Create your own Sacred Cacao Ceremony at Home

Did you know that cacao ceremonies are a centuries-old ritual seen as the ultimate heart-opener? Cacao is packed full of vitamins and minerals and increases blood flow to the brain which helps to strengthen awareness and focus. It helps the body to heal, detoxify and to give your immune system a good boost. The experience of raw chocolate within a cacao ceremony can also assist in energetic healing and gaining clarity in the areas of love, purpose, intuitive abilities, career and personal growth.

The word ‘cacao’ originally comes from the Mayan words Ka’kau and Chokola’j — which means to drink chocolate together. Although the strongest effects of raw chocolate are experienced in group ceremonies, you can also experience it on your own with our handy little cacao ceremony guide.

Ceremonial cacao is a powerful tool to dive deeper into your soul, your most inner self. A warm sensation in your chest. Feeling softer, more present and loving. At Lovechock we believe that every plant has its spirit. For centuries, humans and nature lived together in harmony and saw plants as intelligent, alive beings and healers in their own right. We use raw chocolate as a way to reconnect with this ancient wisdom that’s becoming more and more part of our urban jungle. 

Experience the power and heart-opening effects of raw cacao by creating your own little cacao ceremony at home. Balance your energy and treat your spirit. Lovechock has teamed up with professional yoga teacher, inspiring blogger and co-founder of Hippie Retreats, Nathalie Kemna, to guide you through every step on the way. A unique experience to reconnect with the energetic space of your heart. Because opening the heart enables us to embrace who we truly are.
