OUR CACAO

Our Ceremonial Cacao paste is a healing and heart opening elixir produced and blessed respecting Pachamama and the Awajún tribes and indigenous owners of our cacao in Peru. Known as ‘Food of the Gods’, this high-vibrational Cacao is rescuing the sacred traditions of cacao in Peru which date back over 5,000 years, rescuing farmers from the illegal drug trade by providing a living wage alternative and rescuing the Amazon from deforestation. Made with absolute reverence to the ancient people who have cultivated it for thousands of years. Ethically sourced, sustainably produced and scientifically analysed to prove it to be the most medicinal and healing. Indigenous plant wisdom made by indigenous people.

OUR MACA

The most sacred plant of Junin, Peru with over 2000 years of traditional practice as a plant medicine. She represents strength, resilience, balance and promotes self-healing. Maca is a cruciferous root vegetable known as the ‘Food of the Brain’ and has been a staple source of nutrition by the Inca for centuries. It is an adaptogen meaning it supports harmonious balance during times of stress and supports energy, vitality, and healthy endocrine balance. This high-vibrational Maca is made by us with love following ancient traditions, provides a living wage to farmers, is heat activated to protect your gut and is scientifically standardised to ensure potency.
