Cacao
Cacao belongs to a family of plant medicines that originate from Central and South America. It has been used by different traditions for millennia due to its life-enhancing properties. It is my belief that plant medicine chooses to leave its native land when humanity becomes disconnected from the Earth, the medicine does this to bring about transformation and healing individually, so we can share this with the people around us and return to being of service to Mother Gaia. Collectively, one heart at a time, humanity will rise and awaken.
Order NowAbout KIND Cacao The Cacao I am sharing with you is sustainable and respectfully sourced from the Peruvian Andes, through a friend and mentor who works closely with a farmer's co-operative. This community cultivates an ancient strain of the tree using permaculture principles for a very unique, smooth, rich and creamy texture, unlike any other types of cacao I have tired.
This is the Cacao I have been using in my personal life and ceremonies for the past 4 years. It has transformed my life in mysterious and beautiful ways for which I will be forever grateful. It has also held the powerful work we have done together in KIND ceremony and retreats.
