\"Ceremonial<\/h3>\n

Ceremonial cacao is my favorite daily ritual that helps me nourish both my physical and energetic body.<\/span><\/h3>\n

In this post, you\u2019ll learn everything you need to know about cacao, cacao benefits, cacao ceremony and how to make ceremonial cacao.<\/h4>\n

What is ceremonial cacao?<\/h2>\n

In short, ceremonial cacao is ethically grown and produced, pure cacao paste intentionally grown from heirloom strains of cacao. The key concepts here are intentionality and reciprocity \u2013 with the communities involved in the production process, the person consuming it, and the Earth herself. My understanding of and vision for the world of ceremonial cacao is a beautiful full circle that nourishes everyone involved, bean to cup.<\/h3>\n

In this post, I share everything I\u2019ve learned about ceremonial cacao so far.<\/h3>\n

    MY FIRST CACAO CEREMONY<\/h3>\n

    The first time I experienced cacao ceremony at the Yoga Barn in Bali \u2013 it made me feel so free and blissful in my body, that I wondered if there was anything else added to the cacao potion that contributed to what felt like an altered state. When I found out that there wasn\u2019t\u2026 I knew that there would be a lot more cacao in my life.<\/p>\n

    When sourced thoughtfully, prepared ceremonially and enjoyed with intention, cacao is a\u00a0potent energetic medicine that exists on a different plane than your regular chocolate bar (disclaimer: growing up, my favorite form of chocolate was Bounty). <\/span><\/p>\n

    As the ancient traditions of ceremonial cacao and cacao ceremony are becoming more popular in the urban jungle, more questions about cacao are coming up.<\/span><\/h4>\n

    I\u2019ll share my research that includes my personal experience with ceremonial cacao as well as conversations with cacao producers and ceremonialists.<\/strong>
    <\/span><\/h4>\n

    I\u2019ll also share the best ceremonial cacao to buy online<\/a><\/span>, and ceremonial cacao recipes.<\/h4>\n
