Christmas special: ceremonial cacao Mama Amor, Guatemala

The time of gifting, how do we do it in a conscious way?

We thought about a Christmas special and decided on ceremonial cacao. Now is really the time for the hearts of people to open. For people to return to ceremony, for people to return to love. 

Mama Amor is managed by the women's collective Nuevo Amanecer. The collective supports women from the community with professional activity. 

The whole process is done by hand. The tending of the trees, the harvest, the fermentation is done by leaving the seeds in a basket with banana leafs for 5 days, roasted on fire and grinded the old fashioned way. The amount of love that is poured into this Cacao is something you feel when you sit with this gentle plant medicine.

The story goes that Cacao crawled out of the Amazon to harmonize us. It might just be the most perfect gift, for yourself or others. 

One block is 454 grams.
