    I had the honor to have Florencia Fridman from Cacao Laboratory at my studio to share with you a recipe mixing both our favorite herbs + cacao, a small ceremony with a meditation + sound and a cacao Q&A with where I got to ask Florencia things like:
    -where does sacred practice involving cacao comes from
    -what is the a ceremonial dose of cacao
    -how to know which cacao to buy
    and more,
    I hope you guys enjoy this video, it was made with so much love and I had a magical time sharing with Florencia :)

      @@ramon7286 hi alejandro! thank you so much for your message in bringing awareness! Just wanted to clarify what I've learned about cacao and what the story behind this video was. I participated in a cacao ceremony back in 2018 for the first time and felt quite called to it, and after drinking cacao in ceremonies (held by florencia as the facilitator) and by myself for a year. I wanted to share about it on my youtube but as this isn't my native practice at all and I am no one to speak about cacao I went to the cacao practitioner I had been working with, Florencia Fridman and asked her if she'd join me in answering some questions and that's what this video is about 🤍 Florencia has been (and continues to be) an apprentice of Nana Marina Cruz for years. Nana is a Tz'utujil woman born and raised in the community. Nana holds cacao ceremonies and shares how cacao has been communed with in her tradition for years and it's one of the seeds the Tz'utujil see as a sacred seed and an essential seed to offer for the sacred fire. From your message I'm understanding this isn't right? Would love to understand more! Thank you.
      Here's a video (which actually starts at minute 15) from an interview to Nana that I was recently watching were Nana shared more about cacao and it's sacredness in her community.

      ​@@ramon7286 Do you think that you are entitled to decree who can sit in ceremony with this beautiful plant because of your genetics/training? Cacao doesn't belong to you, to the Mayans, or to any other particular group or culture, it is an offering to all of us by nature. As you said, since there is no traditional Mayan cacao ceremony, there isn't anything to appropriate here. I urge you to get out of your head and into your heart.

    i love the notion or idea that the earth is resting and getting a break from us humans...but at the same time that understanding seems to suggest that once this is all over, we'll just go back to polluting the planet. The earth had its "break" and soon that break will be over. I HOPE humans will learn how to treat the planet better...I hope humans will learn to prioritize people over profit....to NOT continue the destructive habits we've been doing for decades...I hope this "break" won't just be a break, but a completely permanent, whole new lifestyle where humans choose to live more sustainably, where the healthcare system is just, where the food system emphasizes fair trade, organic, local, and sustainable.

I am reminded how long I have drink coffee with just the attitude of accelerating my physical being and my brain to start my day without giving thanks, to the water to the coffee Bean to all of the wonderful ingredients and the benefits that it has to the body, and now I am offering to my body the cacao to my coffee and just allowing whatever experience comes from that to be in my morning to pray my day with an intention of more light more love more peace more joy, I send you both my deepest heartfelt appreciation for sharing your experience through this video.
