Cacao Spaces

How do I listen to my body in a world that moves at an unnatural speed? How do I relate to my body when all I feel is overwhelm or numbness? What can we learn from the Taurus archetype and why is it collectively activated right now?

I interviewed Verena Borell on why grounding is so essential, how we integrate it into our work + life and in which ways it challenges us.

Verena Borell lives in Austria and works with Evolutionary Astrology, the Akashic Records and somatic healing to accompany you in processes of de-conditioning, re-wilding, and healing.

Befriending all the phases of life, especially the uncomfortable ones, is THE art of life, as that's the places where life can meet & teach us in its rawness.

A loud environment full of chaotic impressions does not automatically need to mean overwhelm to your sensitive body. In my second solo episode, I am sharing from my own observation of myself, after attending two larger events and enjoying them deeply while staying in close connection to my body & needs at all times.

The journey with cacao spaces is not about unlocking more authenticity in yourself and a greater sensitivity of your body, so you have to stay away from parties or intense environments to protect yourself. In fact: that's a big misconception. So, in this podcast episode, I'm opening a space for a new possibility, maybe a playful experiment to stay in connection to your body – in the intimate & cozy spaces, and in the loud & highly-activating spaces, too. How does that feel?

Feeling held and nourished on an emotional as well as a physical and spiritual level is a fundamental need in our human experience. In conversation with Jo, we're exploring how Cacao can help us create that held space and find back a balance between taking self-responsibility for our wellbeing as adults and still finding the softness & the receptivity in that.

Jordan shares about how cacao made her reclaim her authentic expression as well as a healthy relationship to food and eating.

Space holders Stephanie Madrid & Naomi Hattler both discovered Cacao for themselves during the pandemic 2020, in Austria and in the US.
