EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL BENEFITS
Cacao is a powerful plant medicine and has many amazing, life-affirming qualities that support health and psychological well-being helping us to release emotional blockages that no longer serve us, find forgiveness in ourselves and others, and shows us the way forward if we are stuck, or afraid of making necessary life changes. It also enables us to access stuck emotions, conditionings, patterns of behavior and addictions that are buried deep in the unconscious.
Cacao is love!

Ulalawl
The Flavor of this particular kind is balanced, light fruity bitterness, smooth notes of vanilla and a touch of citrus.This ancestral cacao from Guatemala is the product of "Tuqtuquilal", a regenerative center that uses reforestation to empower cacao. The collective is focusing on the exchange of information to develop sustainable living solutions for the benefit of the local Q’eqchi community and visitors alike. The center is a start-up “not for profit” that grows cacao, without the use of agrochemicals. In 2019, the project empowered the creation of a cooperative of farmers gathering about 60 families in the area. This cacao is grown in the mountain region of Alta Verapaz, close to the famous waterfalls of Semuc Champey, and at the mouth of the Lanquin River.
The collective’s focus on breed selection allows them to distribute highly aromatic criollo hybrid beans that are carefully fermented, dried, selected, and processed without the use of electricity.
A regenerative center named tuqtuquilal that promotes community development through artisan production, organic agriculture, ecotourism and community education. They offer families that produce cocoa and other spices, the possibility of accessing an increasingly fair price for their raw materials. They strive to build intercultural bridges and social and physical infrastructure for a positive local impact.
