WE DID IT 🙌🏽🤎⤵️

Our vision to offer Youth Empowerment Program through Cacao at Pilopaso Chocolate Haus happened last week, in Honiara - Solomon Islands 🇸🇧
We had 2 schools visit us one was an international school 57 students who are studying agricultural and business and the other was a local school with 35 students.

Our vision is supporting the next generation in connecting with cacao, learning about the story, health benefits, preservation, and building a community based on support, trust, and fair trade.
Through educational programs, direct involvement, and a commitment to transparency, we aim to empower young individuals to become advocates for sustainable cacao farming and active participants in the community.

We wish not only to provide knowledge but also to empower youth in connecting with their potential and manifesting their dreams.

We look forward to sharing more of this training across the Islands and the world 🌍 ✨

Thank you for everyone who supported me in raising funds to make this happen!

Giulia traveled to the Solomon Islands and brought back CACAO.
I arrived in New Zealand singing to it.

Two different paths, one plant. And it’s not the only seed that binds us: many of us are updating beliefs on this planet, together.

Giulia tells me something that weighs on her: how the industry separated the cocoa butter (the white part) from the powder (the brown part), added sugar and additives, and called it a dozen different names.

But the medicine, however minimun, is still there.

This seed has been in the Amazonian jungle for 6,000 years. Today it arrived fresh from the Solomon Islands 🌀 , and before we drink it, we sing to it. We sing a song by Miguel Molina, a Peruvian singer who also planted songs like seeds.

I sang this same song to my mother at her funeral. She’s no longer here in physical form, but the maternal takes many shapes 🌱. Cacao knows this. The farmers know it. Those who resell the cacao paste know it too.

Thank you, Cacao, for your long journey to this moment.
Cleanse us. Heal us. 🤎

Special credits to: CasaNui, Dinny for be a weaver (and being in the background in creative duties) and Nico from far away for leaving his guitar available😅😘🎶✨

I have always felt called to move between worlds.

Between lands, cultures, people and stories.

There is a deep curiosity to understand what connects us — what we can learn from one another, and what becomes possible when we meet with an open heart.

Cacao has become one of the threads weaving these worlds together for me and it reminded me that ceremony doesn’t always need to be a circle.

It doesn’t always need a beautiful altar, a special song, or a designated time to stop everything and become present.

Ceremony is simply life.

It is the hands that come together to do the work.

The person who shares what they have.

The laughter in between the hard moments.

The knowledge passed from one person to another.

The way people show up for each other, day after day.

And here, I have been remembering that cacao doesn’t need to take us somewhere outside of life.

Cacao is here to bring us more deeply into it.

Into the Earth.

Into relationship.

Into gratitude.

Into the ordinary moments that we sometimes forget are extraordinary.

Because what is ceremony if not an opportunity to honour what is already here?

To honour the people beside us.

To honour the land that feeds us.

To celebrate who we are.

And to remember that we don’t walk this Earth alone.

This is what my journey with cacao has really been teaching me.

That ceremony isn’t something we create to escape from everyday life.

Ceremony is learning to meet everyday life with reverence.

every day is an invitation to come back to the ceremony of being alive. 🤎🌊 by @onda.evolution

During a recent ceremony, as I received the medicine of Cacao and dropped deeply into listening, I was shown the warm, confident heart of a Lion.

A heart that holds courage.
A heart that keeps the vision open.
A heart that leads from love, rather than fear.

And within that heart, I saw souls weaving together — each bringing their own unique gifts, medicine, skills and lived experiences in support of a greater kaupapa.

This is what I feel is happening with the journey Agnes and I have begun with the youth of the Solomon Islands. 🌺

We have started bringing our unique gifts together, and honestly, there are still so many unknowns.

I don’t know exactly how this vision will unfold.
I don’t know who will weave with us along the way.
I don’t know how the vision will continue to morph, expand and surprise us.

But I trust.

I trust that when the intention is held in integrity, the right people, opportunities and teachings can find their way into the weaving.

And for me, an important part of this integrity is holding a relationship of appreciation for Cacao, rather than appropriation — listening to its stories, honouring where it comes from, and allowing it to guide us towards connection rather than ownership.

There has already been so much weaving to make this journey back to Solomon Islands possible. From guidance, introductions, encouragement, financial support and so many forms of unseen and seen generosity — I am deeply, deeply grateful. 🤎

Thank you to everyone who has believed in this vision, supported it, shared it, contributed to it or simply held it in your heart.

And if Cacao is connected to you in any way, this is my wish for you:

May you pause and listen to the wisdom it carries.

No matter where your Cacao comes from, may you take the time to listen to its story, honour its origins, and allow yourself to be inspired by what it invites you to contribute.

Because perhaps the medicine is not about what Cacao can give us…

but about what it can awaken through us.

May we each bring our unique gift to the weaving.
May we remember that we are part of something bigger.
And may we continue choosing connection, reciprocity, appreciation by @onda.evolution

Invitation: Use this audio to create your own self-love reel.

Loving myself has been a journey.

Since the moment I chose to truly know myself, I never looked back. It hasn’t been an easy road, but it has been one of the greatest teachers of my life.

Every layer I’ve uncovered, every uncomfortable truth, every crack my heart has felt has become an invitation to grow — to soften, to remember, and to let life bloom through me in all its beauty. 🌱

And somewhere along the way, I found the deepest truth of my own path: that the love I’ve learned to cultivate within myself is not only for me.

It is what allows me to be in service — to hold space, walk alongside, and support others in remembering the love that already lives within them.

I don’t have it all figured out.
I’m simply choosing, again and again, to meet myself with love.

And that, for me, is the journey. 🤍 by @onda.evolution

Meditative Art at @correctionsnz ✨Gratitude

We complete this week two of our programmes offered at Auckland Prison and MECF with the support of @artscultureakl and in collaboration with New Zealand Howard League For Penal Reform 🙏

This has been an incredible opportunity and unique privilege to have accompanied our participants to journey within themselves, expressing their creative selves and listening to their vulnerable sharings. 🤩
This time in particular also marked the possibility of coming back to co-facilitate spaces with @onda.evolution in the most powerful and deepest possible way as we both navigate together alongside one another for our personal and professional growth. 💪

These are some of the valuable testimonials we have received to enrich our souls and motivate us to continue with our purpose to contribute to life through creativity for our individual and collective wellbeing. 🥰

⭐️“Finding another way to look at myself could open my mind to look at the world differently.”

⭐️“It gives me the opportunity to slow down and contribute with others in a positive environment and like minded relationships and interactions.”

⭐️“This is a wonderful program that enables us to be vulnerable and discover new things about ourselves.” by @onda.evolution
