Delicious 100% ceremonial grade cacao infused with a daily dose of reishi mushroom extract, this beautiful offering opens our hearts and helps us tap into our creativity. Medicines of the heart, cacao and reishi are a perfect unification of divine harmony. While cacao enlivens, courts, and dilates the heart-space, reishi grounds and coalesces these energies. Offering up the whole plant medicine of cacao, including the cacao butter that allows the upward and outward energy to flow, this complete expression of cacao allows the spirit of cacao to move us to express ourselves and welcome in ceremony in whatever ways we feel called. Sourced from small family farms in Guatemala that are paid premium prices, the cacao is grown organically, fermented, roasted, and ground for potency and gorgeous flavor. And this creation from Forest Folk Fungi is all about respect: of the cacao tree’s medicine, of the farmers who grow the cacao, of the people who transport the cacao beans, of the chocolatiers who form the beans into bars, and of our intentions when we bring the cacao into our bodies. Sip in bliss as you honor that plants are our elders and teachers, and that the heart of healing with plants is the willingness to develop relationship with the plants themselves.
14oz (16 squares)
100% ceremonial grade cacao infused with reishi mushroom extract
The uplifting, energizing, grounding, enlivening, creativity-inspiring medicine of cacao lends itself well to morning rituals. Try half a square (about 1/2 ounce) stirred or blended into hot water, perhaps sweetened with honey or maple syrup. It's easy to shave off your desired amount using a kitchen knife, then either melt it into hot water or use a blender for extra frothiness.
Forest Folk Fungi is a medicinal mushroom apothecary located in the foothills of Appalachia. Founded in 2015 by Ali and Joe Banks, who are cultivators, medicine makers, and gardeners, Forest Folk offerings are created by honoring strict wildcrafting practices that value ecosystems over profit. Ali and Joe believe deeply in reciprocity with nature; in operating in a way that reveals deep reverence for Mother Earth. Like gathering only what they need and have the capacity to process and no more, choosing mature specimens that have already sporulated abundantly, carrying mesh foraging bags to aid in spore dispersal, and deferring to the wisdom and wishes of the indigenous. They create - and live - in phenomenal integrity. Always asking how they can deepen their expression of respect for the forest. How they can deepen their integrity in all they create.
