Ceremonial Cacao
Ceremonial cacao plays a central role in cacao ceremonies, where it is valued for its ability to open hearts and enlighten the mind. During these rituals, cacao is consumed to establish a deep spiritual connection. Ceremonial cacao beans are perfect for this purpose due to their rich, pure quality and the ancient wisdom they embody. These beans are infused with spiritual energy, making each ceremony an authentic and powerful experience.
Usage for Ceremonies
Raw cacao can be consumed directly, but don’t expect it to taste like a chunk of pure chocolate. The taste is bitter and strong.
- Cut the Kakaw Heart into small pieces to make it easier to dissolve and mix into a heartwarming drink.
- Mix with hot water or plant-based milk, about 125 ml per drink. 70°C is warm enough to melt the cacao and is a pleasant drinking temperature.
- Mix into a frothy drink with bubbles to enhance the delicious aroma. You can use a frother, blender, or shaker.
- Light dose: 20 grams for beginners or sensitive users
- Standard dose: 30-40 grams for a deeper experience
- Strong dose: 40 grams or more for more intense ceremonies
Cacao Ceremony for Beginners
- Create a sacred space: Cleanse your environment with sage, Palo Santo, or incense.
- Form a circle: Invite participants to sit in a circle and distribute the cacao drink.
- Set intentions: While everyone holds the cacao drink, encourage each other to blow your intentions into the cacao and 'activate' it with personal prayers or wishes.
- Drink the cacao: Drink the cacao together. Take the time to feel the taste, warmth, and energy of the cacao.
- Activities: Continue the ceremony with meditation, singing, dancing, drumming, or other activities to connect the group and deepen the intentions.
