Winter is the season to rest, surrender and dive inside… The winter solstice celebrates after the longest hours of darkness, the rebirth of the sun and is believed to hold powerful energy for self-reflection, release, rebirth🌀

Let's set on a transformational journey inside and resonate together with the transforming healing frequencies and the soft, compassionate energy of cacao on this special day. Surrender in your darkness and welcome your light!

We'll set off on an inner journey guided by healing sounds and raw cacao, a sacred element used in ceremonies in South America for thousands of years. Cacao supports us in connecting with our inner guidance, while the vibrations of healing sounds take us to deeper levels. In this sacred space, the unseen becomes visible, and the unheard becomes audible.

During the ceremony, you can free yourself from burdens, release negative emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and thinking patterns that no longer serve you. As you receive healing at a cellular level within the magical vibrational field of sacred sound, cacao works especially on the blockages of the heart, creating a space to connect with your inner self, truth, divine light, all in love and gratitude.

HISTORY OF CACAO

With its 4000 years of history, it is an ancient plant used in important ceremonies in Central and South America. The Mayans mix the ground cacao beans with water and pour it from one vessel to another to consume it as a thick foamy ceremonial drink which is called “ka’kau”, chokola”. In Latin, the cacao tree is called Theobroma cacao, which means “Food of the Gods”.

WHAT IS CEREMONIAL CACAO?

Ceremonial cacao is 100% raw cacao that has not lost its benefits and nutritional value, unlike processed cacao. For this reason, it is accepted as a “superfood” which is an important supplement food supporting our physical, emotional, and mental health.

In addition, ceremonial cacao is holistic which means from the cultivation to the moment we receive it there is a collaboration of intention, demonstrating respect for the cacao trees and the ecosystem which protects the pure form of cacao and honors every step including fair trade. The purity of this ancient plant with its wisdom allows us to experience the quality of our journey at the highest level in body, mind, and spirit.
