An invitation to


live with passion,


presence and love


strong hit or rush. Oh no, cacao is soft
and velvety, she envelopes your heart,
caressing its petals and enticing them
open. The heart chakra, like a rose,
opens unconditionally and cacao the
enchantress supports, guides, holds
and loves you to the next level of
your evolution.
She shows the way to more love,
deepening your understanding of
yourself, the world, and your place in it.
You are guided by the ceremony teacher
on deep journeys through your soul,
going ever further into the depths of
your being. It is pure bliss.

On a high
You leave the ceremony on the most
beautiful and 100% natural high. Arriving
home you share the expansiveness with
your family, just by being in this elevated
state. No words are needed, this is
something that is felt and witnessed. And
there is no hangover, no comedown –
and an opportunity for you to recreate
what you have experienced without
the cacao, for she is guiding you and
showing you how to do this. Cacao is
a wonderfully gentle teacher; she may
become a dear friend too as a lifelong
relationship blossoms.
Unlike high street chocolate bars
gulped down in a flash, the cacao
experience is an altogether more mindful
and nurturing one. There is no guilt with
ceremonial grade cacao; this surely is
next level stuff, and once you connect
with her there is no going back to the
chocolate on the supermarket shelf –
lifeless after being highly processed,
ruined with unhealthy ingredients,
stripped of all nutrients.
This is where you belong. Jump at the
chance of attending a cacao ceremony
this Valentine’s if you get the chance,
for if you do, you’ll be upgraded for
sure. This February enjoy good quality
chocolate all month without a hint of
blame or shame – for you can have
your chocolate and eat it!

N


ow you can have your
chocolate and eat it!
If you call yourself a
chocoholic, the chances
are you are actually
a sugar addict – that is, if you are
consuming mainstream chocolate
bars from the supermarket. Even if you
frequent your local health food store
you’ll probably be receiving only up to
around 80% of the potential goodies
chocolate has to offer. Consuming
‘ceremonial grade’ cacao, however, will
give you the full monty when it comes
to health benefits – and lift-off for your
love life too.
In fact, there is a bit of a chocolate
revolution going on right now, with yoga
and this delicious substance – raw cacao


  • joining hands and coaxing you into a
    deeper experience of your practice than
    ever before. And you can have it all with
    the highest grade ceremonial cacao.
    As your blood pressure lowers and
    your heart rate slightly quickens, you are
    now in the perfect state for both physical
    exercise and meditation. Your capillaries
    have dilated, there is more oxygen flowing
    around your whole body and you are alert
    to every single sensation in your body.


The cacao ceremony
The cacao ceremony is cropping up in
towns and cities all over the land, but
what exactly does it look like and why
should you attend one?
Typically, you’ll be passed a cup of
warm cacao which will have been made
most likely from a nut milk, as animal
milk inhibits the uptake of the active
compound, theobromine, in the body.
Some like it dashed with a hint of orange
essence or mint, while others favour
vanilla or honey. However, cayenne
acts as a jet rocket to fuel this plant
medicine straight into your system, and
around 30 minutes later you will begin
to feel yourself opening up.
It’s subtle, not like recreational
drugs which might give you a
