These medicines like cacao, tobacco, and others have been making their way into the hearts of people around the world. But with that comes the question:
​How do we walk with respect, authenticity, and awareness, especially when these traditions are not directly ours?

​

In this 2-hour gathering, we’ll sit together with the medicine of cacao and explore:

🌿 What it means to honor sacred plants beyond appropriation and guilt

🌎 How to walk in integrity whether your roots are Indigenous, Mestiza, or European

🔥 The difference between “using” and being in relationship with the medicine

💧 How to let these plants deepen your personal healing — not just your facilitation

​

Barbara brings her lived experience as a Mestiza woman of Andean descent, born between Ecuador and New York, bridging Indigenous teachings from the Amazon and a trauma-informed lens. This circle is both a teaching and a ceremony, a chance to listen, reflect, and remember.

​

🕯️ Come with an open heart. Leave with clarity, reverence, and deeper relationship.
