Life can be a little crazy sometimes, right? What if a daily cup of chocolate could change that?

With Cacao becoming more and more of a hot topic/trend in the Western world, Danielle sought out one of her friends and Cacao stewards, Rene Tonalli to share what all the fuss is about, what makes Cacao so powerful and why we should care.

Rene has a deep understanding about the science, sacredness and spirituality of Cacao and other plant medicines from years of studying, living and volunteering with indigenous communities deep in the Amazon jungle and beyond.

After leaving her life in California at 20 yrs old, and setting out on a soul searching adventure, Rene found herself living with indigenous communities deep in the Amazon, and returned months later from the jungle with a new found connection to herself and greater understanding of Mother Earth, equipped with sacred tools for dealing with life’s crazy pressures, frantic pace and noise that disconnects us.

Danielle and Rene were housemates while both living in Costa Rica and having always admired the way Rene interacted with food/plants as medicine and her knack with natural healing remedies from the Earth, Danielle sits down to hear some more about Rene’s wisdom, adventures and the power of cacao.
