Chocolate Herbs?



Chocolate did you say?

How we all wish there were a goddess of chocolate, well, perhaps there is - hidden deep in the forests, patiently waiting to gift us with surreal suprises and decadent delights ever more moving our vision towards sustainable solutions.

Cocoa, the primary ingredient in chocolate, has been revered for centuries for its many properties. Its first use dates back 3000 years to the Olmec Indians of Mexico. The organic cocoa in ChocaMaca™ is collected in South America and the Caribbean as part of an Eco-Trade™ program that pays farmers a premium price. This program helps support the farmers’ communities and encourages sustainable organic agriculture.

Where did the magic go?



Magic. Yes, indeed these plants show remarkable potential, with so much we do not understand about these powerful medicinal teachers, how then can we possibly

disregard their powerful lessons by rampaging through the forest searching for petrochemical deposits that only further justify destructive behavioral practices?


Here, we have a very common textile drawn while under the influence of plant consciousness. A Shaman artist will typically spend hours in trance working in cooperation with others to bring into the physical world images shown to her by these ever more remarkable master teachers of the rainforest.
