Why YOUR connection to Cacao matters!
And how you can relate to spirit
Today I share with you why your connection to cacao is important and how you can build a relationship with not only the plant but also its spirit - and deepen the relationship with yourself effortlessly alongside!
My guided Cacao Dieta EARTHING THE VISION starts on March 28th, 2025. You can join by becoming a Magic Member and you will also get access to exclusive articles on cacao facilitation and ceremonies (and the previous Dieta called EQUILIBRIUM which you can move through at your own pace at any time and learn how to practice Shadow Work with and without cacao):
Why is it beneficial to build a relationship with Cacao?
The spell of our modern society has us relying on external sources and neglecting our own intuition, forgetting our own magic and has us constantly distracted from our power.
Cacao comes from the rainforest to establish harmony between humans and nature by reminding us that we are already exactly that: nature.
And being nature means being creation & creator, it means to grow & thrive, to collaborate and shine in uniqueness.
Nature is complete in itself and teaches us that dark and light can live in accordance with each other, soft moss and hard stone belong together, plants can be healing and poisonous.
As do we have our beautiful and ugly sides to us and Cacao is THE support to find acceptance and even bliss in this process of awareness, of embracing the diversity of our nature whilst helping us establish a path that suits our individual journey.
Cacao wants us to discover the magic in our reality with joyful eyes, fully consciously present and rooted in this world.
Without the need to escape or dissociate but to fully partake and even co-create our human lives here on earth.
Cacao reminds us of the value to be born as humans in relationship with plants and creatures of this planet and she wants us to honour this life instead of trying to escape from it like we so often do - either by the misconception of "ascending" out of this reality into "Higher Realms" or distracting ourselves with video games, movies or social media, taking recreational drugs for those huge kicks (and big come downs) or numbing ourselves down to endure life´s challenges.
Cacao helps us to feel, understand and heal what we are trying to suppress in order for us to create a life that WE want to live!
How a Cacao Dieta benefits our life and service to the world:

WHAT IS A CACAO DIETA?
A plant dieta (Spanish for diet) is an essential initiation process for everyone wanting to work with plant medicine. Cacao is not a psychedelic master plant teacher like ayahuasca or peyote and therefore there are no strict or traditional requirements for a specific Cacao Dieta - however a Dieta consist of a few basic understandings:
You commit to ingesting the given plant daily for a period of time from 8 days up to several months (I chose 15 days for this offering as it is suitable for the lives we lead without needing to take breaks or go deep within the jungle to still keep our focus on the endeavour) with a personal intention of CONNECTION TO THE PLANT SPIRIT.
This usually involves a restricted food diet in order to attune your body to the plant in question without other plants interfering too much. These restrictions may vary depending on your diet and can be adjusted to your lifestyle and commitment choices. Most often you will be asked to renounce alcohol, coffee, nicotine, mind altering substances, (processed) sugar, dairy or animal products and even sexual stimulation (with yourself or a partner). These are however guidelines which are more important when working with a master plant teacher. Cacao however does not ask anything of you but invites you to get honest with yourself and requires restriction only if it is your intention to practice discipline and devotion.
A Dieta has a formal opening and closing in the form of ceremonies, in which the Spirit of the Plant is invited and thanked and the Intention is presented - as well as to establish sacred space. This is important to mark this time as a special phase of initiation into the plant mysteries and become aware of everything that is happening during the Dieta.
You are asked to commune daily with the Plant Spirit and take note of what is happening in your life beyond the rituals.
Why is the Cacao Dieta called "EARTHING THE VISION"?
I believe that it is crucial in our modern world of airplanes and internet and fast intermingling of cultures and quick distribution of information without integration - to return to our own roots, plant them firmly in the ground and from there reach up in integrity with where we are.
More patience, more embodied living of spiritual values and appropriate use of plants and knowledge, without cultural appropriation but an honouring of all of our roots: This includes the roots of the Cacao Spirit of course, as we intake the plant, we allow this sacred tree to remind of the importance of interdependence as she is grown in multicoloured soil alongside other plant spirits and in symbiosis with creatures and mycelia! (yes I will share more about her biology, history and culture in the beginning of the Cacao Dieta!).
In the Western world we often look outside of our culture to find spirituality and meaning as we often don't resonate with the christian heritage, however our own roots are so much deeper and still alive in the land and stories we live in. But often they are tainted with pain, suffering or forgotten.
This is where the willingness to do inner work comes in, we allow the Cacao Spirit to guide us home into our hearts instead of getting lost in our heads.
We hold all we need within ourselves and simply (not always easily) need to be reminded to re-member what we are capable of being.
Cacao as an embodiment medicine helps us to birth and earth our vision, make it manifest and feel, breathe and materialise it within our every bones and cells.
For 17 days we will journey together, clarifying our visions, focusing our intentions and implement practical steps to live our potential from our core. Through daily step by step actions and conscious connecting with the essence of our dreams, we find fulfilment in the journey instead of waiting for the “when-then” goal to magically appear. We look at our self sabotage and fears underneath our resistance of stepping into our dream life. We will map our inner landscape and find our way out of the maze to craft a clear path forward.

AND most importantly: Tips to navigate the integration of Cacaos teachings into your day-to-day life after the Dieta! You will not keep them caged in your daily rituals but take them out into your world!
You will need:
A 454g block of Keith´s Cacao to enjoy the best, original ceremonial grade Cacao from Guatemala for fifteen 30g portions to IN-joy and play with (you can drink less of course, it is up to you to decide your daily dosages).
I recommend choosing a brand that is in line with traditional values of indigenous communities - more about cacao and what makes it ceremonial:
I recommend that you consume Cacao with a low caffeine content over such a long period of time. Keith's Cacao has the lowest caffeine content at 28mg per 28g serving and the highest theobromine content at 1310mg).
Since you will be consuming cacao daily and may want to avoid coffee, I want your nervous system to be able to regulate itself instead of being over stimulated. Unless of course you are used to the brand you are working with and are happy to use it for your daily intake!
You will need about 454g for the whole duration of the Cacao Dieta, that's 26g per day.
However, you do not need to consume this much cacao daily, it depends on your circumstances, preferences, physical, emotional and mental states.
Please consult me if you are pregnant, taking heart, blood or mood medication (antidepressants or anxiety medication) and are unsure about the dosage. Ceremonial-grade Cacao is most likely still safe for you and can help improve your wellbeing with the right amount and awareness.
Worldwide shipping, with my discount link you get 5% off every order and when you order 5 blocks (or more) you get an additional 10% discount.
Comes with speedy delivery from warehouses in the UK, Europe, US and Australia.
