✨There is an offer for additional £5 ceremonial cacao. This must be booked in 48 hours before the workshop.There is a separate ticket for this when you purchase. Please contact me if you change your mind to add at a later date.

✨Ceremonial cacao offers benefits for emotional well-being, inhanced mood, reduced stress, and deeper emotional release through the release of feel-good hormones like serotonin and endorphins. Physically, it boosts energy with theobromine, improves blood flow, and is rich in antioxidants and essential minerals. Spiritually, it facilitates connection, intuition, creativity, and a deeper sense of self and nature, making it a powerful plant medicine

✨Please be aware that if you have never experienced ceremonial cocoa before that are some contraindications where you may need a smaller amount. If you are unsure please consult a medical professional first.

Blood Pressure Medication: Cacao has vasodilator properties and can lower blood pressure, which may be problematic for individuals already taking anti-hypertensive drugs.

Blood Thinners: The flavonoids in cacao may interact with blood-thinning medications, increasing the risk of bleeding.

Medical Conditions

Cardiovascular Issues: Theobromine in cacao can increase heart rate and may not be suitable for people with serious heart conditions.
