June 6th | New Moon in Gemini

The New Moon in Gemini brings a breath of fresh air and insight. The Gemini archetype is curious, flexible, adaptable, flighty, and fast-moving. Gemini shines in the realms of communication and information, especially in our close relationships such as neighbors and nearby community. Pay attention to any fresh insights you have at this time as you set your intentions with what you’d like to create in this next lunar cycle.

Leverage the levity and curiosity of this New Moon with Oaxacan Spice. The multi-layered blend of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cayenne will not only stimulate your circulation but also tickle the curiosity of your taste palate!

June 16th | Father’s Day

This month we get to honor the father and father-like figures in our lives. No matter what your relationship with your father is, we hope you can connect to the energies of the masculine archetype that exists within you and in your relationships. We honor the father figures in our life who have helped raise us and those who offer security, protection, strength, and clarity.

If you’re looking to share cacao as a Father’s Day gift, place your order by June 11th at 10am PST to make sure it arrives on time!

Our recommended cacao for celebrating Father’s Day is Vibrant Vitality with its strengthening, stamina-building, and fortifying properties. This blend includes maca and ashwagandha, which offers relief from anxiety and fatigue while boosting immune functioning.

June 20th | Summer Solstice & Cancer Season

We welcome the start of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere alongside the zodiacal start of Cancer season. This can be a time of increased intensity as daylight and activities abound! Cancer season is a nice energy to buffer this intensity with its value of nesting and nurturing.

Feel into the blossoming of summer with Tantric Rose Blossom. This blend includes damiana and rose which lends itself to a sensual embodied experience to enliven your summer pursuits.

June 21st | Full Moon in Capricorn

The Full Moon this month occurs in the sign of Capricorn, which is the opposing sister sign of Cancer. Where Cancer represents the mother, Capricorn represents the father. Full Moons are a great time to review what in our life has come to fruition and also what is ready to be released. When we align with the energy of Capricorn, we recognize the long term vision of something we are building. This is a great time to assess the foundations of what you’re creating for yourself long term.

Expand your long-term visions with Boundless Belize. This cacao from Maya Mountain has an expansive energy that supports creativity and visioning - a beautiful compliment to all the hard work Capricorn energy inspires.

June 22nd | World Rainforest Day

On World Rainforest Day we acknowledge and honor the heart of the earth & home of the cacao tree. The cacao tree is a collaborative understory tree that thrives in supporting life, often growing with diverse food and medicinal plants. Our cacao is grown by small regenerative farms, in harmony with local habitat, and supporting the biodiversity of the rainforest.
