Connecting with Cacao with Amy Schenck.

This class will focus on how to create a personal cacao practice.

Did you know that the energy and intention we bring to the preparation of our cacao gets infused into it? That’s why it’s so important to come from a place of understanding and respect when connecting with cacao.

In this class you will learn about a brief history of cacao, why cacao is so important, what it has to offer physically and spiritually, how to prepare ceremonial cacao, how to create a practice for yourself and loved ones, and how to integrate the healing. We will close by enjoying a full cacao ceremony together.

What is cacao?

Cacao is the main ingredient in chocolate, yet so much more. It is a healing plant medicine. Cacao is a wise messenger and heart healer. It is often prepared as a healthy and uplifting warm drink. Cacao allows you to feel calm, euphoric, alert, blissful, grounded, safe, loved and loving.

How to prepare for class:

Please bring items to create your own small altar or sacred space to honor cacao. Feel free to be creative and express yourself. Some suggestions are a small altar cloth, crystals, rocks, feathers, flowers or anything from nature that resonates with you, photos, poetry, artwork or items from your ancestry. Please also bring a journal/pen and water.
