Explore Ceremonial Cacao as a Living Elixir for Embodied Healing

This first module is an introduction to the plant considered to be of divine origin — known as “God’s food” by the Mayans and ultimately assigned the scientific name of Theobroma cacao, meaning “Foods of the Gods” in Greek.

Learn where cacao physically originated, why it was such an important part of the Mesoamerican traditions, and its current role in plant medicine.

Florencia will share a special “ dieta ” — the Indigenous tradition of a diet that supports the purity of the body — along with ways to connect with the plant to access its intelligence and receive teachings directly from the plant’s spirit.

Curated from almost a decade of working with ceremonial cacao and guiding others on their path with the plant, this suggested dieta focuses on what foods to include and avoid, as well as rituals and practices to implement while using ceremonial cacao.

It’s an invitation to receive the optimal experience of this course, but participation in the dieta is not a requirement in order to engage in and benefit from the course.

Florencia will provide guidance on how to make your cup of ceremonial cacao, accompanied by a reality creation meditation for gaining clarity about your personal intentions in this exploration with cacao — so you can build a relationship with the connected energies and implement their guidance during this time of collective evolution.

In this session, you’ll:

• Explore where cacao originated from — and how it arrived in Mesoamerica
• Discover why cacao was considered a sacred plant in Mesoamerica
• Consider the role of ceremonial cacao in modern society — and why it’s becoming more popular
