Cacao Information and Preparation for Ceremonial and Personal Use
This cacao is so delicious! You can nibble a little at a time, shave some into your fruit and nut breakfast, put a little in your smoothie, or chop it up finely and, with hot water, make it into a delicious cacao beverage (better than coffee in the morning!).
Below I am sharing some information from to outline some suggestions for preparing a ceremonial drink as well as some important contraindications and awareness about this potent plant medicine.
I trust in you to know your body and suggest listening to that knowing and starting out with just a little bit of this cacao at first to see how it feels before you ingest a lot of it. It is a beautiful tasting and heart opening chocolate that I know you will really enjoy!

The Cacao Spirits have spoken! In 2009, I found myself attending an all night fire ceremony on a magical piece of land in Western Massachusetts. On that evening my life changed for ever. My friends Ambe and Moses, now known as Heartblood Cacao, offered us a delicious cacao drink made from ceremonial cacao from Guatemala as a way to begin our transition into sacred space and support us in accessing deeper states of consciousness, presence, and lots of good energy to carry us into the night and towards the sunrise. I was amazed at how good I felt and that this feeling of heart opening presence came from drinking chocolate! I was hooked!
Fast forward two years later, in 2011 I found myself living in and exploring Central America which included a stay at the village of San Marcos in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. This is the home of Keith Wilson, a.k.a. The Cacao Shaman, who is so generous in his knowledge and sharing of cacao for the good of all beings everywhere. Keith is filled with wonderful stories about cacao and how the Cacao Spirit had guided him to Guatemala to help bring back this sacred plant medicine that he considers to be "food for the shift". And shifting we are towards the awareness that we are all one global human family connected with all life, everywhere. "The force that guides the stars, guides you too."
