- On Thursday, August 26, Escuela Caracol's staff gathered to celebrate a "Cacao Ceremony" were we shared a special moment and meditated about Escuela Caracol's current situation and future.
Interculturality is one of the main pillars of what we, as an institution, use as a base to nurture our students and community. Mayan Cacao Ceremonies come from ancient times, guided by the mesoamerican Wisemen. Its main objective is to re-connect the people with nature, with their insights, and with everything that surrounds them. Drinking Cacao in a proper concentration causes the body to find balance (blood pressure, relaxation, and sense of overall wellbeing are the most common effects), helping the person concentrate and achieve a more profound meditation state.
As an initiative of our Pedagogical Advisor, Gloria Elena Londoño, we held a special ceremony guided by Izaias S. Mendoza, a well known Mayan spiritual guide from San Marcos la Laguna. The objective was for our staff to re-connect with themselves, with their roots, and with the team. Escuela Caracol belongs to the community, and as a community, we are one; students, teachers, families, sponsors, donors, and neighbors, we are all part of the Escuela Caracol's family.
beautiful! I hope this sacred art continues and people keep it alive for future generations
That is exactly on of our goals, that's why we have the Mayan Cosmovision as one of our main Pilars where teaching, we are so glad you enjoyed it! To learn more about Escuela Caracol visit our site: www.escuelacaracol.org Greetings!
Beautiful!! I am learning to facilitate ceremony in the US and work with this medicine. I love working with children and am so inspired by Escuela Caracol. I plan to donate a portion of ceremony proceeds to this school when I begin to facilitate. ❤️ gracias!
It would be great if you donated all the proceeds and did this as a service and a way to bring balance and justice to all the injustices your European ancestors committed against native people. Time to stop the colonial shills!
that is a beautiful practice of sacred reciprocity❤ we are all one family of mother earth & finding a way such as this to truly honor ancient culture, community & connection, and to support ones own wellbeing with the intention of giving back with gratitude is powerful heart centered work❤
Thank you for sharing this short video and sharing with us how you are keeping the tradition alive.
Love and blessings to you all 🙏🏼
I am glad you are still continuing the ancient ways of honouring your ancestors.
The power of tradition is very felt. thanks for sharing the video.

Estoy muy agradesida encontrar este video hermoso.
I have been doing research and looking for the true recipe for ceremonial cacao.
Could you please share a recipe of how our ancestors made this drink?
I love this video 💗💗💗 i would love to help volunteer any way i can
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿‼️❣
Hermoso. ¿Acaso existen planes de fomentación para que no se pierda la tradición? Saludos.
Why do I get so GODDAMN depressed a couple of hours everytime after having cacao? Is this standard? Is it an indication I need to have more? What gives?
Come on people begin to do real native ceremony and create real community not just as a way for self-aggrandisement, profit and the objectification of sacred plants, sacred knowledge for mercantilistic ends. You can support the community and the world if you practice like Mayan people do as a community. New colonisers going around selling ceremony but not changing a bit the colonial mind set that makes business of everything native, set up businesses and companies and then they "donate a portion" of their profits to make themselves feel good and pacify their conscience. Shameful!!!
Well said...thank you
What is real native ceremony, and how can I learn more about it?
If the genuine native ceremony is lost then it's pretty hard to keep it perfectly original like how it used to be. Much was sadly lost over the centuries.
@@braumenheimer9607 Why would you want to learn about it, if you don't mind my asking? Curiosity or something else perhaps?
@@siervodedios5952 Do you believe or think is lost?
ponte el voz en puro espanol ,,,
Do you offer a cacao training?
I learnt to work with Cacao with Keith, the Chocolate shaman in Guatemala. I believe this is where Izaias S. Mendoza, leading this ceremony in the video also learnt about working with Ceremonial Cacao - I highly recommend working with Keith. You can find him by searching Keith's Cacao :)
@@LisaFearon I highly doubt Izaias, a Mayan, learned from a white man. This is a mayan tradition so please enlighten me - how did a white man teach a mayan man about his own culture??????? I've heard atrocities about Keith and his exploitation of the Mayan community he learned from, not the other way around!
