Cosmic Expansion Through Mama Cacao

Cacao is a cosmic Mother spirit, so gently nurturing us to open our hearts and see what's beyond our current beliefs and stories. We will be connecting, daily, to this beautiful Plant Medicine while out in nature, and sharing sacred Cacao offerings to Mother Earth, throughout the islands! 

Cosmic Wisdom Through Psilocybin

Psilocybin guides us beyond beliefs. Immersed in nature, we transcend limits, unveiling insights, healing, and unity. These mushrooms are portals to mystical realms, expanding consciousness.
