the story
It all started with my first cup of cacao . . . this part doesn’t go like you think. I could barely gag it down. It was thick and chalky and felt like swallowing sludge. I had to focus solely on the health benefits of cacao to down that cup.
I had been hosting many events and was looking for a way to deepen and enhance the experience of my attendees. I knew cacao could provide deeper meditation, deeper feeling, and a deeper overall connection with its heart-opening properties.
I’d been creating and drinking my own concoction of vegetables, minerals and protein every morning for years, so decided to tackle this in the same way through trial and error. I challenged myself to create a blend of cacao that would provide the same heath benefits with a more palatable experience.
It took some time and a lot of learning, but eventually I landed on a pretty solid base—my OG cacao—which is now the Brain Blend.
I began making small batches for my events, the first one being my REVERB Sensory Sound Ceremony. To my wonderment, so many people commented on how much they loved the cacao and asked how they could get it for themselves. Event subsequent event, people continued to ask where they could purchase their own bags. I was just happy to have something they enjoyed for the events, but still had no idea how much and how fast it would evolve.
I served the Brain Blend at a retreat with some people from out of town and one woman loved it so much that she wanted to take some bags home with her. It was really that moment when I I realized what was happening was magic.
Conquer You Cacao officially launched under the full moon on April 6, 2023. By that time, it had already been served at events, healing circles, men’s circles, and ceremonies, both nationally and internationally.
The idea of “a ceremony in every sip,” begins with the careful contemplation of the organic ingredients that are then alchemized together. This process is enhanced by a specific energetic intention that places you within the container of conscious creation and personal ceremony.
