Why raw cacao?
Centuries ago, the Maya’s made a powerful magical drink from raw cacao. The word cacao comes from the Maya word Ka’kau n Chokola’j which means drinking chocolate together. Indigenous tribes have connected to cacao for thousands of years through rituals and ceremonies to communicate with our inner wisdom, activating energy within and around us in the world. Cacao is the ultimate heart opener to be able to ground and to completely just BE.
The effect of cacao has been rediscovered and is now seen as a super food. Raw cacao is packed with vitamins, minerals and increases blood flow. It can help your body heal, detoxify and give a huge boost to the immune system. In addition, cacao provides a euphoric feeling. This is due to the substance serotonin, also known as the happiness hormone. Raw cacao also contains tryptophan, which naturally improves your mood, reduces stress and helps to relax. There is also phenylethylamine, a body’s own substance that can give the feeling of love and being in love. It also contains magnesium, which gives a boost to your muscles and the transmission of nerve impulses. In addition to raw cacao, it also contains herbs such as pure cayenne pepper that allow the cacao to do its job even better. In short, a super powerful cup full of love and a lot of health benefits!
The cacao used during the ceremonies I organize originates from Peru from my friend Nathalie her personal brand Kakalina Kakao. Personally, I find it very important to know where the cacao comes from. I would like to know if everything is really pure and honest. The intention already starts in the cultivation of the cocoa: in the growth, picking, grinding, packaging and the journey to the Netherlands. The reason I wish to know where the cacao comes from is because I feel which spirit is desired at which ceremony. Cacao has a spirit and its own taste and should be treated with respect. It is an honor to work with this wonderful magical medicine.

I am more open with a heart full of love to receive and give. I can’t wait for the next ceremony. Thank you! Namaste
Frequently asked questions
Everything you still want to know about cacao
What is the difference between raw cacao (for ceremonies) and cacao powder from the supermarket?
The cacao used in the ceremony is from Kakalina Kakao and is kept in it’s purest form for a powerful effect. The powder in the store is processed so that it is easy to dissolve. To make cacao powder it must be separated from the cacao butter, this is done under high hydraulic pressure. The residues that then remain are finely ground into the cacao powder, which is therefore less powerful.
Can you drink cacao daily?
Cacao is safe to drink daily, always listen to your body to feel what suits you best. The effects of cacao can be quite subtle and have a longer lasting effect.
Does raw cacao have side effects / medication?
Cacao can have a slightly drying effect because it has a detoxifying effect. Drinking water is therefore super important! In addition, a higher dose can be heavy on the stomach. It can be nice not to eat too heavily beforehand. Listen carefully to your own body in this. However, it is important if you use antidepressants or other medication types like this to consult with the doctor in advance because of the the cacao may have a contraindication. It is also important to take into account that cacao makes your heart beat faster, so if you have heart problems, we also advise you to consult with your doctor. This will be asked again before the ceremony starts, it is your responsibility to share honestly so that we can all be safe during the ceremony.
Can children also drink cacao?
Yes, but in a smaller dose. A child is smaller than an adult. A child will also like it better with more plant based milk and this also softens and relieves the effect of the cacao. Feeling is important, both the child and the parent. In addition, if your child has health problems, we recommend that you always consult your doctor if you have specific questions about this.
Can you drink cacao while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Cacao contains caffeine and theobromine to a small extent, which provides a stimulating effect. It is advised to consume a smaller dose of cacao during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The cacao has many benefits that you can benefit from as a pregnant woman or a woman who has just given birth. It gives extra strength and positive energy. We recommend that you always consult your doctor if you have specific questions about this.
What outfit to wear during a ceremony?
What you feel comfortable and comfortable in. Always nice to bring a sweater or nice socks if you get cold quickly. Sometimes you lie still for a while and then you can cool down. It is important that you can relax completely, so you should adjust your outfit choice accordingly.
