Let's deepen your connection to cacao and grow your ritual practice.
In our monthly ritual forecast, we've highlighted meaningful astrological dates that help you align with the natural cycles of Earth, significant days to celebrate and reflect with cacao, and notable historical events. This offers you a mix of cosmic and grounded cacao ritual.
In addition, we recommend specific cacaos to support your intentions on these special days.
Each day is an opportunity to go deeper with your ceremony by dedicating more time, planning a more involved ritual, perhaps increasing your cacao dose, or planning ahead for a (virtual) group ritual with friends, loved ones, and the larger community.
How will you make your rituals authentic to you this month?

Cacao Ritual - Inspiration & Suggestions
Fri. March 12 | Plant a Flower Day
This day is dedicated to the planting of flowers and looking forward to the spring season in the Northern Hemisphere.
One of the greatest benefits of working with cacao is the creativity and autonomy it affords us in ritual. Unlike other plant medicines that exhaust your body or leave you incapable of interacting with the external environment, cacao supports you in being out in the world.
Try enjoying a cup of cacao in nature today. Either plant a flower, purchase a new house plant, or go witness the beauty of nature while enjoying the sensual Tantric Rose Blossom cacao. As you participate or observe, reflect on this question: what wants to flower in my life? What may I plant in my literal or metaphorical garden today?
Sat. March 13 | New Moon in Pisces
This New Moon carries energy to break down the barriers between you, others, and your dreams. This is a potent time to imagine and visualize before you take your imperfect leap of faith.
Boundless Belize is the ideal cacao companion for this New Moon. Its pure expansive energy can help you express your magic into the world and is perfect for creative contemplation. What walls can you break down between you and your highest expression?
Sat. March 20 | Vernal Equinox
The vernal equinox signals the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. With the first season of 2021 coming to a close, we have an opportunity to bring forth our invigorated spirit for life.
What are you carrying forward into your next season? And how can you cultivate the strength to support that? Vibrant Vitality is a great choice to help you rejuvenate your body. The maca, turmeric, and ashwagandha in it can give you the extra immunity and resilience that you need to keep living fully.
Sun. March 21 | World Forestry Day
Established in 1971, World Forestry Day raises public awareness about the values, significance, and contributions of the forests to balance the life cycle on the earth.
Forests contribute to the thriving of all life forms. Thus, when we are setting intentions to do the same, we choose Thriving Tanzania. This pure 100% cacao is Africa’s first ceremonial cacao and is grown amongst teeming biodiversity, including bananas and rice. The village where this cacao is called Mbingu in Swahili, which translates to “heaven” in English. Try connecting with the uplifting energy of this cacao to clarify: in what ways can I support the thriving of all of life?
Mon. March 22 | World Water Day
This day celebrates water and raises awareness of the global water crisis in order to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030. The theme of World Water Day 2021 is valuing water.
Water begets life, and most certainly cacao too. The element of water is present in the cycle of cacao as follows: in the growing of cacao pods as the rainforest precipitation, in cacao fermentation as the wet cacao pods, in cacao crafting as the coaching and molding which turns dry nibs into a wet paste, and in cacao ritual as the water in your hot cup of cacao.
Next time you are setting an intention to connect to the elements of life, try Medicinal Mushroom. This Enhanced 100% Cacao is full of 11 fungi friends that connect you with your humanity and our shared needs for life-giving elements such as water. Where can you connect with the water element in your life?
Sun. March 28 | Full Moon in Libra
This Full Moon enhances our awareness of our need for relationships, as well as all that comes with cultivating and maintaining them—compassion, presence, giving, receiving, listening, and more.
Prepare a cup of Glowing Guatemala with yourself, loved ones, or friends, and reflect on the following: What have we been learning about how we can best support each other? Where can we celebrate our relationship? Where can we grow our relationship? Let the mother, strong, and wise energy of Glowing Guatemala support you with uncovering these insights.
We hope this cacao ritual forecast sparks inspiration, deeper self-knowledge, generosity, and understanding.
