Lovingly known in the Andes as Maestra Ixcacao meaning ‘Cacao teacher’.

Ceremonial Cacao is a potent medicine of the heart, revered in the Andes since Mayan times. Ceremonial Cacao is culturally and spiritually significant and was woven through ceremony and ritual practises of all kinds.

Ceremonial Cacao differs from the cacao that we know in the west in that it is not processed in the same way.

Work consciously with this beautiful medicinal chocolate by weaving a living prayer as you prepare it. You will see magic unfold, not just within yourself, but in your life.

You can simply enjoy its deliciousness, but it has so much more to offer you. Wherever her spirit journeys within you, it is always to support you to expand into the fullness of your heart. A potent and magical way to start the gift that is each new day.

I am honoured to be able to offer this organic, fair trade Ceremonial Cacao from Peru.This sacred chocolate comes with instructions on how to prepare and work with this sacred medicine.

Because of the handmade nature of this ceremonial Chakana cup, each piece is unique. A true moment in time. Made from local clay in Dehua, the clay capital of China.

When designing this cup, we took the time to research the ancient Peruvian style of ceramics and so have delivered something reflective of the signature style from times gone by. It is our way of honouring this lineage. We believe by connecting with the past in this way, a past where the fabric of the community was rich with spiritual meaning and devotion to ‘great mystery’ it will awaken the dormant cellular codes within you. Allowing you to re-member the sacredness of your life and all life and to walk in a way that reflects this sacred nature.

This cup not only looks beautiful, but cups into the hand in a way that feels like it is an extension of them. You get a sense that something special is about to take place just by holding this cup. This means before you even begin to drop inwards the magic has started to happen. Filling this cup with our sacred chocolate, opens up the heart and moves into a state of expansion.

We have chosen to place the symbol of the Chakana on this ceremonial cup because it is a very sacred symbol in the Andes the home place of this sacred chocolate and the two are deeply linked. The Chanana may look like a simple symbol, but it is in fact complex and deep. It acts as a portal, an alter and a map for navigating both the inner world and the physical world, allowing us to know exactly where we are in time and space at all times.
