how can we work together?

  • A cacao ceremony is a type of shamanic healing, rooted in helping rebalance the energies within us, open our hearts, and restore good health.

    It’s perfect for someone wanting to experience and grow through shamanic ritual without the often intense experience associated with Ayahuasca.

    It's for those who want to heal your mind, body, and spirit.

    Cacao gives you permission to love yourself with all of the possibilities that you can be.

    It helps you to visualize your goals and reveals your passions and goals through awakening and inner healing.

    The plant spirit of cacao is powerful but gentle and nurturing. It invites you to work with forgiveness and acceptance and opens your creativity – one of the reasons it is very popular with artists of all types.

  • I didn’t find the recetas, rituales or ceremonies to of my abuelitas in writing.

    It wasn’t passed down neatly.

    How could it have?

    We spent centuries hiding our medicina in fear that we would be beaten or killed for sharing the medicia our colonizers disagreed with.

    And so like most of the generations in my cultura it was passed down by storytelling or secretly doing.

    This section is dedicated to all those things that we thought were lost.

How you can Improve overall wellness with ceremonial cacao

Remember, ceremonial cacao is a sacred plant medicine that has been used in spiritual rituals for centuries. As such, it's important to approach it with respect and reverence.

When preparing and consuming ceremonial cacao, make sure to follow proper protocols and traditions as best as you can. This means being mindful of the intention behind your use and treating the cacao as a medicine, rather than a simple snack.

It's also worth mentioning that not all cacao products are created equal. While chocolate made from cacao is delicious, it's not the same as ceremonial cacao, which is typically sourced directly from cacao growers and prepared in a way that preserves its medicinal properties.

So before jumping into using ceremonial cacao, do your research and make sure you're obtaining a high-quality product and using it with the proper respect for its heritage.

If you're interested in learning more about this powerful plant medicine and how you can use it to enhance your creativity, mental clarity, and overall well-being, feel free to book a FREE consultation.

I'm always happy to chat about all things cacao and to share more tips and resources to support your wellness journey.

Until then, remember to treat your ceremonial cacao with respect and to stay curious about the magic that surrounds us. And remember, a little bit of sass never hurt nobody!
