A Cacao Ceremonie

During our cacao ceremonies, we embark on a magical journey to inner peace and self-discovery. These ceremonies embrace the warmth of cacao and the power of intention, aiming to connect you more deeply with yourself and the wisdom in your heart.

In silence, we begin with meditation, carefully setting our intentions. The cacao guides us on this journey, a sacred elixir that aids in relaxation and introspection. As we sip the cacao, we allow its flavor and energy to permeate us, opening ourselves to its healing power. Sounds, music, and guidance enhance our meditation, and we encourage you to listen to the voice of your heart as you unwind.

At times, cacao becomes a source of insight, and meditation reveals what resides deep within you. Record these insights, cherish them, and reflect on the lessons they offer.

Cacao ceremonies provide not only relaxation and meditation but also the opportunity to explore your inner wisdom. In a loving, safe environment, we invite you to connect with your inner wellspring of insight and intuition.

Whether you come alone or with others, we hope that you'll experience the magical healing power of cacao and leave with a deeper understanding of yourself and the treasures in your heart. We look forward to embarking on this beautiful journey together with you.

The Latin name for the cacao tree is Theobroma cacao. "Theo" means "God," and "Broma" means "food" or "nourishment." Cacao has been revered as the food of the Gods since ancient times, particularly by the Mayans. While we all recognize cacao as the raw material for chocolate, there is a significant distinction between the chocolate found in supermarkets and ceremonial cacao.

The ceremonial cacao we work with is sourced from an organic farmer's cooperative that employs sustainable, natural, and organic practices. The beans are of high quality, which is essential because nothing is added to ceremonial cacao. The cacao remains intact.

The beans are roasted at low temperatures, preserving the nutrients and health benefits of cacao. The ceremonial cacao used is 100% traceable, so we know exactly where it comes from.

In contrast, the chocolate used in the mass chocolate industry is made from bulk cacao, which means the cacao comes from various plantations. The cacao is blended in a container to achieve a consistent flavor. This is necessary because each cacao has a different taste.

The cacao beans are of lower quality. The fats are separated from the solids. *The cacao mass is separated from the cacao butter and eventually recombined. The mass (35% for dark chocolate and 25% for milk chocolate) is supplemented with sugar, milk powder, soy lecithin, flavors, and cacao butter. Due to these additives, the quality of the bean is not the highest priority for major chocolate brands, which is why their focus is on achieving a consistent flavor.

Almost all supermarket chocolate is made with cacao that has been processed at high temperatures.
The effect of heating cacao at high temperatures is that it changes the molecular structure, reducing the overall nutritional value and losing the health benefits of cacao.

*By grinding the roasted cacao, the fat inside the bean is released, leaving a liquid substance. This is called cacao mass. This cacao mass can be used as part of chocolate production. Cacao mass is also used to produce other products such as cacao butter and cocoa powder.
