“Not only did I feel a strong connection with the entire group attending that day, but I left the gathering feeling better than I have in a long time. My entire body and mind was simply uplifted by the event. My heart was truly open and radiant. Hours later, as the concert was about to begin, I still had the same uplifted, loving feeling throughout my being. I realized I didn’t want to change anything about the way I was feeling. I went to the show completely sober!”

"The cacao ceremonies led by Hannah & Kait always do wonders in balancing and re-centering our hectic energies before shows. We all share the same look in our eyes every time we’re able to have one - that of gratitude for the space they create and to be able to breathe and be nothing but present with ourselves and each other for a moment."

“I have REALLY bad anxiety at times. The conscious pre-game seriously put me in the right headspace and helped my anxiety before the show. I kept looking at [my partner] and telling her, “I don’t feel anxious. I’m okay. I love this!”. Moving forward, I plan to have cacao before each show.”

"Hannah & Kait introduced us to Mama Cacao for the first time before a big show in Seattle. The ceremony was relaxing, yet recharging. I remember stepping on stage with the band - there was an extra bond of connection. It led to some really powerful and inspiring musical moments. I believe Mother Cacao brought us together and allowed us to tap into ourselves a little bit more than usual."

what is cacao?
Cacao is a non-psychedelic plant medicine that produces heart-opening, energizing, playful, blissful, yet grounding and centering effects when consumed (drank) in an intentional space.
Cacao enhances euphoria and feelings of connectedness while keeping your mind clear, making it easier to connect with yourself and others around you.
Cacao is a powerful tool to unleash creativity, become aligned (in a “flow state”), increase clarity and focus, deepen a meditative state, and manifest intentions.
Cacao is a nutrient-dense superfood and naturally vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, and organic, making it a healthier alternative to other “pre-game” options (eg, alcohol, caffeine, and other mind-altering substances).
Cacao has become our favorite wingwoman - an ally, guide, and playful mother - who brings magic and divine intervention to every live music experience.
