Something exciting and newly launched! In line with our new  Cayote Cacao sacrament, Ben and Cynthia share why ceremonial cacao paired with a microdose of psilomethoxin has become a daily ritual for many in the Church of the Sacred Synthesis.

Before the discussion, Cynthia offers a few updates. The final ceremony of the year will be held on December 28 and will feature the Coyote Cacao Holiday Edition. Weekly Conclaves, monthly integration calls, and upcoming office hours with Ben are all available at thesacredsynthesis.com.

Why Ceremonial Cacao Matters

Ben explains that ceremonial cacao is very different from typical chocolate. It is unroasted, which means it keeps its natural compounds like theobromine, anandamide, and serotonin precursors. These support emotional balance, steady energy, and a gentle opening of the heart.

The church sources cacao from small farms in Ecuador that use traditional, prayerful harvesting methods. Cynthia adds that certain lineages, especially in South America, naturally hold more potency. For her, this cacao is energizing without the crash or jitters of coffee. It brings clarity, warmth, and a sense of emotional softness.

The Role of Psilomethoxin

Psilomethoxin, created by feeding 5-MeO-DMT to psilocybin producing mushrooms, offers a clear and grounded experience. It brings awareness and insight without overwhelming visuals. Because it interacts with the serotonin 1A receptor, it supports nervous system regulation and emotional balance.

Cynthia uses a microdose daily. It helps her stay present, calm, and connected to her breath throughout the day.

Why They Work So Well Together

Cacao opens the heart. Psilomethoxin opens awareness. Together they create a gentle lift, a steady presence, and a natural desire to connect. Ben describes the pairing as a way to be fully here in the moment. Cynthia calls it a soft blend of clarity and emotional warmth.

A Simple Daily Ritual

Both hosts recommend preparing cacao with intention. Ben froths his with warm milk, honey, cinnamon, or vanilla. Cynthia prefers a slow stirring ritual with rose water or spices, letting the process itself become a moment of presence.

She shares that after briefly returning to coffee, she immediately felt the difference. Cacao supported her more, so she chose to return to it with gratitude.
