HISTORY OF CACAO CEREMONY
Cacao ceremonies have been around for thousands of years, originating from Mayan and Aztec cultures.

Pure cacao is used as a heart-opening medicine for people to safely experience awakening, revelation, and inner healing.
Cacao is used in a sacred medicinal ritual where intentions are set. Once consumed, euphoric states are unlocked, negative emotions are released, and we are able to connect to ourselves and the loving energy in our body. The ancient Mayans referred to cacao as “Theobroma cacao” or “Food of the God”. Ancient Native Americans turned cacao into a drink for spiritual and medicinal ceremonies. They used it to awaken one’s inner self and creativity.
WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR CACAO CEREMONY?
Cacao ceremonies are a type of shamanic healing – which is one of the oldest holistic healing practices used by indigenous cultures all over the world. These types of healing ceremonies work with rebalancing energies in the body to regain health. However, unlike other shamanic experiences, drinking cacao will not make you hallucinate or give you some sort of ‘out-of-body’ psychedelic experience. Cacao instead, is used to gently touch your heart and to guide you into an inner journey deep into the emotional center of our body – our heart (Anahata) chakra.
