What is a Cacao?
Ceremonial Cacao, also known as "The Food of the Gods," is a sacred plant medicine that has been used for thousands of years by the Mayan and Aztec cultures in South and Central America. It was used to solve conflicts among nations, families, communities, and played a significant role in the economy.
Ceremonial cacao is the highest quality, purest, and unprocessed part of the cacao bean. It contains a molecule called Theobromine that generates more blood flow to the heart and the brain. Theobromine has a more grounding effect compared to the jittery effects produced by its sister molecule, caffeine.
What are the health benefits of Cacao?
Cacao is known for its mood boosting effects. It is one of the highest natural sources of antioxidants, as well as a number of vitamins and minerals such as— vitamin A, B, C, D, calcium, zinc, copper, potassium, and magnesium. The increase of blood flow to the brain allows you to feel a deep sense of focus and clarity.
What is a Cacao Ceremony?
All cacao ceremonies are unique and different, traditionally shared to help tribes and communities come together in unity. The Spirit of Cacao offers us a medicine that opens the heart, allowing for a deeper, more intimate connection with ourselves and each other.
Our session will include guided breath-work, meditation, and movement, live music, song, prayer, sound healing, sharing from the heart, and a sweet celebration of life.
Join us to restore whole health, a deeper authentic connection within community and most importantly, with ourselves.
