For the indigenous tribes of South and Central America cacao represents the blood of the ancestors and is a sacred plant that opens the heart and awakens the spirit. In a traditional cacao ceremony the cacao is harvested and prepared with pure intention and reverence. Each step has a meaning and significance and specific tools are used to represent each of the elements. The final goal of the ceremony is to create Ka-Ka-Wa - meaning the combination of masculine energy with feminine energy and spirit for the intention of bringing new life and spiritual re-birthing.

These practices date back over 7500 years and can be traced to the origin of cacao in Jaen, Peru and the temple of Monte Grande. Tribes from both South and Central America continue these traditions in the modern day cacao ceremonies and see cacao as being an integral tool to awakening the spirit for re-birth and change. This ceremony we would consider today to be a type of embodiment practice that focuses on neuroplastic change, creating new neural pathways, behaviours and ways of seeing the world.
