Sacred Cacao's Transformative Properties for Women with Gabrielle Martorana

May 25

Raise your hand if you start your day with a cup of coffee. ☕️

Now, did you know that coffee is associated more with masculine drive while there is another drink that's associated with the divine feminine?

That drink is cacao. (And yes, it's different from chocolate!)

My guest, Gabriela Martorana, went from Southern California hustle culture to living the life of a digital nomad. And while she was on her healing journey, she encountered sacred cacao and she's now on a mission to help more women use cacao as a way to move out of the thinking linear mind and into the flow and trust of the body.

BE PREPARED TO LEARN:

The history of cacao (and how it's different from chocolate)
How Sacred Cacao was the surprise Gabrielle didn't expect on her own healing journey
The effects of cacao on the "you got this, boss babe!" female business culture
Creating intention and ritual around cacao at home

Originally from Southern California with a background in Marketing & Entrepreneurship, Gabrielle started in corporate America until she woke up one day and realized that this was not what she wanted her life to be like for the next 50+ years: feeling like her value was completely dependent on her outputs and how "successful" she could be. Gabrielle has been a business owner for the past six years as well and has attacked "success" from two angles. The first from hustle, pressure, pushing, competition, fear, and finally burnout. The second from ease, creativity, rest, and flow with inspired action and dedication (the latter coming after a very deep healing journey). Gabrielle has spent the last four years traveling the world and learning from sacred Wisdom Keepers. She has studied the ancient practices and rituals of cacao and somatic healing from a Mayan Shaman in Guatemala, a Womb Healer in Bali, and a Cacao Priestess in the Dominican Republic. She brings together these ancient teachings in ceremony and ritual, and online workshops, interweaving the old and new traditions, practices, and teachings. She also brings sacred cacao to the USA from Bali and Guatemala teaching people how to deeply connect with this sacred plant medicine.
