To be honest, I don’t remember where my journey with Cacao started. I’ve always liked chocolate in general and working with raw Cacao feels like it’s always been there, always been a part of me.
I have been drinking raw Cacao on a regular basis for the last two years, just for me; sometimes when I felt like getting comfortable and cozy, sometimes for diving into deep processes, sometimes as an impulse for creativity. I’ve never seen it as something that I „need“ to dig deeper, it’s always been a nice addition.
This is also the reason why at first I really opposed to working with Cacao in circles and as something to open spaces with. I never thought Cacao to be necessary for it. And to be honest – I still think it’s not.
Anyways, I found something else for me within Cacao. Cacao gifts me with the variety that I need and want.
I am an artist. I am a shaman. I am a business woman. I am a tourist. I am a daughter. I am a Yogi. I am a breath work practitioner. I am a human. I am so much more.
And Cacao allows me to be it all and most importantly to incorporate all of those aspects within my circles.
For a short time I tried to open Women Circles, which I view as highly important and healing, but for myself as the space holder, they always felt kind of tight, as if there were certain rules to follow.
With Cacao this has changed, I allow myself even more to flow. I allow myself to feel into the moment, to see what is right for the group, for each person and for myself. It allows me to trust even more.
And this is why I decided to work more with Cacao. Not because it’s so hyped right now and not because of its’ effects. I do it for myself and to become vessel for something greater.
Also, before having decided to do the Cacao training program with @larissa.medina, I spontaneously got invited to do a Cacao ceremony within a Women’s Circle and within a retreat and this was more than a sign for me, to go along with Cacao.
And now, here I am, learning more about Cacao, feeling it and letting it create through me.
Next Sunday I will open up a Cacao Space again, which I am so looking forward to, to sharing my newly found knowledge about it and also to dive into voice activation and music. If you want to know more about it, look up my Story Highlight „Kakao“ or send me a private message.
