As we begin to move towards the end of the year, we like to take a moment of reflection—to take a breath, a sip of cacao, and gather up the experiences we’ve had in 2025.
This time of year can feel overwhelming, busy, intense, challenging, and uncertain for some; for others it may feel exciting, joyful, fun, or full of abundance. Every feeling is welcome.
The Magic of Cacao
Cacao has a magical way of supporting us during these winter months, inviting us to return to a simple ritual: to pause, breathe, and reflect on our journey over the past year—through the difficult moments, the joyful ones, and everything in between.
Cacao Co. is a collective—a community of cacao enthusiasts, first-time drinkers, connoisseurs, occasional sippers, and the cacao curious. Looking back on the last year, through every rise and fall, challenge and moment of expansion, one intention has guided us: to offer cacao in its purest form and cultivate a meaningful sense of community.
So this is a heartfelt thank you, to you, our cacao community.
Amid the holiday season, we wanted to share a short, sweet ritual for you to carve out a little time for yourself, along with a journal prompt for some self-reflection.
A Simple Cacao Ritual
- Prepare your cacao in your favourite way (check out our recipes).
- Pour it into your favourite cup. Find a cosy, comfortable spot.
- Hold your cacao, feeling its warmth in your hands, and bring the cup toward your heart.
- Breathe in the deep, chocolatey aroma as you arrive fully in the present moment. Allow whatever is rising within you to simply be.
- Let any emotion be witnessed. You may even want to say out loud how you’re feeling—naming what’s present for you.
- After a few sacred moments, bring to mind an intention or a feeling you’d like to carry with you over the next few weeks.
- Whisper it into your cacao or hold it gently in your heart. Close your eyes and take your first sip.
This practice can last as long as you need, this is your time—your moment—to explore and to be exactly as you are.
Thank you for being part of this journey, this collective.
Love, Cacao Co.
