Sacred Cacao Ceremony around the Fire and under the Full Moon
Chocolate is chocolate, right? Not when it is ceremonial grade cacao. The cacao we use comes from wild Criollo trees grown and processed without any chemicals and are hand-prepared by indigenous Mayan people in the Lago de Atitlan region of Guatemala.

Ceremony held at Sacred Roots Herbal Sanctuary around the Fire
If you wish, bring a Sacred Object for the altar. Thank you

Cacao Medicine, also known as the "Food of the Gods, is a facilitator and will invite you rather than push you on a spiritual journey. Cacao is the Food for the Shift!!!
Cacao (chocolate in its purest form) is a plant medicine that has been used by the Mayans for centuries both by the Shamans and people in their everyday lives. An Indigenous Mayan myth tells us that whenever the balance between humans and nature becomes threatened, Cacao comes out from the rainforest to open peoples hearts and return the planet to a state of harmony.
The cacao we use comes from wild Criollo trees and has a high vibration and a spiritual potency that you can experience with each cup. Cacao is a superfood with nutritional and medicinal value, and over 300 nutrients. One of its main active ingredients is Theobromine, which literally translates as God-Food, and facilitates the release of dopamine, the pleasure hormone. Cacao supports memory, immunity, heart health and helps relieve stress and depression. It contains the highest concentration of antioxidants of any food on the planet.
Each ceremony is held in Oneness Consciousness and is offered with Gratitude for the Medicine. We tune in before each event and listen to what wants to come forth. It may include meditation, chanting, guided soul journey, movement, sharing circle and more. Cacao is a facilitator and will invite you rather than push you on a spiritual journey. www.stellarconnections.us

Cacao is also one of the best super foods on Earth.Cacao is rich in magnesium, iron, zinc, calcium, chromium, manganese, sulphur, copper and phosphorous. Cacao has therapeutic levels of brain chemicals and neurotransmitters that positively affect mood, memory, appetite, pain perception, feelings of well-being, rejuvenation, attraction and euphoria such as Anandamide (known as the bliss chemical), Serotonin (acts as an anti-depressant, promotes a sense of wellbeing, and enhances your libido), Endorphins (which produce a pleasurable sensation similar to that of an exercise high), and Phenylethylamine (often called the love chemical), among others. Cacao contains over 300 different compounds some of which are still being researched.
