Period is Power

Cacao is a powerful heart medicine, so it is no wonder why so many people have been drawn to drinking Her spirit through these times in our world of massive transformation. Christine Olivia Hernandez joins us this week to share about her unique Maltyox Method of drinking cacao which we particularly love because she really bridges the connection of this medicine with the ~whole body~ through dance and embodiment as you drink the cacao! In this episode we explore questions like: What messages and insights does the Spirit of Cacao wish to share with us today? And how can we be receiving this medicine in a way that honors the plant and the peoples from which she comes from? As a descendant of Mayan-Guatemalan ancestors from where this medicine originates, Christine Olivia Hernandez is here to share the spirit of cacao with as many people as she can in a way that honors and maintains the sacredness of this plant, the wisdom keepers, and to bring in the essence and embodiment of GRATITUDE with her Maltyox Method.We are so honored and excited to share that Christine Olivia will be joining us at the October Yoni Temple Immersion in Topanga, Ca to offer her unique Maltyox Method!
