practices emerged on opposite sides of the world, both traditions honor the power of ritual, devotion, and spiritual connection. Athena, who has worked alongside the Tibetan monks since 2019, is honored to bring them into this sacred space — blending the wisdom of Mayan cacao with the Tibetan path of compassion, mindfulness, and offering."Both traditions teach us to honor life with offerings — cacao, flowers, prayers, or chants — all ways to open the heart and connect to something greater than ourselves." — Athena Montanari
​Why This Experience is Unforgettable Sacred Tibetan Blessing
The evening begins with a rare and powerful blessing from the Tibetan monks — setting the space with energy of peace, compassion, and spiritual protection.
​Heart-Opening Cacao Ceremony
​Experience the ancient Mayan tradition with Athena Montanari, a Guatemalan cacao ceremony facilitator. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to see, touch, and experience a real cacao pod, deepening their connection to the sacred plant and its journey from seed to ceremonial drink.   As you sip the warm cacao you’ll be invited to open your heart with self-love, gratitude, and compassion for yourself and others.
​Stillness, Reflection, and Renewal
Through guided intention-setting, mindful cacao drinking, and moments of silence, you’ll find a place of inner stillness — a chance to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with yourself.
​Meet the Tibetan Monks
After the ceremony, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the monks, ask questions, and receive their blessings and wisdom in an intimate, heart-centered setting.
Support a Sacred Cause
Half of all proceeds will go directly to supporting the Tibetan monks' efforts to preserve their sacred traditions and cultural heritage.
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience
