"Sitting with Cacao has melted open the doorway to my heart"
A one million year old teacher, Cacao Theobroma has played an integral role in the development of ancient civilization. Today we know it only as heavily processed chocolate, but it's roots go so much deeper. The history in its native land (Mesoamerica) is rich with the cacao bean. Once worth more than gold, it was regularly used as currency and a gift during weddings, rites of passage and communal gatherings. We find often that mythology and creation stories in these communities acknowledge cacao as a revered source of godliness.
Cacao is a teacher to our own innate guide.
In its natural state, cacao works with the body like a key, opening the doors to who and what we are, allowing us to fully feel what is happening inside, while offering the opportunity to re-direct and attune our lives. Connecting to the spirit of Cacao fosters a consciously inspired state of being where we can set new goals, direct intention and clear away old, outdated habits and thought patterns.
Ceremonial Cacao prepared with high quality cacao beans allows the neurochemicals contained in the carrier oils (cacao butter) to become particularly active within the body. Blood flow is increased to the brain, heart and skin, emphasizing sensation, nourishing the body and enhancing focus. Rich in 'feel good' compounds, cacao contains the neurotransmitters serotonin, tryptophan and dopamine which assist with he feelings of well-being, combat stress and anxiety and contribute to motivation. It also contains the neuromodulator phenylethylamine which helps the body create feelings of excitement and euphoria. One of the highest sources of Flavonoids (anti-oxidants) and magnesium on the planet, cacao is extremely beneficial to heart health and reducing blood pressure.

So what is a Cacao Ceremony?
We come together in a safe space and share a strong beverage made from ceremonial Cacao, local honey, cayenne (or other chilies) and a blend of spices unique to the gathering and the season (often similar to chai.) Fostering deep relaxation, inspiring a peaceful state of being and enlivening a joy by bringing us into the "Bliss Body" or the Anandamaya Kosha.
