How does it work? 

Sacred Cacao works on opening and activating the heart chakra, as it increases blood flow throughout the body. The ceremonial cacao used in all of our sacred ceremonies is 100% organic, ethically sourced and minimally processed to maintain its nutrients at an optimal level.

Bursting with benefits, cacao is one of the most concentrated forms of magnesium, calcium, chromium and antioxidants found in nature.

We utilise this plant medicine with reverence and respect to journey home to the heart, REconnect to our inner wisdom, heal the mind and body, develop creativity, heighten meditation and deepen our intimate relationships.
