Join us for a night of community and connection! Cacao is the main ingredient in chocolate that makes chocolate, chocolate. Originating in the upper Amazon Basin (Peru, Colombia & Brazil) and now grown worldwide, the beans come from the Theobroma Cacao Tree; Theobroma meaning "food of the gods." Cacao has been shown to help lower blood pressure, improve blood flow to the brain and heart, and aid in preventing blood clots. It was ritualized by the Mesoamerican peoples (Izapan, Maya, Toltecs, and Aztecs) and used in ceremonies to appease deities. Cacao was primarily consumed in a frothed drink and available only to the elite. It is known for its heart-opening qualities by modern-day sippers. Our cacao ceremony is held every other month, second Saturday from 4-5:30pm at BodyWorks Massage Center in Littleton. Register at www.vagaro.com/nomadicwellness/classes
