The importance of respecting different belief systems is acknowledged while emphasizing that there is no direct connection between many modern cacao ceremonies and ancient creation myths. (If you know of any research on this topic, please share them.)
The role of ceremonial cacao in connecting with our inner selves and achieving a state of heightened consciousness is discussed, with an emphasis on minimal processing and traditional preparation methods involved in making ceremonial cacao. The qualities that make ceremonial cacao "ceremonial grade" are outlined, including organic cultivation practices and the use of high-quality cocoa beans. The cultural misappropriation of cacao ceremonies is touched upon, and the need for maintaining a connection to the heritage and original purpose of these ceremonies is stressed. The power of cacao ceremonies in fostering connections and understanding among different cultures is also highlighted.
