Ceremonial Grade Cacao
Ceremonial grade cacao is 100% pure cacao, made from quality beans that are carefully grown, fermented and prepared. Ours is raw and unroasted. Heavy processing, high heat and added dairy or sugar all change the character of cacao.
What makes ours different:
- 100% pure cacao, raw and unroasted
- Nothing added: no sugar, gluten, dairy, E-numbers or flavourings
- Vegan, ethically sourced and sustainably produced
- Naturally contains theobromine and a little caffeine, so many people use it as a gentler alternative to coffee
- Naturally rich and sweet, and delicious on its own
- Many people in our ceremonies describe feeling more open, focused and creative
Nothing is added to standardise the taste, so each harvest has its own character. Our cacao is raw and unroasted. The beans are fermented to different degrees depending on the individual farmer, and in some harvests that fermented note is more noticeable than others. Once it reaches us in the UK, the flavour stays stable.
The only deterioration that can happen is if the cacao gets damp and the oils turn rancid. This is immediately noticeable and wouldn’t be confused with fermentation.
You can keep it in the eco-bag it comes in as long as you keep it sealed. However, cacao loves being treated with respect and honoured as the medicine it is.
We keep ours in glass containers with crystals and rose petals around it. We also keep some on our altar.
Best before two years from packing. Store it sealed in a cool, dry place.
Yes, as long as you remain conscious with it and it doesn’t become a habit, or you feel dependent on it. There may be periods of time when you feel called to work with it every day, this is when you are building a relationship with it, and how to work with it in your life. Once established, you may then find you only want it once a week or month. Really you have the answer to this question, keep asking yourself your reason why, and you’ll know whether it is too much or not.
Cacao can be harmful to some animals and may not be suitable for everyone. Cacao contains naturally occurring compounds such as theobromine and caffeine, which can be toxic to dogs, parrots and horses.
If you take prescription medication, particularly antidepressants or other medicines that affect serotonin or blood pressure, speak with your doctor or pharmacist before consuming cacao. If you have a medical condition or are unsure whether cacao is suitable for you, please seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
If you experience any concerning symptoms after consuming cacao, stop using it and seek appropriate medical advice.

CACAO CEREMONIES
Yes, we design ceremonies for yoga retreats, hen do’s, weddings, reunions, business launches, celebrations and festivals.
Cacao ceremonies are also healing containers to honour endings in their many forms. Contact us for more information.
Yes, absolutely. We use a wide variety of tools and practices, cacao is one. If you want to join a cacao ceremony or retreat without cacao, contact us about your concerns and we will talk you through alternative options.
No. We sometimes offer women-only retreats and ceremonies as there is an added level of connection and healing available in these circles. Sometimes we focus on balancing the masculine and feminine energies internally, we all have these no matter our gender. Where possible our work is fully inclusive, as most of our clients are women this is where we place my focus but we flex to whoever attends the events. We work with male clients, trans and non-binary.
General
"Believe this if you want: on the December Solstice 2020, I had an extraordinary three days where my guides/higher self/Buddhahood started speaking to me with a megaphone, rather than intuitive whispers which was the usual modus of operandum. They advised me on all details of how I was to help moving forward, including the website designer I should use, how the logo should look and why, and what I should be called. The name was corroborated when I randomly ended up talking to a medium on a livestream on Facebook who began channelling my Mum. I decided to follow the advice."

We believe we heal ourselves and the root cause of all suffering stems from a lack of self love. Sometimes we have to learn a lot of lessons, frequently the hard way, before we are ready to face that. We can use many tools and energies which allow us profound insights, but to actually make the internal shift, we need only our self. To get to a place where we feel safe, empowered and wanting to take responsibility for our own lives, we can help. But the healing is down to you.
A being of immense compassion who has already attained enlightenment, but made a vow to return to earth in the midst of suffering to help all people attain the same transformation. And, they emerged dancing!
If you have found yourself growing through immense suffering and challenges in childhood and life, and you couldn’t understand why it was happening to you but have a fire in your belly to transform it and use the experiences to help others, this could be you.
