The Cacao Experience
Saoró’s Cacao Facilitator Training Program
In this comprehensive program, we will embark on a journey exploring the sacred and transformative qualities of Cacao, as well as develop the necessary skills and knowledge to guide others in their own Cacao experiences.
Cacao, also known as the “food of the gods,” has been used for centuries in ceremonial and spiritual practices. It has the power to open our hearts, expand our consciousness, and deepen our connection with ourselves and the world around us. As a Cacao facilitator, you will have the opportunity to share this ancient wisdom and facilitate profound healing and transformation for others
NEW LOTUS / ROSE TINCTURE RANGE
Blue Lotus & Damask Rose Tinctures
Immerse yourself in the healing power of flowers with a range of tinctures developed by Agata, the Extravaganga for Saoró.
Blue Lotus — revered for centuries in Egypt & used in ritual to meditate, connect with higher realms & stimulate inner vision.
Damask Rose, with its rich connection to love & divine femininity, supports union with your higher self & the universal energies that fill your heart.

Cacao has been a very gentle and subtle teacher, however when needed, packs a punch! It has been extremely emotional. Sitting with Cacao has helped me give myself permission to stop. To listen. To feel. To learn. To trust and to love… myself.

When I began holding Cacao ceremonies myself, I found that the guided meditations would pour through me effortlessly — as though her spirit was speaking through me, like a river of wisdom and story.

As a young man growing up in the west of Ireland I had shut down my feeling heart, it was too painful. Nothing dramatic but a consistent stream of “big boys don’t cry, get up and get on with it, don’t be a soft lad, toughen up...
Introducing South American Shamanic Waters
Saoró is delighted to present a range of Shamanic Waters for individual & group ceremonial use. Used for generations by the Shamans of South America in ceremony and in healing rituals, these waters can act as an aid to open or close sacred space, to clear heavy energy, as protection, as a blessing, to give thanks, to welcome abundance and luck into your life.

He Didn’t Hit Me
By @emzykate.91
He Didn’t Hit Me
He didn’t hit me, but his words cut like a knife,
He didn’t hit me, but he upended my life.
He didn’t hit me, but he made false accusations,
He didn’t hit me, but he had unreasonable expectations.
He didn’t hit me, but destroyed my hopes & dreams,
He didn’t hit me but ripped my confidence at the seams.
He didn’t hit me, but I always had to take the blame,
For his shortcomings, moods & his manipulative game.
Abuse isn’t just physical, this I know to be true,
Gaslighting & manipulation are powerful tools,
Knowing I deserve better, I am finally free,
For I am much more than what he tried to make of me.

How Much Is Enough?
By @_yogafairy_
How much is enough?
Is ‘much’ many and enough a lot?
Feels like much can be so heavy, while enough is just the right amount.
Enough is enough, or sometimes it’s not.
Too much love, too much hate, too much difference, too much fate.
Emotions can become intense.
Especially if for the other they make no sense.
Pain as the indicator for experience.
Pain reaches the point of enough, while something painful is just too much.
Caused by nothing less than human touch.
From it being so much it becomes just enough.
Was it all imagined, just a grand schemed bluff?
We had enough once we had too much.
Was it then too much or actually too little?
The moment we realize, it becomes so brittle.
Brittle is fragile, broken and cracked,
Not remembering it’s just the patterns we stacked.
We stacked on top of each other like our biggest treasure.
In the window of our soul, put in perfect display.
Perfectly decorated, like a blossoming tree in May.
If it would have been enough, why is letting go then so tough? (Continued in the comments)

Into the sea
By Emma Lynch
@emmalynchpsychotherapy
If there’s no room on the land,
Then I’ll move to the beach,
Her waters will take me,
Float off out to the sea.
Crash on over my body,
Take me under the waves,
I can deal with the pressure,
I’ll make friends with the plaice.
They’ll wonder at my decision
To move out into the sea,
But what choice do I have,
I can’t afford this city.
So I’ll let her embrace me,
Sink low into the dark,
Make a garden of seaweed,
Meet a new kind of shark.
I expect many will follow,
Me out into the sea,
Cause where else can I go,
When there’s no home here for me?

Poetry month continued with an incredibly powerful reading by Gordon McCormack @humdeedrum of his poem Stoic it to the man .
This poem is so heartening and so needed. Thank you Gordon ❤️
"I`ve heard common sense aint so common no more
Subtle manipulation not subtle anymore
Just how many flogs and curbs do we need
Before we accept that we`re governed by greed
Are you asking the questions that need to be asked
Are you busy with life are you holding steadfast
Who`s in your corner and what`s up the road
Are you sick of the fighting it`s sure getting old
Everything`s a rich mans game
The finger is blind but it knows who to blame
Narratives muddy the waters once clear
Brother and sister won`t heed eye nor ear
Your dinners gone cold cabáiste dubh
You sift through the sog you`re lookin for love
Black taste in your mouth and the throat has gone dry
Not a tooth in your head and an eye for an eye
But who`s around the table now
Broken homes and a slaughtered sow
No matter what side of the fence you are on
we live on the same street when will we cop on
Let`s commune at tea
A cup for you and a cup for me
Together our cups are flowing free
When we Stoic it to the man
We can Stoic it to the man
And they`ll run for the hills just as fast as they can
We can show them the power we hold in our hands
Arm in arm the people we stand
We can turn it around yes I KNOW that we can
DO NOT COMPLY with the bounding of man
Man OR Woman of sovereign birth
We were meant for much more WE inherit the earth
The division bell rings out loud for you
My ears are banging I`m hearing it too
The perils of perception have split us in two
Now we`re at loggerheads and faces are blue
The Greed of man is so plain to see
But I see a way out will you listen to me
Whether you walk on the left or you lean to the right
Doesnt matter to me no I dont give a shite
We all have a heart yeah it beats in your chest
Take a look In my eyes we can drop all the rest."

Ode to Maureen
By Joachim Hein (2020)
Heaven’s not withdrawn,
Though clouds may cover blue,
On every new days dawn,
Discover what is true.
Heaven’s not quite lost,
Yet often hard to find,
The sleaze of mankind’s homemade fog,
Lays blindfolds on your mind.
Heaven’s not a rumour,
A dream reworked to fit,
Just try to see with eyes unspoiled,
Your standing right in it.
(thank you to @salannnatalun for kindly sharing this poem & photo for April poetry month)
