There is something magnetic about a full moon. A quiet intensity. A pull that speaks not only to the tides but to the deepest waters within us.

Every full moon offers a mirror. It illuminates what’s ready to be seen… old patterns, unspoken desires, silent grief, intuitive whispers. It’s not a time for rushing or forcing. It’s a moment for release. For remembrance. For soft surrender.

In many traditions, the full moon is celebrated with ritual. At RESÈT, we weave cacao into this practice, a heart-opening plant medicine that invites presence, vulnerability, and clarity.

Cacao is not just a warm drink. It’s a conscious ceremony. A way of sitting with the self, with intention and without distraction. It nourishes the body, awakens the heart, and clears energetic stagnation.

Here is a gentle ritual to try on the next full moon:

Prepare your space as if you’re welcoming someone sacred—because you are. Light candles. Burn palo santo or dried herbs. Let soft music fill the room. Ground your body, perhaps with movement or breath. Then, prepare your cacao slowly. Mindfully. With gratitude for the journey it has taken to reach your hands.

Once your cacao is ready, hold it in both hands. Close your eyes. Set an intention. What are you ready to release? What truth are you ready to acknowledge? What parts of yourself need more light, more love?

Drink slowly. Let it open you.

Write, dance, cry, stretch. Let the full moon guide you into remembrance. Not of who you should be, but who you already are, beneath the noise, the stories, the layers.

And when you’re done, thank the moon. Thank the cacao. Thank yourself.

Because showing up like this, soft, honest, whole… is a form of devotion.
