Discover Healing with Cacao

Cacao is a sacred plant medicine made from the raw beans of the cacao tree. Far beyond chocolate, ceremonial-grade cacao is minimally processed to preserve its medicinal and energetic properties. Used for thousands of years by Mesoamerican cultures, cacao was revered as the "Food of the Gods"—a heart-opening medicine that brings us closer to our soul’s truth.

Cacao is the medicine of the heart. She teaches us how to soften. To feel again. To listen.

She is not here to take you away from yourself—she is here to bring you back. Through working with cacao, many have reconnected with inner peace, ancestral wisdom, emotional release, and soul remembrance. 

Cacao is a gentle yet profound heart medicine. Sitting with cacao in ceremony can support:

• Emotional healing and inner clarity
• Deepened meditation, prayer, and creative flow
• Energetic alignment and heart-opening connection
• Grounding and integration after plant medicine journeys

Whether you're navigating a transition, seeking clarity, or simply longing to return to your own inner wisdom—cacao offers a tender embrace and an invitation to come home to yourself.

At Samahdi, our cacao ceremonies are inspired by the traditional healing practices of the Mayan people—keepers of this sacred plant spirit for generations. Each ceremony is held in a protected ceremonial container where every element—from the way the cacao is prepared to the music, prayer, silence, and energy of the space—is intentional and infused with reverence.

This is sacred work. A place for emotional, energetic, and spiritual healing. Each ceremony is attuned to the unique energies of those who sit in circle—no two journeys are ever the same. We work in partnership with the spirit of cacao, a loving, intelligent plant teacher. Cacao is a bridge between worlds—she helps us soften the walls around the heart, connect with the Earth, and hear the whispers of the soul. She teaches with grace, presence, and truth.

Every ceremony is an invitation into profound inner work. We begin by calling in the four directions, the elements, the ancestors, and spirit allies to support the circle. We honor cacao as a sacred teacher, offering her with prayer and deep intention.Participants are guided to set clear, heart-centered intentions—this is the foundation of the journey.

This is a space of deep listening, sacred respect, and inner honesty—toward yourself, toward others in the circle, and toward the medicine.

Cacao will meet you where you are—but she asks for your full presence.

At Samahdi, we are deeply committed to maintaining the integrity, lineage, and sacredness of this heart medicine. That’s why we exclusively serve Keith’s Cacao—one of the most trusted and energetically aligned ceremonial-grade cacaos in the world.

Sourced from indigenous Mayan communities in Guatemala, Keith’s Cacao is sun-dried, hand-peeled, and minimally processed to preserve its full spiritual, energetic, and biochemical potency. It is cacao in its purest form—untainted by industrial processing, sweeteners, or additives.

We honor and acknowledge the ancestral stewards of this medicine. Our ceremonies are not modern adaptations, but deep bowings to the roots of this tradition. We walk in gratitude for those who came before us, for the land that grows this sacred plant, and for the spirit of cacao herself—a wise, ancient teacher who asks to be met with humility and respect.

By working with Keith’s Cacao, we ensure:

• Consistency in purity, potency, and spiritual alignment
• Ethical sourcing that uplifts indigenous communities and supports sustainable farming.
