OUR ONGOING ROUND BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 3RD 2024
Since launching our Cacao Challenge two years ago, we have witnessed profound healing and transformation in hundreds of participants each round! We are amazed by the commitment of so many people to sit with cacao for 20 consecutive days.
During this challenge, you will not only learn more about yourself but you will discover the secrets of an ancient culture, and create a life-changing relationship with cacao.
SUPPORTED BY 20 SACRED ENERGIES
Each day offers a unique experience guided by the sacred energies of the Cholq'ij calendar, which govern all of life and the Earth's cycles. Throughout the challenge, we will explore various healing recipes used by the Mayans for millennia, deepening our understanding of the 20 daily energies and our own personal Mayan energy.
ABOUT THE 20-DAY CACAO CHALLENGE!
Cacao has been a sacred plant used by the Mayans for millennia, fostering healing, well-being, and community support. Words can't fully capture the rich history, impact, and benefits of this extraordinary medicine.
Our team has been on a decades long journey of research, and they are still uncovering new mind-blowing information about the ways in which their Mayan ancestors used this medicine. A symbiosis with the entire universe, a tool for healing, and beneficial for the health of the Earth, the animals, and the human community are descriptions that only begin to explain cacao.
Are You in Love with Ceremonial Cacao? Or would you like to start drinking it from its incredible properties?
Join us for a 20-day virtual journey where we will gather for 60 minutes each day to share a cup of ceremonial cacao. Participants will receive a list of ancient recipes that the Mayans have used for millennia, designed for healing, empowering warriors, and facilitating transformation.
Throughout the challenge, we will explore the 20 sacred energies, creating a unique recipe to connect with each energy to foster healing from within. This is an experience you won't want to miss!

FAQ
How does it work?
FOR 20 DAYS, WE WILL MEET FOR A 60-MINUTE DAILY GROUP CALL AND SHARE A CUP OF CACAO.
This is a community event of connection, healing, and openness.
If you have been following us, you know there is a sacred calendar called the Cholq'ij (sacred calendar of life) and every day has a specific energy that carries us throughout the day and determines what will happen. In our challenge we will go through the 20 energies of the Cholq'ij, and every day we will explore each one through cacao.
As we mentioned, our teachers spent the last 15 years doing research and what they discovered will determine this Challenge...
Part of their research was dedicated to recipes, and they discovered there is a recipe for each nahual (energy of the Cholq'ij).
Let's look at an example: On the day that is carried by the energy of Ajaw Aj, you can mix cacao with chili to boost the healing of the nervous system. And since the energy of the day naturally activates that part of your body, the mix creates a powerful healing reaction.
Some days will heal the physical body, others will heal the emotions and mind, and others will help have a profound spiritual experience.
The 20-Day Challenge will cover all of the days, we will recreate recipes the Mayans were using thousands of years ago, and get to know the true ancient uses of cacao.
What Benefits can I expect?
- Overcome your anxiety
- Improve your depression
- Become more open and feel lighter
- Improve your overall health
- Less conflict in your relationships
- Revelations about your life and healing
- Learn your personal Mayan energy and how to work with it for self-improvement.
We could keep going with the benefits because here is the thing, there are very few areas of life cacao doesn't help with.
It crosses the blood brain barrier and regulates dopamine and serotonin, which are the happy chemicals! It doesn't only make you feel a heart opening, it literally contains amino-acids and fats that improve blood flow and relax the muscles.
Cacao puts your body in the perfect state between physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being!
