More About Cacao:
Ceremonial Cacao is a plant medicine that allows a deep honouring of self, nurturing, healing, creation, celebration and activation.
Sitting in ceremony, held by facilitator, Ash Bell, is all about honouring yourself deeply and allowing all parts of yourself to be seen and just be. Ceremonial Cacao supports you to connect on a deeper level, bring clarity and expand the wisdom in your heart whilst offering strength and holding.
Why cacao?
Cacao in ceremony has been used for thousands of years by the Aztecs, Mayans and Olmecs, as a food for the gods in rituals, royal feasts and so valuable and rare that is was also used as currency and worth more than gold.
Drinking rare Hawaiian cacao
In these ceremonies, we use only Hawaiian Ceremonial Cacao (Cuatro Manos y Cinco Volcanes). Why? Because Hawaiian cacao is the rarest and costliest cacao in the world. Liquid gold, made from cacao paste, not powder. Grown on the foothills of the mountain of Mauna Kea (the most sacred mountain in Hawaii) on the Hamakua Coast, known as the Breath of God. This cacao is rich in volcanic energy, the lifeblood of mother earth, creating powerful energy for manifestation, new beginnings and setting new intentions.
This cacao is also rare and unique as no child labour, harvest workers are paid USA living wages, all sustainably made, single origin, fewer plantings, hand harvested, hand winnowed, tree to disc and all proceeds support the land and indigenous run business and teachings.
