As part of my cacao training, I was invited into a 13-day cacao dieta. Sitting with her every morning. Returning to the same space, again and again. I already had a relationship with cacao before that, but this deepened it, and uncovered a deep devotion, a softness in how I met my time. A kind of excitement to simply sit and be there. That feeling stayed.
It became my favourite part of the day, and has become a space I return to when things feel unclear or noisy. And also the place where my work truly begins. Not on my laptop, but there, with myself in presence.
People often reflect my consistency back to me how devoted I am to my rituals. And for a long time, I thought that was natural for everyone. Until I realised how many of us have lost that kind of connection with ourselves. This is why this space exists. Not to add more pressure, but to return to what changes everything, and allowing us to be women – cyclical, devotional, creative.
