As one of the most popular gifts on Valentine’s Day, chocolate has been associated with love for generations. Though its connection with the heart dates back thousands of years, long before industrialized chocolate entered the cacao farming arena. 

There are some key differences between ceremonial grade cacao and industrial cacao.

True Ceremonial-grade Cacao is a heart-opening medicine, which pairs beautifully with inner work, creativity, study, meditation, journaling, dance, strengthening movement, and all forms of expression. In Ancient Civilizations, Cacao was instrumental during conflict resolution, as tribal leaders would invite the medicine to cultivate empathy and facilitate diplomacy.  And now, Native Heirloom Cacao is in the process of extending her branches from the jungles of Central and South America and offering her fruits to the hearts of people all over the world. 

As Cacao grows in popularity, it’s becoming increasingly important to connect with her roots. 

And that’s what I hope to inspire during our  Cacao Circles.
