Cacao Love
For those of you that know me I am a big advocate for Cacao. This beautiful gentle plant medicine helps us to open our hearts and learn to come from a place of love, compassion and gratitude.
I have been working with Mama Cacao for 3 years. I have found her to be a beautiful supporter for journaling, journeying, during menstruation, connecting with others, an alternative to alcohol and caffeinated tea, she has taught me to become even more in Agni with mother earth. I have found she has the ability to hold me gently but give me the push I need. Since sharing in sacred space I have found her to be a profound tool in helping others to connect to themselves and others.
What is Ceremonial Cacao?
Cacao grows in many countries around the world. The Cacao that is currently being used in my ceremonies is from Peru. It grows on small farms and each Cacao tree is blessed and prayed over during its growing and harvesting period often by families. The Cacao is organic and has minimal processing. It is important when connecting with the spirit of Cacao to honour and give gratitude the Cacao trees and the people that have tended and processed the cacao. It is crucial when purchasing Cacao to buy from reputable companies that work with the farmers to offer fair pay and to ensure it is a sustainable and ethical enterprise.
How does it affect you?
You have most likely been eating chocolate all your life and enjoying the sensation of eating it. Cacao is similar in that it will make you feel good, but on a whole other level as there is no dairy and sugar involved. Pure Ceremonial Cacao has many health and wellbeing benefits such as it is a relaxant and energising at the same time. She is the ultimate heart opener as she will deeply and profoundly connect you to your heart, this pure place of love, gratitude and joy.
What is a Cacao Ceremony?
A Cacao ceremony can be whatever you want it to be. Cacao has been revered in Mayan culture for 1000's of years and used in many ceremonial practices as well as bringing tribes and communities together. Cacao Ceremonies are becoming more common in Western World as Mama Cacao comes to help us find balance and harmony in our lives.
The ceremonies I hold space for are about bringing people together. To share, to connect and reflect. We will often have singing, journeying, drumming and movement. Cacao is for everyone. I strongly believe that Cacao needs to be honoured and respected as a plant medicine. The circles I hold are in Sacred space.
Would you like to join me in Ceremony?
Cacao Circles will be starting soon in Cockermouth and Eaglesfield. Please contact me if you are interested. I also am happy to offer 1:1 as part of your personal journey or small group sharing or special occasions. Just let me know and we can make it work. I feel very blessed to have trained with two teachers from different lineages and have ongoing mentorship. Like yoga I am always learning, growing, exploring and happy to share.
