Woah!! it is only 9 July and my heart is already bursting!
Happy 9 July! what a month this week has been! I am beyond walking on the moon and am somewhere out in Alpha Centauri, swimming amongst the stars catching light waves and riding them back to earth. this week has been filled with the most amazing experiences. first, I was blessed with co-creating “harness your Dragon” with Denise Panner from Divine intentions healing and sharing it with 6 of the most amazing goddesses. I was also blessed to do a soul retrieval experience with denise and finally after a month of pouring my heart into befriending an injured kitty in my neighborhood, he was brought to me and I am grateful to say he is expected to make a full recovery with maybe only a slight limp in the end. he is the sweetest snuggly boy. I am honored to be able to support him physically and energetically as he heals his body.
harness your dragon - a ritual of wild power where we cracked the shell that holds us back and birthed our dragon power into being.
my sun soldiers are so powerful again this year, their beauty is staggering and all of their friends are truly holding me in the most beautiful light while I sit with grandmother cacao in the garden. even on a cloudy day like today I can’t help but grin from ear to ear at their gloriousness.
I'm hoping they will still be big and beautiful for the cacao and creation: intuitive painting experience on Sunday, July 19th with Sandy eckert. I think they will provide a lot of inspiration to those not looking to create the perfect painting but to explore and experience fun through the intuitive flow of what their souls wish to paint.

the cacao dimension will be at the Positive touch healing center customer appreciation and open house celebration on July 18th from 10 am - 3 pm; we will be sampling intentional cacao, selling chocolate bars, experiential essences created with cacao infused brandy and rose quartz. we have several types that evoke beautiful connections - sisterhood, joyful and community to name a few as well as some burn blends and foot soaks created with cacao shells. I really hope to see you there.
we have so many exciting things still going on in July, I hope you will check out our gatherings page and find something that speaks to you and makes you want to hang out with grandmother cacao and I. we have the best conversations and brainstorming sessions as we come up with reasons to gather in circle and enjoy each other’s company. we try to keep everything easy, relatable and fun while giving ourselves permission to really open our hearts and embrace our truths in the most gentlest ways.
our next gathering is our “walkabout wednesday” wednesday, July 15th for a walk along the Lehigh river in Laurys Station. we meet at 10, walk along the water in between the trees, across the rocks and over the moss until we find a spot that pleases us and then we cop a squat, share some cacao and just enjoy the time beside the river. I will warn you in advance, laughing often occurs while we are together, so please come prepared.
while we have beautiful and amazing gatherings you will want to enjoy, grandmother cacao and I are working on a couple epic experiences. first, we are offering our first weekend retreat in Atlantic highlands, nj and visiting one of my favorite beaches for “autumn by the sea” - the perfect chance to relax, visit the beach for sunrise cacao meditations and evening fire rituals. then, after at least 2 years of dreaming, we are offering an incredibly special showing of the movie “Chocolat” in the form of a Matinee and maker’s market featuring a few local and carefully curated artisans along with a beautiful array of bean to bar chocolates created by me for you to enjoy while watching the movie.
while you can reserve your cottage for “autumn by the sea” now, tickets for “chocolat and Chocolates” - a matinee and maker’s market won’t be available until the full moon on Thursday, August 27th at 9:00 am. so, please set your Alarms because there will only be 50 reservations available with none being available at the door, unless of course you are Johnny depp or Juliette binoche. :)
another little thing I did in the spring that brought me great joy was to spend some time with the amazing, inspirational and magical zita christian discussing intentional cacao, ritual and my connection to her. If you’d like to give it a listen, you can find the podcast here at ritual recipes.
thank you for hanging out with me for a few minutes, maybe doing a little exploring around the website. things over there are changing so I hope you will visit often and maybe share it with friends that might be interested in hanging out with us sometime soon.
until we meet in person, I wish you boundless blessings and cacao kisses,
