FAQ
Information on ordering, shipping, and product specifics.
What is Cacao Spiritus?
Cacao Spiritus was developed from Katrina's own experience with chocolate. She discovered when she moved from her overthinking mind to a grounded and feeling state in the body she was able to transform fears and worries into fuel and connected with her true inner strength.
The self mining experience is designed to improve focus, attune your energy, and may help you better discern the energetics around you, guiding you to make wiser decisions.
Each truffle tasting is a reminder to eliminate fear-based decision-making and codependency and replace it with Self-Trust. Chosen for their Divine signatures, the ingredients transform each truffle into a conduit for personal connection, harnessing the wisdom of the ages. Through the ritual of tasting, we invite you on a journey through your senses to arrive at your 'Heart Intelligence.'
