The scientific name for cacao is ‘Theobrama Cacao’, which translates to “food of the Gods”.
On a biological level, cacao is a superfood. When lovingly sourced and processed, it is rich in antioxidants, iron, magnesium, calcium, and mood boosting compounds like theobromine, tryptophan, and anandamide.
On a more esoteric level, her spirit is revered as a powerful feminine keeper of sacred wisdom.
This incredible plant ally has been used in ceremony for thousands of years, originating with the ancestors of Central America (the Olmec, Aztec, and Mayan people).
When we connect with mama cacao in ceremony from a place of presence, curiosity, and respect we are gifted the opportunity to open our hearts to a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.
Cacao can support our process of healing and integrating emotional blocks that stand in the way of our growth. She can help us lean into meditative states that allow us to access our inner wisdom and creativity.
Her gentle magic will always meet us where we are in our journey.
Cacao pairs beautifully with sound healing, and we are blessed to connect with her in ceremony alongside our beautiful community.
