    Cacao is a sacred medicine that comes from the 20/20 belt across the whole earth. Grown, harvested and sold by indigenous communities across Central and South America, countries in Africa, and South East Asia - this heart medicine is coming out in abundance to meet the needs of our time.

    ​

    Indigenous communities tend, grow and harvest according to ancient ritual and practice - honoring the spirit of the plant and its ecosystem. 

    ​

    Through the wisdoms passed down from Mayan elders, I am honored to hold space for people who are ready to open up to (and be transformed by!) cacao.​

    Cacao is a tremendous healing medicine but needs to be consumed wisely... there are contraindications for those with sensitive hearts, on anti-depressants, and pregnancy. 

    There is also a variation on how much one should consume based on caffeine tolerance, sensitivity to medicines, age, etc.

    If you are considering cacao for yourself, please speak to me or another trained facilitator to ensure you have a safe and meaningful experience. 

    All cacao sessions are designed to

    fit you or your group.

    Here is an example of what you can expect:

    ​

    As a medicine woman, Martha will bring forth the support of Cacao (chocolate) as the drink to be shared together. Martha will spend time sharing wisdom about the medicine and also expressing sacred perspective around the topic at hand.

     

    After drinking the cacao - you will be guided on an inward meditation or a gentle breathwork to experience a significant and meaningful journey. 

     

    Then, we will reconnect through sharing and hearing one another. Intentions for the self and the pair/group are set for the future, and respected by one another.

    ​

    Finally, Martha will bring energy work to help restore alignment and balance. If you are in a pair or group, she will bring awareness to the energy dynamic between you all. Any channeled wisdom on follow-up action, or ways to further develop your desired outcome will come through at this point.

     

    Cacao is a gorgeous medicine to help people truly understand themselves, release pent up emotions that block clarity, bring ease, sourcing compassion and forgiveness for self and others, and empowering one's presence.

     

    This will be a beautiful and gentle reflection - no space for judgement or blame - just information and compassion.​
