🪷 Simply Spiritual Healing Cacao 🪷

Born from the sacred soils of Ecuador’s coastal region, this cacao carries the ancestral lineage of Nacional, one of the world’s oldest and most revered cacao varietals. With roots stretching back thousands of years to the first cacao cultivators of the Upper Amazon, Nacional is more than a bean — it is a bridge between the ancient and the present, between the Earth and the heart. ♥️

Our Cacao is grown in biodiverse agroforestry by a small family-run farm, where each pod is hand-harvested with care and devotion. This is not industrial cacao — it is living medicine, tended in rhythm with nature’s cycles and offered in the spirit of reverence. ☀️

Energetically, this cacao holds a gentle strength. She is a calm companion — warm, nourishing, and open-hearted. Where some cacaos may stir deep purging or shadow work, this one meets you softly.

She helps you return to the breath, to the simplicity of being, to the quiet beauty of presence.

Ideal for devotional practice, gentle movement, singing, and sacred sharing, her energy is grounding, steady, and deeply kind. ❤️

With every sip, you are not only receiving a sacred plant — you are communing with the spirit of lineage. With the wisdom of the land and the hands that have lovingly shaped her path.

She connects you back in the cyles of nature with every sip, reminding you of the presence of Pachamama with every sip. A true medicine for the modern day awakening soul.

Available on our website:
100g - £9
200g - £16
500g - £36
1kg - £54

On the 22nd of July I am holding a mens circle at Appletree Community Garden, looking forward to running this outdoors sitting around the fire.

The price is either £5 or £10 to make it as affordable as possible and if you arent in a position to pay just get intouch with me Shambho Paul Makinson and we can sort it out.

Really just wanting this to be a place where theres as little pressure as possible just to be, and be around men that are wanting to work on themselves whether thats for their mental, physical or spiritual health, and not so much the spiritual as in pulling cards and crystals but working on aspects of ourselves taht help us to deepen into our own presence and understanding of who we truly are and what we aspire to be. Simple breathing techniques, easy mediation, uplifting and inspiring conversation and hopefully some live music and if people want to share their talents or creativity then making space for that too.

Men’s Circle – Wakefield 27/5/25 A space for men to gather, connect, and simply be. In a world full of pressure, fast-paced living, and constant doing, many men find themselves without a place to land. We often outgrow the pub or leave behind old habits, but what replaces them? Where do we go to...

There is no feeling I love MORE than seeing the transformation of a person in the space of 2 hours.

This is something we get to witness more so than anything in else in our service.

Imagine this.... someone arrives at a Kirtan having never attended anything remotely like it before, filled with anxiety and trepidation, hoping there will be a spot right at the back against the wall where they will feel unseen, unheard and overall -- safe.

2 people they have never met are talking about magic chocolate and mystical mantras.

It's all a bit weird but they don't leave. They choose to stay.

The harmonium drone begins and they're handed a cup of warm cacao, its bitter but not too much. Just the right amount for it not to be just a hot choccy.

The opening mantras start and as everyone around them drinks their cacao, they start to drink her too.

The mantras, the music, the voices, the cacao all begin to work together and the anxiety starts to slowly dissolve as something else enters.

The singing begins and all of a sudden the whole room begins singing together in unison.

They have never been in a room full of singing people since they left primary school.

The sound is so beautiful.

The feeling even more so.

They open their mouth to sing and find that they can only hum.

So they hum as loud as they can. Until something else happens. Something enters the room. A presence of pureness and love.

She envelops everyone in their with her love after hearing her name being sang from their hearts. She takes away that niggling fear in their minds and creates the space for their voices to rise.

They start to sing. They sing loudly and beautifully in tune because the whole room is on the same divine vibration.
They didn't even know they COULD sing.

The tears start to fall, softly, gently. The smile erupts so their teeth show when they sing proudly.

They are finally free.

So when we say it is our deepest honour to open the space for you all at our kirtans, this is why. Because we get to witness the true power of bhakti for EVERYONE as we sing into your hearts from the front.

Never above or below. Always equal.

Next kirtan coming up today !

When Practice Feels Hard (because it WILL!)

In our community recently, we have been experiencing a collaborative trigger of resistance. (this is what I LOVE about working together in com-unity)

When the resistance rose towards the practice we had set within each of us, instead of hiding from it and letting the ego take control, we did something else.

We sat in it. In the depths of the resistance.

We learned from it, and what we learned turned out to be EXACTLY what we needed to hear for our individual and collective growth.

So, if you have started a spiritual or daily practice recently, or fallen off the sadhana wagon and know its time to get back on, know that it is ok to have difficulties.

In fact, its as much of a n important part of the practice to have difficulties to face during, otherwise we would never learn of our inner strength, as we wouldn't be able to use it in that way.

Don't hide from the resistance, get curious and invite some of yourself to surrender to it.

And if you feel you want that extra external support from a beautiful community of likeminded people, we're here when you're ready 🥰

Just drop us a DM for more info

Ahimsa (Non-violence) as a Practice

The words we speak to ourselves often go unnoticed...

Ahimsa, the first of the Yamas in the Yoga Sutras, is often understood as non-harming — but this precept goes far beyond physical violence. It is a guide that can be a powerful tool in expanding your awareness… inwardly and outwardly. To allow you to pause before you speak. To notice the edges of your thoughts. To bring more gentleness and compassion into the unseen spaces.

🕊 In my own life lately, I've been noticing a lot of reactive inner speech. Finding myself on a reel of negative thoughts at least once a day, which leaves me feeling exhausted afterwards.

🕯 When I slow down, I ask myself - "Where is this rooted within myself?" Often negative thoughts about other people or scenarios are reflections of something happening internally.

🌸 Practising Ahimsa here for me looks like taking a calming breath, bringing the thoughts back to one thought (mantra) and taking time for self reflection to observe what is happening within me.

Ahimsa isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s as simple as unclenching the jaw, softening the heart, and remembering that we are all learning.

What does Ahimsa look like in your inner world today?

Let this be a gentle invitation to explore…

Jai Ma. 🤲
