When engaged with in ceremony, they help us open our hearts and minds, guiding us to explore and manifest the peaceful, loving life and world we came here to co-create.This ancient tree serves as a bridge between Mind, Heart, and Womb/Stomach, uniting our inner realms. Cacao is also seen as the return of the goddess Venus/Sekhmet—the embodiment of Love—whose purpose is to harmonize the shadow and the conscious aspects of oneself, supporting the creation of a kinder world.This Cacao Activation will be an embodied journey —an exploration into the depth of our human experience. We will connect with the spirit of Cacao as a sacred plant ally, with the invitation to deepening our connection to ourselves and to each other. We recommend avoiding caffeine intakeon the day and timing your meals so that you are not too full. You can see this as an offering of respect to the Spirit of Cacao. This practice will also help your body assimilate Cacao more easily and attune to the subtle energy cues they share.If you are pregnant (from the second trimester onward) or taking SSRIs, please let us know and consult with your doctor.
