    20. Raw Real Life Stories and Returning Home to Love; a very personal heart share with Pania Joy

    Pania gets personal! In this episode I share: - My confusing upbringing being exposed to a very mixed bag of spirituality. - I spoke about losing my mum in my twenties,  -  Going through a divorce in my 30’s.  - I also delve into my  personal challenges with self worth and self expression.  - I share my own healing journey and how at times I’ve truly found it hard to know my way and to even know what I believe.  - I share some of how I came home to myself and of course, how cacao has supported me in what became a journey of self acceptance, of self love.  This one feels vulnerable, and I’m tender towards sharing it, but I also really wish to, these are stories that my heart wants to share, and I am grateful to you and honoured if you listen in.  Recently I sat down one afternoon at my cacao altar, with Tui birds singing outside my window and recorded this intimate episode for you.  It starts off with a little update chat And after that I open up,  to share stories from some of my bigger life experiences. For this episode I was drinking Arhuaco Cacao with honey, cinnamon and a touch of chilli powder! This is a really special cacao, grown in the mountains of Colombia and brought to us by Kakao Drinking Chocolate. I loved the way the Arhuaco goodness supported me in feeling relaxed enough to get vulnerable and personal in this episode.  And I’d like to invite you to make a cup of cacao for yourself also to tune in with my stories here, if you haven’t already.  Imagine we are sitting together, cosy and relaxed, drinking  sharing from our hearts....

    19. Cacao as a Portal to Prayer, in Lake Atitlan with Andrew Burrows

    I’m SO happy to bring you this very sweet and touching conversation today with my friend Andrew Burrows, who tuned in all the way from Guatemala, while at the very special & beloved Lake Atitlan.  The time flew by as we shared heart felt stories about cacao, stories about Keith Wilson of Keith's cacao, which was very touching. We tried to convey what we think Keith was up to (!?!) & what we have both learned from him. We talked about Lake Atitlan, about Andrew’s journey of weaving cacao into his life and his many creative endeavours. Andrew is like the embodiment of being a human with many talents.  He brings his magic into the world through music, the healing arts, food creation and of course cacao.  He is a ceremony facilitator, also known as DJ Aguacate, he DJ’s cacao ecstatic dance, offers Thai massage, water massage, and also Kundalini Activation ceremonies. Among other creative offerings. His opening meditation is truly heart warming. We hope you will join us for it and for this beautiful conversation.  In this episode I was drinking Keith’s Cacao,  Receive 5% discount on each purchase using this link ⁠⁠⁠http://www.keithscacao.com/discount/PANIAJOY20NZ20⁠⁠⁠ OR enter code at checkout on the Keiths Cacao Website.  Code: PANIAJOY20NZ20 Contact Andrew Burrows: Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/andrewavocados/ Website: https://burrowsa.wixsite.com/andrewavocados Email:  andrew.avocados@gmail.com Soundcloud Music: https://soundcloud.com/andrewavocados Go to Glow meditation with Keith Wilson remixed by Andrew: https://soundcloud.com/andrewavocados/go-to-glow-meditation-with-keith-wilson Rukuxulew: https://rukuxulew.com/ Podcast with Keith that we mentioned: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4kMrDSPNZDagHbg1tNRiHf?si=b5ea28bbd43342d5

    18. In Conversation With Water; with Shona & Ross of Source Water.

    How might we relate to water if we extend the same deep listening and respect we offer to cacao?  And how might our experience with cacao be enhanced if we give more awareness to the water we mix with it?  These questions are my ongoing inquiry as I bring this beautiful conversation about WATER to Loved by Cacao.  Shona and Ross of ‘Source Water’ share their incredible journey of becoming stewards of a very special water source and how this has changed their lives, their understanding of consciousness, and how it is bringing healing to many people.  I got to sit together with them on a hot summer afternoon outside next to their pool at their beautiful home in rural Auckland with the cicadas at their height and occasional bird song. They shared the trials they have been through with this water journey, the incredible insights they have learned from water, the science of this water and why it is so good for us, the spirituality and consciousness of water, and so much more.  I first learned about Source Water through water researcher Veda Austin, who is their water mentor. We mention her several times and I highly recommend checking out her work at https://www.vedaaustin.com/ To Connect with Source Water: https://www.nzsourcewater.com/ Instagram: @nzsourcewater https://www.instagram.com/nzsourcewater/ The Cacao we were drinking in this episode was Kakao Drinking Chocolate Chuncho Signature Blend For a one time 10% discount on this not for profit heirloom cacao use code LOVEDBYCACAO https://www.flykakao.com/?ref=pania Connect with Pania Email Pania: paniarobinson@gmail.com Follow Loved By Cacao Instagram: ⁠@lovedbycacao⁠ Thank you to Kamal Ortiz for creating the mini soundscape for Loved by Cacao!  Kamal is a DJ & medicine music weaver, find his music on Soundcloud⁠ https://on.soundcloud.com/xem5CT38SGxFQexa8⁠

    14. Magic Cacao Beans & Riding the Waves of Evolution with Giulia Mattioli of Onda

    Giulia passionately works with cacao beans making beautiful Cacao paste & has a vision of everyone having a sack of beans in their home and the skills to use them. She is a Life Guide and Wayfinder, supporting people in their journey to self-transformation & purpose, helping people ride the waves towards their visions.  And as she said there is always cacao involved.  She has had an appreciation for cacao since she was young. And her passion deepened after training with Oonagh from the Cacao Ambassador in 2021 which has led to a journey to connect with cacao farmers in the Solomon Islands and to support the vision of unity and sovereignty in the world of cacao.  When we spoke Giulia had just returned from 2 weeks in the Solomon islands working with Cacao farmer Agnes Pilopaso to inspire school students by sharing knowledge with them on Agnes Cacao farm.  Side note, you can hear Agnes story in Episode 6 along with Oonagh and Cacao farmer Grace.  Giulia was fresh back from this amazing experience  and it was wonderful to sit with her and hear all about it.  I went over to her place one Sunday afternoon where she brewed up an absolutely amazing decadent pot of thick creamy cacao.  And we sat at the altar together in front of the fireplace and enjoyed this cacao and heard her story.  So picture being in a cosy room in front of the fire with us with us while you listen.  Rain on the roof and fire crackling.  To get in touch with Giulia: Instagram: @onda.evolution Email: ondaevolution@gmail.com Phone: 0272679314 Loved by Cacao Instagram:⁠ ⁠@lovedbycacaco⁠⁠ Email: lovedbycacao@gmail.com A big thank you to Kamal Ortiz for creating the mini soundscape for Loved by Cacao! Kamal is a DJ & medicine music weaver, find his music on Soundcloud⁠⁠ ⁠https://on.soundcloud.com/xem5CT38SGxFQexa8⁠⁠⁠
