Feelings are our mind and body’s way of providing us with information. They act like an internal compass guiding us towards what feels safe, warning us when something is wrong, and motivating us to act when change is necessary.
'Cacao and Me Since 2023', It's been 2 years since I really began to connect with Mama Cacao. In that time my connection with her has ebbed and flowed.

Raika is a cacao facilitator, kundalini energy facilitator, pet bereavement coun sellor and artist. She began creating feather fan smudges this year. It all started during our cacao facilitator training in May and June. That training really changed my life in so many ways I never even dreamed of...
There’s more to your cup of ceremonial cacao than the act of making it from your chosen block or bar of cacao. The journey from the rainforests of Bali is part of the ceremony; you aren’t just consuming a drink, you are a participant in this journey.

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.
