Cacao Mama is a keeper of the messages of Cacao. We honour Cacao as a teacher, spiritual being and collective, who carry the blueprint of Sacred Origin. Cacao Mama thrives to be in right relationship with the Earth; in service to an invisible harmony, to anchor the codes for a heart-centred consciousness and rekindle the fire of the heart to open for deep celebration. We welcome you into our sacred Cacao space. 

This time last year, I reported on Huaca Montegrande – together with the Cacao family, we raised $60,000 to continue work on the world's oldest known Cacao temple. Thanks to our support, Quirino Olivera and the ASICAMPE team were able to continue their excavations – and the progress they have made is truly impressive.

Now, Olivera and his team have reached the original stones at the heart of the spiral, placed there over 5,000 years ago – stones that tell the living history of the sacred origins of Cacao. Beneath layers of red clay, each stone reveals another chapter – a story that could change our understanding of Cacao’s role in human history. To continue the excavations and documentation, and to support the small team on site, the project now needs $30.000 (€25,800). If you would like to make a donation, click here or continue reading

Cacao Gardener is a not-for-profit initiative founded by Cacao Mama students to journey into the heart of the sacred forest and to bring greater awareness to the source of the sacred Cacao Spirit. The Cacao Gardener's mission is to learn from the cacao tree and nurture all stages of planting, growing and harvesting to serving the heart-opening medicine "in ceremony"

My name is Serap Kara, and I’m the founder and guardian of Cacao Mama, the Earth School & the Cacao Gardener Initiative. My medicine heart beats in rhythm with Pachamama and the heart of the forest. I walk the path of a medicine woman, educator, alchemist, moon dancer, and midwife to a heart-centred consciousness, one that calls to be anchored as a timeline. In service to the Cacao Collective for 14 years, I'm weaving the Cacao medicine with respect and integrity.  I love to create finely tuned spaces that enable us to root into trust and receive permission from ancestral and spiritual realms, so that we remember our natural state of Spirit connection and the way of ceremony to be in service to a greater harmony.
