Making a Cacao Elixir

Before you begin the alchemy of making your Cacao Elixir, I invite you to take a moment to breathe and tune into your heart. Perhaps you hold an intention for this cacao experience. If so, feel into your intention. Notice the connection between your breath and your heart, your feet and the earth.

When you feel present and ready, add your desired amount of Cacao Paste to a small pot. To every 1 ounce of cacao paste, add 2-3 ounces of water and heat (do not boil the cacao).

Stir and add your desired spices, flowers, milks and sweeteners (I love to use a pinch of chili powder, maple syrup and honey). As you stir your ingredients continue to notice sensations in your own body, staying connected to your feet and your heart. If you feel called, you may want to share songs, poems or other blessings as you mix your elixir. Every elixir is an opportunity to get creative.

Stir well and perhaps even blend your elixir to create more froth and bubbles.

Take a moment to receive the aromatics of the Cacao.

Sip and Savor.

Cacao may inspire you to deepen into your own creativity. You are celebrated and supported to move your body, make art, sing, connect with nature or make love. Tune into what feels loving and nourishing for you. Enjoy!

Necuhtli Cacao

Necuhtli Cacao was inspired by a decade of on and off travel to Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Mexico, Bali and Hawaii, where the magic and love of Cacao supported my personal healing, embodiment and creative expression. I was so inspired by other cacao mamas and elders throughout my travels who taught me how to handcraft cacao in traditional ways. After the pandemic hit in 2020, everything that distracted me fell away, and what emerged was the opportunity to focus on the true passions in my heart. Since then I have begun to handcraft this sacred cacao with immense joy and gratitude here in my own home lands of Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico. I have always enjoyed sweetening this beautiful earth medicine with the sacred medicine of Honey. Necuhtli is a Nahuatl word, which is the language of a diverse Mexica culture of indigenous people, representing some of my personal ancestry. I was inspired to use this word to celebrate the sweet nectar of life and highlight the very special local honey that I use in many of my offerings.

…

Cacao is widely known as the medicine of love. In many cultures around the world, cacao is a plant ally who is respected and celebrated as a feminine essence of Earth who’s gifts and medicines support the unity of diverse cultures of people and inspires embodied self love, an open heart and deep inner healing. It is my intention with Necuhtli Cacao to bring you the best quality of cacao I can find. This Cacao has been respected and loved from the beginning of its life time as a small seed. Organically grown by families and small coops in the sacred valley of Peru, sourced through wonderful friends Matteo and Wasi, to the Necuhtli Apothecary Kitchen; the process of growing the cacao, fermenting, drying, roasting and alchemizing into chocolate has been cared for with deep love every step of the way.

It is such an honor to get to share this sacred cacao with you. Thank you for being here!

With love and blessings,
