Divine Goddess Circles

Women and men both have a unique energy that desires to be celebrated and strengthened across the globe. The sacred feminine and sacred masculine energies can greatly benefit from immersion in a group of solely similar energies. There is a calling for us to join together to strengthen our own personal power and to uplift and connect to one another on a deeper subtler level. Since ancient times, sacred sisterhood circles have been a part of tribal medicine, spiritual growth and deeper connection and understanding of ourselves and one another. This allows a space for full exploration of what it means to be the embodiment of goddess energy.

Kristin facilitates cacao circles just for the goddesses to create a safe, fun and nurturing environment for healing and connection and exploring the raw beauty of the divine feminine. Women of all ages and all walks of life are joining together for our tasty, chocolaty Cacao Elixir, lots of laughter (also some healthy tears) and an abundance of deep healing. We sing, we chant, we meditate, we move, we express ourselves and together create a glowing orb of LOVE. You are being called to recharge your inner Goddess.

A beautiful space for a lovely circle of sisters.

Prepping the cacao elixir for our sisters.

You know a musician lives here when...the spatula is a guitar. Rockin' the cacao preparation!

Sharing some Truth Bomb cards that one of our sisters shared with the circle. So fun and so truthful!

Thank you to our host, Stephanie and to all of the goddesses who joined us. What a special experience. I look forward to sharing sacred space together in Alberta before long. <3

Our Ceremonial Cacao Recipes

We have received many requests for instructions on how to use the ceremonial cacao that guests are purchasing from us at our events.

Below we have whipped up some easy recipes for you to enjoy your ceremonial grade cacao at home.

*Ceremonial Cacao Drink*

1. Grate or shave a shy 1/3 cup of your ceremonial cacao brick. (Exact dose is 42.5g) 

2. Pour the cacao powder into a glass or mug. Stir in a shy 1/4 cup of very warm (not too HOT) water. Stir until a smooth chocolate pudding consistency is achieved. (This step is important for a smooth drink!)

3. Now top up your glass or mug with more very warm water. We recommend about 10 oz. of water to a ceremonial dose of cacao for a nice palateable strength.

4. You can add a pinch of cayenne powder that will synergistically work with the cacao medicine to dilate blood vessels and increase the effects of the cacao. Natural sweetener of your choice can be added if needed. 

5.  There are many superfoods that combine well and work together with cacao. See the book Naked Chocolate for ideas!

*important: combining dairy with your cacao inhibits the cacao medicine to work properly in your system

*Cacao Orbs*

(makes about 40 balls)

1 cup walnuts

1 cup pitted moist dates, halved (soak in warm water for 5 minutes and drain well if very dry)

2/3 cup cacao paste, ground finely

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp ground Cardamom

1/8 tsp ground Fennel 

1/4 tsp ground Cinnamon

Pinch Ginger powder

Pinch Cayenne powder

*Optional 1/4 cup cacao nibs for crunch and cacao kapow!

1/2 cup cocoa or cacao powder for coating the truffles 

In a food processor, blend walnuts and dates for a few minutes until the dough starts to bind up and stick together. Then add cacao, vanilla, dry spices and salt. Blend well. You may have to scrape mixture into a bowl and hand mix, as it gets pretty stiff. 

Using a teaspoon, measure out dough evenly and roll into balls. Coat each ball by rolling them in cocoa powder. *Alternatives for coatings are small seeds, fine coconut, crushed nuts and hemp hearts, etc. 

Refrigerate and enjoy your daily dose of cacao medicine in this tasty treat. Also freezes well. Kids love these too!

Ps. There are endless combinations of spices, essential oils and super foods that can be blended into these balls to create cacao bliss. Experiment freely!

Cosmic Heartbeat 2015

This was one epic day full of magic!

Qigong, cacao ceremony, drumming circle, sound healing, vegan potluck and a sweet kirtan to close the event. We were so grateful to have been a part of this connection and healing for the land and people of Vancouver Island and beyond.

Here is a photo story of the cacao portion of the day, taken by Cori, our Cacao Connections teammate and angel. Enjoy!

Our biggest jar of cacao medicine for a ceremony so far! It was quite a crowd. 

Cacao elixir distribution commences.

We were graced with the addition of two sound healers using crystal bowls and didjeridoos. Such amazing vibrations.

Our friend broke out his didj also. 

Drum beats with some beautiful group singing. 

Sharing our guided meditation and journeying experiences with the group.

Tasting the mystical cacao beans!

Thank you to the hosts and organizers at Temple Home- Wild at Heart for this beautiful gathering. We hope it's the first of many similar events. <3
