Ceremonial Cacao Recipe

Mama Cacao

Drink Cacao to say thank you for what I have,
Drink Cacao to say thank you for what I am,
Drink Cacao to say thank you for everything I know,
Mama Cacao del Amor.

This medicine is the gateway to open our hearts, bringing us back to our natural state of,

LOVE  -  ONENESS  -  CONNECTION

Cacao helps us to understand our own truth and to remember the language of the Heart.

Used and loved for ceremony and ritual since 3,200BC by the Ecuadorian tribes and peoples, now enjoyed by people all around the world, cacao serves as a tool for connecting us to the energetic space of our hearts, as well as to people around you.
Drinking cacao helps us connect to our inner self, assisting in deeper healing and receiving clarity in the areas of love, purpose, intuition and personal growth.
Indigenous cacao keepers say that every plant has a spirit.
Before our modern ways of existing and living took over we lived in harmony with our natural world, we respected the wisdom of plants and what they could teach us.
Plant medicines such as cacao help us to reconnect with this primal wisdom, bringing us back into harmony with ourselves, each other and Earth.
