Awaken Your Heart with Cacao

Awaken your Heart with Cacao is an opportunity to devote some time to yourself. Away from the distractions and the responsibilities of everyday life, this is a safe and intentional space for self-care, compassion and community. 

Cacao ceremonies are one of the oldest holistic practices used by indigenous cultures all over the world. The Mayan and Aztec used Cacao not just as a beverage or food, but for spiritual, medicinal and ceremonial purposes for inner awakening and creative guidance.

IS CACAO THE SAME AS CHOCOLATE?

Not exactly, Cacao used in a Cacao Ceremony is different from regular chocolate we eat. Unlike what you might expect, it doesn’t taste anything like hot chocolate, so it might shock you when you first try it. Ritual cacao is made from ground cacao beans, water, a tiny bit of honey or maple syrup all mixed into a liquid. The taste is actually bitter but naturally high in iron, magnesium and B-complex vitamins.
