🌱 About Cacao

Cacao is a sacred, heart-opening plant medicine honoured for centuries in healing traditions. Unlike processed chocolate, ceremonial-grade cacao is raw, pure, and nutrient-rich—awakening both body and spirit while fostering presence, creativity, and emotional healing.

For this ceremony, we’ll be sharing Full Power Cacao, ethically sourced from the lush Sur del Lago region of Mérida, Venezuela. Grown on small family farms as part of a sustainable development project, this special blend of Criollo and Trinitario varieties is renowned for its depth, smoothness, and uplifting energy.
