What is Cacao?

Cacao is chocolate in its purest form. Used for centuries by Mayan, Aztec and other meso-american cultures; in ceremony and daily life as a medicine and sacred food it is “returning” now as a way to bring us back into balance with nature and our hearts.

Cacao opens us to connect more with who we truly are, it invites all feelings but is known as a heart-opening medicine as its properties indeed increase sensations of love, joy and contentment due to the release of seretonin and the presence of other blissful compounds. (anandamide and phenylthamine)

What is a Cacao Ceremony?

A Cacao Ceremony is a gathering to share and experience with and from the medicine of Cacao. Simply put we drink a cup of strong hot chocolate or Ceremonial-grade Cacao and melt into the space with a guided meditation.

The ceremony is a place to slow down and connect to our true nature of love supported by this sacred medicine and to be held in a space to feel, release and be.

What you need to know:

-You need just comfortable clothing, a water bottle

-You will be sitting cross-legged for some of the time and then can move to lay down during the meditation.

-Lighter meals are recommended prior as Cacao can be strong on our bellies but listen to what your body needs.

-Anybody with heart issues or taking anti-depressant medication please inform Audrey so dosage can be adjusted as there can be contra-indications.
