Cacao Connection ~ Connect with Cacao

Join Christine for an afternoon of Cacao and connection. Cacao is so much more than a delicious treat. It is seen as a great teacher that can awaken us to more heart-centered living, and enhance our inner connection with increased clarity. In this connection we will drink high quality organic fairtrade cacao from Guatemala. We will learn about the plant itself, how it has been used for thousands of years across Central and South America, the journey it has taken globally, and how to interact with cacao mindfully and respectfully. Christine will prepare and guide us through a meditation with our cacao, and offer insights into the benefits of this beautiful plant, as we connect with ourselves and one another, and close with a supportive sound bath.

Disclaimer: For most people Cacao is safe! However there are some contraindications to speak to your physician with. Chemically, it is a mild stimulant of a unique balance of caffeine and theobromine. Speak to your physician if you have a heart condition, are pregnant or breast-feeding, have epilepsy, or on anti-depressants, or any other medication, as Theobromine is a vasodilator, it increases the heart rate and can lower blood pressure. Speak with your doctor about a smaller serving of Cacao if these contraindications apply to you, as Cacao has about a 10th of the caffeine is found in coffee.

Please be mindful as to not mix St. John’s Wort with Cacao.

Ceremonial grade Cacao is a little more potent than cacao powder and cocoa, so please keep this in mind.
