How do I listen to my body in a world that moves at an unnatural speed? How do I relate to my body when all I feel is overwhelm or numbness? What can we learn from the Taurus archetype and why is it collectively activated right now?

I interviewed Verena Borell on why grounding is so essential, how we integrate it into our work + life and in which ways it challenges us.

Verena Borell lives in Austria and works with Evolutionary Astrology, the Akashic Records and somatic healing to accompany you in processes of de-conditioning, re-wilding, and healing.

You can book 1:1 Sessions with Verena, study Astrology with her or join her next online workshop: Rewilding with Earth Signs on 16 May (all offerings in English + German).

To join an online ritual with both of us, join the Cacao Spaces Membership for immediate access to new weekly sessions, live rituals and a video library of 60+ videos. On Tuesday 7 May, Verena Borell co–creates the next session with me, weaving exactly the topics we speak about in the episode into a body-love ritual with cosmic insights around the New Moon in Taurus + cacao, of course.

How is your dosage of ceremonial cacao related to the effect you get? What are my experiences in the ceremonies I offer on– and offline? Is it okay to have Cacao every day?

In this solo episode, I am sharing from my own observations of myself, my friends and those I work with. At all times, I hope my sharing lands well with you.

A loud environment full of chaotic impressions does not automatically need to mean overwhelm to your sensitive body. In my second solo episode, I am sharing from my own observation of myself, after attending two larger events and enjoying them deeply while staying in close connection to my body & needs at all times.

The journey with cacao spaces is not about unlocking more authenticity in yourself and a greater sensitivity of your body, so you have to stay away from parties or intense environments to protect yourself. In fact: that's a big misconception. So, in this podcast episode, I'm opening a space for a new possibility, maybe a playful experiment to stay in connection to your body – in the intimate & cozy spaces, and in the loud & highly-activating spaces, too. How does that feel?

+ 5min Opening Cacao Meditation with Jo

Feeling held and nourished on an emotional as well as a physical and spiritual level is a fundamental need in our human experience. In conversation with Jo, we're exploring how Cacao can help us create that held space and find back a balance between taking self-responsibility for our wellbeing as adults and still finding the softness & the receptivity in that.

As space holders & students of Mama Cacao, we found Cacao rituals to be embodiment practices of the archetype of the caring mother that nurtures, guides & mirrors you. In connecting with Cacao as a spiritual practice or mindfulness ritual, we can find back into wholeness & learn to intimately hold ourselves.

Jo is based in Cape Town (South Africa) where she offers Cacao & Breathwork Ceremonies with a Mayan cacao narrative. If you're based in South Africa, you can purchase Cacao Source's handcrafted Mayan cacao through her: @___held

In the Cacao Spaces membership, you will find a Cacao & Breathwork session co–created and guided by Jo & Naomi. The membership offers you a community to connect in a variety of cacao rituals each month as well as a video library with cacao meditations & recordings.

Jordan's cacao journey starts with her education in herbal medicine. She was studying in London, while working as a fashion model, too. After getting to know plant medicine in South America, cacao seems to be the most accessible one to share coming back to the big city. What starts as casual gatherings amongst friends, eventually evolves into The Cacao Club. Jordan shares about how cacao made her reclaim her authentic expression as well as a healthy relationship to food and eating.

The Cacao Club offers many resources & their beautiful disc selection on their website.

Space holders Stephanie Madrid & Naomi Hattler both discovered Cacao for themselves during the pandemic 2020, in Austria and in the US. Ceremonial Cacao makes us remember our need for connection and vulnerable, safe spaces. Globally, more and more people feel drawn to Cacao and new ways of living and being. We are sharing our observations on the times we live in and which role Cacao can play in it. In an intuitive conversation, we are drinking Cacao together while uncovering what qualities and insights Cacao has brought into our lives.

Since the first sip of ceremonial cacao I had two years ago, I experienced Cacao has a space. A space within me, a space to return to, a space for deeper connection.

In the first episode of Cacao Spaces, I am sharing how I have met Cacao, giving insights into the journey that is unfolding since then and the new way of being that is coming with it.
