In a world that pulls you in a thousand directions, cacao brings you home to your heart.

And what is cacao? It's chocolate in its most natural, most nutritious and most delicious form.

To situate ourselves: we run a regenerative cacao business called Cacao Love, where we collaborate ethically with all-Indigenous cooperatives from Peru.

We are initiates of earth-honouring traditions, and have dedicated much of our adult lives to studying and creating ceremonial space.

The problem with the modern cacao movement is that it rehashes the same handful of facts again and again and again.

We are lovers, writers, researchers and ritualists. This is our home for sharing our stories, our discoveries, and the research that most people don't know exists.

It's the most in-depth resource about cacao online.

Each letter leads to a deeper relationship with cacao. You'll integrate what you learn into how you live, and discover beautiful rituals to hold space for yourself and those you love.

Thank you for being here with us

Our love letters are completely free, so please join and support our heart-led work.

With love, Gavin and Diane x
