I can't wait for you to take in the rich, chocolatey nourishment from today's guest, self-empowerment artist, and cacao ceremony facilitator, Florencia Fridman.  Florencia fed her lifelong passion and divine connection to cacao (the purest form of chocolate) by studying its metaphysical properties and ritual practices in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. She started her conscious brand, Cacao Laboratory, in 2016. Despite the recent commercialization of the plant, Florencia's mission has always been rooted in reverence to its indigenous history and its power as a heart-opening portal to the spiritual realm. We talk about cacao's components in great depth and I encourage listeners to watch her enthralling documentary, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mr1_8ndB0I&fbclid=IwAR19F9Uvo0kO57tPkxnttDehCSr10oVYbhYkMG85ehkS-5wTn68X6m4bj8Y (Cacao: Food of the Gods), as well as follow her guidance on how to sit with the medicine – which she generously shares in this episode.  Like myself, Florencia connects to her higher self through direct reciprocity to Mother Earth's land and creatures. She asks what the land needs and communes with indigenous tribes to ensure her work creates a conscious, circular economy that goes back to the communities, teachers, and environment from which these marvelous medicines and rituals come. Stay tuned to hear about the foundations and collectives you can support should you feel called to do so.  The Ceremonial Offering During this beautiful blessing, we invite you to take a drink of water, tea, or cacao and find a sacred pose as we show gratitude for the elements earth, fire, wind, and air, and connect these energies to our essence.  For those that feel called to meet their power animal, you will receive a video-guided, shamanic journey to activate your animal's message when you https://www.alysoncharles.com/animalpower (pre-order your copy of Animal Power: 100 Animals to Energize Your Life and Awaken Your Soul here.)

In January 2016, Florencia visited Lake Atitlan, Guatemala to study metaphysical practices. There, she was introduced to cacao during a ceremony led by a Mayan day-keeper, a guardian of Mayan wisdom. Florencia had a powerful and life-changing moment. She knew that she was the bridge between the Mayan elders and modern New Yorkers; and eventually the world.    With the guidance of Nana Marina Cruz, a Mayan wisdom keeper from the T'zutujil community in Guatemala, Florencia began her journey with cacao.    Florencia and her brother, Frederico, launched Cacao Laboratory with the intentions of community, connection, sustaining Mother Earth, and giving back to the farmers in South America.   In This Episode We Talk About: The course of events that led Florencia to Guatemala and finding the medicine of cacao. How she started offering cacao circles in NYC.  How cacao was a medicine that helped to heal her relationship with her brother, her co-founder, and family. What ceremony means to Florencia and why she wants you to have a ceremony in every moment of each day. The physical and spiritual benefits of ceremonial cacao.  How she was able to hold space for over 40+ people every day during shelter-in-place.

I met Florencia Fridman and Samira Wayu Asibakaashi in San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala, during the five day Wayeb celebration – a kind of a Mayan New Year, to put it short. I'll tell more about it in the short intro before our conversation, but here's short biographies by Florencia and Samira themselves: _________ Florencia Fridman is a self-empowerment artist working with heart opening therapies involving holistic nutrition, Ceremonial Grade Cacao, yoga, sound journeys, and breath work as instruments for transformation; creating a safe vessel for self exploration. She works with T'zutujil Mayan elders from Guatemala, has been working with rebirthing (a breathing modality) since the age of 8. She graduated from Laughing Lotus Yoga Center in 2013. Sine then she has been traveling internationally to places like Panama, Guatemala, Argentina, South Africa, and Croatia to share her passion for wellness and Cacao. Florencia has opened for Deepak Chopra, has shared Cacao with the Spotify team, and is a resident ceremonialist at the Assemblage in NYC. Co-Founder of Cacao Lab, a Ceremonial Cacao brand aiming to bridge the gap between the modern culture and the indigenous communities. _________ Samira has been raised and traveled through different parts of the world since she was born, from the jungle of south America in Venezuela and a small beautiful little island in the Mediterranean Greece, and then back to the exotic Caribbean were she created her first project of reforestation and conscious natural products: Gaia Earth Alchemy, a project based on the the tree of life Moringa Oleifera, Cacao and other special caribbean plant remedies. Since young age she always felt a deep connection to nature identifying herself with it, which gave her a reason to continue travelling and learning from different teachers and guides. From the Andean mountains to the volcanic lands of Guatemala, to European stone circles and back to the thick forests of the Amazon, learning from the ancients prayers and practices. She felt a deep inspiration to learn about Amazonian sacred plant medicines from indigenous leader and healer Benki Piyanko Ashaninka, with the vision of being a bridge of the ancient wisdom and knowledge keepers for the protection of nature and is inhabitants and expansion of consciousness. She has also been participating in very important annual gathering called Aniwa Gathering, an encounter of the wisdom keepers from different linages around the world. This gathering will happen again 3.-7. of June 2020. ▶ Popol Vuh – a text recounting the mythology and history of the Maya K'iche' people ▶ Meaning of Nawal - the day sign of the Mayan calendar ▶ Meaning of the Nawal 'Kawoq' ▶ Cacao Lab – Florencia's and her brother's company ▶ Cacao Lab on Instagram ▶ Cacoa Lab on YouTube ▶ Gaia Earth Alchemy – Naga Moringa tree project started by Samira ▶ Gaia Earth Alchemy on Instagram ▶ Asháninka people ▶ Pachamama Alliance ▶ Moringa oleifera: A review on nutritive importance and its medicinal application ▷ Maya Tz'utujil -seremoniakaakao Suomessa ▷ Fonto Radion t-paidat ja hupparit
