My journey with ceremonial cacao began six years ago, after attending many community gathering with cacao I felt inspired to complete two cacao facilitation trainings to get the most in-depth and ethical education possible. I'm deeply committed to honoring this medicine's cultural heritage while creating sacred, respectful spaces for community healing. Unlike processed cacao powder, this pure ceremonial cacao retains its essential cacao butter, making it one of Earth's most nutritionally complete foods. Through mindfully facilitated cacao circles, I create supportive and empowering spaces for compassionate self-contemplation and authentic community connection.
This whole-form cacao delivers a powerful matrix of minerals (magnesium, iron, zinc), antioxidants, amino acids, and beneficial fatty acids that support whole-body wellness. The magic lies in theobromine, cacao's primary alkaloid. This gentle stimulant offers sustained energy without coffee's harsh peaks and crashes. Working synergistically with natural compounds like anandamide (the 'bliss molecule') and phenylethylamine (PEA), cacao enhances mood, focus, and creativity. These compounds boost serotonin and oxytocin production while supporting healthy neural pathways, helping manage daily stress and anxiety naturally.
