"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 Cacao'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 exchanged 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Cacao fosters a consciously inspired state of being where we can set new goals, direct intentions and clear away old, outdated habits and thought patterns.
Cacao is a medicine first. Healing the heart and one's connection to the heart of the earth. These traditions have been graciously carried by the Indigenous peoples of Central America for thousands of years. It is with respect and humility that we continue these sacred practices and gather to commune with the heart.
Ceremonial Cacao prepared with high quality 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 the feelings of well-being, combat stress and anxiety, and contribute to motivation. Cacao 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 brew made from ceremonial Cacao, local honey, cayenne (or other chilies) and a blend of spices unique to the gathering.
Fostering deep relaxation, inspiring a peaceful state of being, and enlivening joy by bringing us into the "Bliss Body" or the Anandamaya Kosha.
Jesse guides the group on a journey using meditation, sound, and breath to open our hearts and learn from sacred cacao, the plant given to human-kind when we found ourselves out of balance the natural order and harmony of planet Earth.
