CACAO CEREMONY
Cacao ceremonies are a type of shamanic healing – which is one of the oldest holistic healing practices used by indigenous cultures all over the world. These types of healing ceremonies work with rebalancing energies in the body to regain health. Cacao - plant medicine is used to gently touch your heart and to guide you into an inner journey deep into the emotional center of our body – our heart (Anahata) chakra. Drinking cacao will not make you hallucinate or give you some sort of ‘out-of-body’ psychedelic experience. However combined with a music & dance you will certainly reach elevated states of ecstatic peaks and feeling naturally high.
- A heart opening journey of oneness, love and ecstasy.
- Holistic Healing Therapy – releasing stress & energy blocks, recognising patterns, following & expanding your heart.
- A shamanic or spiritual journey to deepen the connection to yourself and your own highest power and truth.
- Drink Sacred Cacao ‘Chocolate Superfood’ to move, heal & transform within, immersing you in music, mindfulness and ancient holistic rituals with a modern spin.
- A space to enter into movement/meditation/contemplation – being able to silence the mind, connect to the wisdom and spirit within you.
- Boost natural D.O.S.E of feel-good endorphins levels.(Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins)

HEALTH BENEFITS OF CACAO
Raw cacao has been used for centuries to heal the mental, physical and spiritual body. It is a natural and ancient plant medicine, with a high concentration of vitamins, minerals and is a powerful antioxidant. Cacao also increases blood flow (oxygen and nutrients) to the brain as well as induces the release of feel-good endorphins. It enhances the immune system and lowers cholesterol, blood pressure & so much more.

CACAO CEREMONY HISTORY
Cacao ceremonies have actually been around for thousands of years, originating all the way back to Mayan and Aztec traditions in Central and South America, used for spiritual, medicinal and ceremonial purposes for inner awakening and creative guidance. Pure cacao is used as a heart opening medicine for people to safely experience awakening, revelation and inner healing. Cacao is used in a sacred medicinal ritual, where intentions are set and once consumed, euphoric states are unlocked, negative emotions are released and we are able to connect to ourselves and the loving energy in our body.
