Hand-crafted from indigenous cacao in Tarapoto, Peru we’ve also now added the Seleno Health Uturunuku (Jaguar) Cacao into our offerings for it’s therapeutic benefits and gentle heart activation, suitable for more sensitive nervous systems.
“This ceremonial cacao is like no other, with our scientific studies showing it to be ultra potent in levels of biogenic amines like tryptamine and phenylethylamine (PEA) for feelings of intense satisfaction, embodiment and spiritual awakening. It also contains high levels of tryptophan for sensations of joy and happiness.”
What makes a cacao ceremonial?
Ceremonial Cacao is a new term, and it's not regulated but for us there are three key aspects we believe are fundamental in a cacao being ceremonial
1. Origin
Ceremonial cacao comes from rare varieties known for ceremonies. Grown in areas of Central and South America that honour the original wisdom keepers of the Mayo Chinchipe, Olmec, Aztec and Mayan peoples who have used cacao for medicinal, ritual and trade purposes for thousands of years.
2. Minimal Processing
Ceremonial cacao is carefully harvested, sorted by hand, and processed using traditional methods. This keeps its natural qualities intact while also supporting local farmers and families.
3. Organic and Ethical
Ceremonial-grade cacao is grown using organic and sustainable methods. It supports fair trade and ethical labor practices, benefiting local communities like the Kaqchikel Mayan women.

Our Story
Hi I'm Lani, a lover of ceremonial cacao and the power of this gentle heart medicine. Dedicated to a life of inner enquiry, service and embodiment I have a curiosity for truth, nature and sharing the wisdom of the Heart.
It all began in 2012 while travelling overseas when I found myself living in Guatemala sitting many cacao ceremonies with Keith, affectionately known as the chocolate shaman. A love affair with cacao began and I lived in the small village of San Marcos in Lake Atitlan on and off for the next 4 years. My journey with the spirit of cacao connected me to something very beautiful – the richness of life lived from Gentleness. Kindness. Sweetness.
While on a trip to Peru I was teaching a yoga and meditation class when I accidentally discovered the magic of ceremonial cacao combined with yoga and my Journey into the Heart Cacao Ceremony was born. A decade on I'm still partnering with Keith's Cacao along with Uturunku Cacao that has a gentler impact on sensitive nervous systems to ensure you have access to pure ceremonial cacao. I now live in Perth where I opened Perth's first Cacao Cafe serving thousands of cups of ceremonial cacao to our community...what an incredible ride that was! While the cafe didn't make it through the pandemic heART of Rest has settled into a beautiful ceremony space immersed in nature in Treeby, Western Australia.
After completing some post graduate studies in Mental Health I became more curious about the science and nutritional benefits of cacao and the love affair continues to grow every day as I realise what a potent support she is in cultivating mental health and wellbeing.
My passion is supporting others to find their unique connection to the spirit of cacao. With a passion for embracing life in all it's beautiful humanness I gently guide you on a deep journey through the body into the Heart.
Join me for a journey into the healing power of ceremonial cacao in our Cacao Ceremony or Deep Rest Sundays.
