I started my journey with cacao in 2020. My journey brought me to Galway by packing up and just leaving. Galway is medicine to me and it's where I would go to escape for breaks until I knew I had to be there in order to survive.
**New Poem on Saoró** A very timely poem for this time of year from Siân
You Can’t Pour from an Empty Cup By Siân Williams @satnamtherapy
“In the rush of life, we often forget To pause, to breathe, and simply reset. We give and we give, till there’s nothing to spare, Leaving ourselves with hollowed-out care.
We try to be strong, to always show up, But you can’t pour from an empty cup. Your soul needs tending, your heart needs rest, For only then can you give your best.
So please take a moment, that’s just for you, To soak in the calm, to start anew. Fill your cup with kindness and peace, And watch as your worries begin to cease.
For the love you give is a radiant stream, But it must first flow from your own gleam. So nurture your spirit, don’t interrupt Because you can’t pour from an empty cup.”

**Welcoming the Winter Solstice** From the Saoró archives
“The winter solstice was one of the most important celebrations in the pre-Christian world. Across the Northern Hemisphere, there were ancient festivals that would mark the shortest day of the year when the sun appeared to “stand still.” Solstice is from the latin sōlstitium which translates as Sun stop or Sun still. Several of these festivals have survived to this day and others have been incorporated into modern festivals. Infact, the burning of the yule log, the bringing of trees in to homes were all pre-christian traditions, likewise the use of holly at this time of year was also a pre-christian tradition. The burning of the yule log was used as a ritual to cleanse the ancestral line, cleanse the living family and to bring good fortune. The Christmas tree (pine) was evergreen and believed to hold great strength as most of the other trees had all but died this time of the year but the pine remained strong and defiant through the cold winter. Likewise with Holly, this tree was also an evergreen tree and was known as a strong protector against beguiling ( curses) it would not let any unwanted negative energy or unwanted spirits in to the homes of the ancients. All the mentioned being pre-christian traditions brought from the old religion to the new religion. To this day these traditions are practised but very few are aware of the origins”
