Sacred Cacao Ceremonies:

The use of Cacao in ceremonies and circles has cultural roots in Indigenous communities from Central and South America; ceremonial Cacao is intentionally created for ritual use, paying homage to traditional practices of production and consumption.
Ceremonial Cacao is 100% Cacao paste of the highest quality. It is made from heirloom strains of Cacao native to Central and South America. Ceremonial Cacao is organic, ethically sourced and minimally processed. Cacao gatherings involve community, a sacred circle, music and of course, ceremonial Cacao. The medicine of Cacao can support a deepening connection to your heart and acts as a gentle guide through transformational consciousness shifts.
