Join Mayan ceremonialist Izaias Mendoza on Sunday, July 12, for a virtual cacao ceremony.

From Izaias: “Our Cacao ceremonies are attuned with the energies of each day according with the Mayan calendar, use the tools that every energy offers which is many of them to guide each person or group. This helps us to access deeper emotions and connects us with our roots taking us back to our Mother Earth. We use the energies of fire, air, water, earth, sun, clouds, mountain and animals.”

If you need cacao, order Lavalove ceremonial cacao made by Izaias himself by 12pm Pacific time on Monday, July 6, so you have it in time for the ceremony.

SOUL LIFT CACAO SHARING CIRCLES

Join the Soul Lift Cacao team for a cacao ritual and sharing circle through the magic of online video.

You’ll be amazed how much positive shift and connection can come in a virtual gathering. Everyone makes a cup of cacao at home before tuning in.

~~~~~

Cacao is the natural, unprocessed form of chocolate grown in tropical regions around the world. Most people know cacao as a superfood. It has possibly the highest amount of antioxidants of any food. Cacao contains beneficial minerals like iron and magnesium. And the main active compound, theobromine, gives a boost of energy without the crash or cravings that come from caffeine (which is actually very sparse in this type of cacao).

Yet cacao also has another aspect not spoken about in health food stores. Legends tell of ancient Mesoamerican civilizations using cacao for introspective and celebratory purposes, calling it the “Food of the Gods” and even trading it like currency. This more mysterious "plant medicine" side of cacao offers the potential to put you more in touch with your body and your soul.
