Opens the heart
Ceremonial Cacao affects the heart chakra and connects us to the vibration of love. The Trinitario Cacao beans from which MoMaCo Ceremonial Cacao is made of, contain the most theobromine, tryptophan and other components that affect well-being. When the heart is hurting, drinking Cacao can help soothe the pain, cultivate compassion, let go of resentment, forgive and open the flow of love.
-
Mood uplifting
The presence of compounds such as theobromine and phenylethylamine in Cacao may contribute to improving the mood. Some people experience a slight euphoria or heightened sense of well-being during and after the Cacao ritual. We can feel more excited about life with the support of Ceremonial Cacao.
-
Energizes the body
Unlike the jittery energy associated with caffeine, Ceremonial Cacao provides a more even and more balanced energy. It is often described as a grounded and enduring energy that supports physical and spiritual activities. Ceremonial Cacao provides a beautiful boost of energy that is yet soft and gentle.
-
Increases creativity
Ceremonial Cacao contains theobromine, which has mild stimulant properties. This, along with the heart-opening effects, can create an inner space for creative expression. The openness of the heart and the deeper connection with our emotions help us to tap into our expressive selves.
Ceremonial Cacao from Thailand
Ceremonial Cacao is a powerful alchemical drink prepared from the highest quality Trinitario Cacao beans with minimal processing. It is obtained ethically with respect for the Cacao tree, the surrounding nature and the people who grow it.
MoMaCo Cacao travels to Slovenia from the north of Thailand, from a small farm where farmers are paid according to the principle of fair payment.
The specialty of Thai Cacao is its sweetness and rich texture, which caresses our bourbons and gently moves into the body.
A Ceremony with Cacao
The Ceremony with Cacao is a powerful ritual that has been performed for thousands of years by the natives (mainly the Maya) in the Amazon region, and they call Cacao the "food of the gods". Through the Cacao Ceremony, they connect with God and the energy beyond, worship nature, birth, death, fertility and the abundance of the earth. Even today, Cacao is a medicine that heals the heart, soul and body. With deep gratitude and humility for these ancient practices, we can have a part of this experience in our "modern" Western world too.
Ceremonial Cacao can be enjoyed in community, to connect with a partner, a friend, or with oneself. Create a powerful ritual where you set an intention and enjoy every sip of this medicine with presence and awareness.
We created MoMaCo from the heart to warm your heart
We - Maja & Mona - have met on the island of Koh Pangan and soon found many similarities through which we forged a friendship. We share a love for dance, yoga, self-exploration and Ceremonial Cacao. Although we both traveled a lot in South America and tasted Ceremonial Cacao there, we immediately agreed that Thailand surpasses everything in terms of taste and effect. We hope you will have a similar experience.
For the last 10 years I have been involved in entrepreneurship and built an advertising agency in an industry focused on performance and quick turnarounds and results. All the time I had the feeling that "I was on fire".
Despite the fact that I had mastered navigating through this outside world and achieved results that I am proud of, my body was constantly in pain. I was out of touch with myself. My mind and body were not cooperating. I tried to understand what was happening, to rehabilitate the situation with logic, until I gave up.
And that's when my transformation began.
Through dance, movement, yoga, singing and all other expressive techniques, I allow myself to let go of control, expectations of results, image and success measured in external achievements.
I embarked on the study of body psychotherapy, yoga and dance as an excellent method in the field of movement somatics.
I do a lot of dancing, I practice and organize Ecstatic Dance events, I run Contact Beyond Contact dance workshops and I always like to include ceremonial cacao in it, as it deeply connects us with ourselves and allows us a kind of transcendence.
I see the beauty of the human experience in connection, in co-creation, in community, in softness, in slowing down, in grounding.
About a decade ago, my life changed dramatically. I traveled to India for the first time and learned the art of BEING and doing nothing.
It was one of the greatest gifts I have ever received in my life. In our society today, it is very rare to have the gift of time. Since then, I have taken a deep dive into yoga and completed over 640 hours of certified yoga teacher training in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yoga Therapy and Chakra Yoga.
In addition to yoga, I took a few Vipassana meditation courses and absorbed a basic understanding of Ayurveda. I have always been very curious and I like to connect different fields and holistically involve them in my work.
My work currently encompasses Holistic Healing and supporting people to raise their level of consciousness. I offer 1:1 work, as well as organizing women's circles, workshops for healing the inner child, shadow work, dance and ceremonies with Ceremonial Cacao. I train seekers worldwide to step into the role of a facilitator for holistic healing in The School of Light.
