Grounding & Heart-Opening Ritual Kit

Coming home to your heart with sacred cacao and intentionally hand crafted artisanal tools to support your journey IN. 

Your cacao experience transforms when your unique ritual is weaved into the process. What is a ritual? It is simply doing something with intention, love and awareness regularly. Maman Cacao has created special packages to amplify your sacred journey. In these offerings you’ll receive a block of ceremonial grade cacao from Lake Atitlán, Guatemala or Bali, Indonesia, a bottle of local handcrafted rose glycerite, a botanical smudge bundle and the option to include a beautiful artisanal cup or maple syrup. I have created 4 different bundles to allow for variety and give you the opportunity to select exactly what you need to enhance your ritual. 

The cacao will be beautifully wrapped in textile weaved with love and sealed with a handmade tie, the cloth can then be used to hold your sacred items, as an altar cloth or be regifted to someone you love. 

My intention was to create various packages filled with love to enhance your ritual experience.

May your brew be as powerful as your prayer and your journey IN be insightful, nourishing and guided by the Spirit of Maman Cacao.

With love,

Nicole

Created for moments of peace, gratitude and reflection, with an invitation to seek insight through your dreams.

Individual plant meanings:

Cedar — Protection and purification

Sweetgrass — Kindness, love and calm

Mugwort — Dreamwork, intuition and inner guidance”

Made by Happy Hallows Homestead:

“Handcrafted botanical skincare and herbal remedies made from plants grown on our Quebec farm. Small-batch, artisanal, and rooted in traditional herbal knowledge.

My relationship with plants began long before Happy Hollows — in childhood, exploring woodlands, meadows, and wild places, and later through my first studies in botany. Years in pharmaceutical research deepened my respect for science, precision, and the remarkable complexity of plants. Happy Hollows is, in many ways, a return to what has always felt fundamental to me: working with plants, creating with care, and sharing that knowledge with my community.”

"From flower to nectar...

Each glycerite is handcrafted from freshly picked rose petals, lovingly grown and then gently macerated in organic vegetable glycerin for several weeks, sometimes several months.

Each bottle is carefully prepared and energetically attuned by me, with the intention of supporting the person who will receive it.

Alcohol-free, delicately floral and naturally sweet, my glycerites are an invitation to slow down, breathe, and return to the heart.

One drop at a time...

Rose reminds us of the softness we sometimes forget to offer ourselves. It invites us to honour ourselves, to embrace our sensitivity, to dare to be fully ourselves… and to allow the blooming of whatever is asking to come to life.

— Annie Bouthot, founder of ANAÏA

How to Use Your Botanical Bundle

• Light: Hold your bundle over a heatproof bowl. Light the tip and allow the flame to go out or blow it out gently.  The aim is a very gentle stream of smoke.  Always ensuring you are in a ventilated space.  

• Set your intention: Take a quiet moment to reflect. Welcome protection, kindness or calm into your space, or set an intention to explore your dreams and the guidance they may offer.

• Guide the smoke: Gently guide the smoke with your hand or move the bundle through your space. Take your time.

• Close: Give thanks and carefully extinguish your bundle by tapping the end of the smudge in a bowl. Ensure it is completely out before storing.

Note on Safety

Burn in a well-ventilated space. Avoid inhaling smoke directly. Keep away from children, pets and flammable materials. Never leave a burning bundle unattended.

How to Use Your Rose Glycerite

“There is no one right way to experience rose. What matters is slowing down, setting an intention, and choosing what feels right for you. Some options include:

• In your mouth: Place 1–2 drops on your tongue, mindfully. Close your eyes... Breathe. You may also choose to set an intention and welcome the spirit of rose.

• In your cacao: Add a few drops to your ceremonial cacao, ideally once it has been prepared. Take a moment before drinking to set your intention and welcome the meeting of cacao and rose.

• On your heart: Place one drop on your skin over your heart and take a few conscious breaths. Simply let the rose become a gentle reminder of softness and presence.

• And other ways: Let your creativity guide you. You may choose to add a few drops to a personal ritual, a moment of meditation, a journaling practice, or simply whenever you feel the need to return to yourself."
