Cacao Love Story: Meet the Love Creatrix
“Cacao is my soul food and spirit medicine and has been a huge part of my transformation. Eating and drinking intentional cacao makes me happy, highly vibrated and loving throughout the day. The quality of my relationships with friends and families have strengthened as my heart is open and trusting.”
Meet the Love Creatrix Maria Theresa Harrison. She is a passionate lover, earth guardian and cacao-loving lightworker dedicated to opening up pathways of prosperity and inspiring others to awaken the contagious energies of spirit, engagement, clarity and action.
What made you fall in love with cacao?
My first memories of cacao came from my grandmother Amalia, who loved cacao so much that she would prepare it as an afternoon treat for her grandchildren. We would stand around the kitchen stove watching her pour love into the ritual of boiling water with 2-3 round discs of pure Philippine cacao and sugar. She would stir the pot ever so gently with undivided attention to the preparation. Once completed, the grandchildren would each receive a 4-ounce pour of deliciously rich cacao. Then, she would give each of us one slice of white wonder bread to dip it into our chocolate drink!
It was in these tender moments as a young 6-year-old child when I began loving cacao, not only for the taste but mainly because it was one of the ways my grandma showed love for us. Cacao bonded us to our grandmother, who was an act of service and quality time lover. Upon reflecting on these distant memories in writing this, I am reminded of Amalia and all her sweet loving ways. I love you Amalia.
How do you incorporate Maya Moon truffles into your daily self-love ritual?
I love my daily cacao rituals. I get so excited to wake up around 5am each morning to begin my morning ritual which includes lighting beeswax candles and clearing the space with palo santo, playing zen music, reflecting on a mantra or affirmation, drinking tea, and slowly indulging in my favorite chakra chocolate truffles (my little love gems). To me, this is the best part of the day when I am deeply connected with my inner lover.
Most people are shocked when I share this ritual because they can’t believe I eat chocolate for breakfast! I love the reactions I get, confirming just how wild and non-conforming I really am.
After a long day, I will treat myself to a bath and enjoy a cacao truffle as I soak in aromatherapy-infused epsom salt water. Lately, I’ve been pairing my love baths with lavender rose truffles. Sensual combination!
What shifts have you noticed in your life with cacao’s loving support?
Cacao is my soul food and spirit medicine and has been a huge part of my transformation. Eating and drinking intentional cacao makes me happy, highly vibrated and loving throughout the day. Since I began eating Maya Moon Co’s truffles, I have attracted so much abundance and deep soul love connection into my life. I am able to channel this energy into acts of love throughout my day. I’ve also cleared up the blockages in my throat chakra and can finally speak my truth. This is a huge release for me as I was stuck for many years! I have also noticed the quality of my relationships with friends and families have strengthened as my heart is open and trusting.
What’s your favorite memory of eating cacao truffles?
My favorite memory eating cacao truffles is when the experience is shared with my 8-year old daughter, Siena. She sits on my lap at our dining table, while jokingly telling me that she loves truffles more than me! We have fun with the laughter and hugs. She picks a truffle to start her morning ritual too, which is quite special to witness. We get to share this powerful heart medicine and teach each other about the chakras we want to connect to in the moment. Like my time with grandma, the cacao truffles invite a deeper bond between Siena and I as we share quality time and physical affection with one another.
If you could describe your relationship with cacao, what would you say?
Cacao is sacred spirit medicine that calls me in when I am needing loving support and a gentle reminder to slow down and take a break. Similar to crystals, I attract an abundance of cacao, with a beautiful collection of cacao boxes sitting on my work desk, kitchen, car, or tucked away nicely in my bag. Somedays, I’ll bring cacao with me only to gift it to someone that may be in need of loving support. Cacao flows through me like golden elixir, bringing rich energy and love vibration to my life.
How has cacao inspired your creation of Love Creatrix?
I love performing blessings and rituals in our community. In my career, I founded and led two heart-centered organizations both dedicated to rituals and pathways for healing, mindfulness and love.
I was first introduced to Chef Kathryn, Maya Moon Co’s founder, at a wonder women’s networking event held at my former store, Tea Gallerie. Years later, I created Forest Academy to help introduce nature as a form of healing with curated forest retreats and rituals. As soon as I discovered Chef Kathryn’s cacao truffles, I knew I had to incorporate them into our community rituals.
I loved Maya Moon cacao truffles so much that I began sharing it with everyone for special occasions and milestones, opening up a pathway to share love. As I tuned in to cacao’s powerful heart-opening qualities, I began attracting abundance, clarity, passion, power, truth, and love— basically the cacao opened up all of my chakras to flow so beautifully.
I attended a Secret Sauce Masterclass Retreat with Hemalayaa and discovered my essence and gift of LOVE! From this vision came the birthing of myself, Maria Theresa as The Love Creatrix!!! I now get to share my love intimately and co-create more magical love through rituals.
Can you tell us more about this beautiful offering?
As the Love Creatrix, I am an embodiment of pure love and have chosen to share my love on an intimate journey with couples and single adults. The purpose is to help people journey back to soul love, to discover their best friend, their inner lover, their higher selves so they can flow with so much love for themselves and attract the love they so desire. I offer an in-depth discovery call to see if there is alignment; then I create a customized 10-week plan to dive deep into various love modules. An exploration with cacao is one of the modules which we will work with to connect to the energy of love.
I am calling forward 10 people to begin an intimate guided love journey with me beginning this spring.
