Scientifically called Theobroma Cacao, it is the raw, unprocessed version of chocolate. Ceremonial Cacao is made for ritual purposes and is produced with passion and intention.
What are the origins of Cacao ceremonies?
Cacao ceremonies are rooted in indigenous practices from Central and South America, which is also where the ceremonial Cacao we consume is harvested and produced. It is important to acknowledge and honor the origins of this practice, as well as give thanks to the energies they’ve put into the making of it.

Does it taste like chocolate?
Yes, and no. Because it is unprocessed, it is not as sweet as regular chocolate, and has a taste that some might consider bitter.

Bring a blanket, pillow or cushion to sit on, a journal, pen and your intention!
