Lyrics:
Lyrics “Mama Cacao”

Chorus:

Spirit of Cacao I welcome you.
Mama Cacao I welcome you.
Spirit of Cacao I welcome you.
Mama Cacao I welcome you.

Verse:
Open my Heart for Love.
Open my Soul for this Life.
Guide me dancing on this sacred Earth.
Open me for the Divine.

Bridge:
I invite you to this circle of our tribe of love.
Sweetest Spirit hear our prayers and remind us what we are.


Raw Cacao has been honored and worshiped by indigenous people for thousands of years. Up until the 18th century they were using cacao as a sort of currency equal to gold and they refer to cacao as “food of the gods”. It was and still today is held sacred not only for its amazing health benefits but also as a “medicine of the heart”. They call it “Mama Cacao” because of the loving and nurturing feeling that arises when a ceremonial cup of cacao has been savoured. Mayan elders and other indigenous tribes from around the globe believe that the plant is alive and has a spirit that is here with the intention to help us to open our hearts and to be more loving and gentle and to remind us of our connection to nature and spirit and the sacredness of life. There is a legend among them , like a prophecy that says “Whenever the earth and humanity are going through great shifts  and transformations the spirit of cacao will emerge to support and assist by guiding the people back into their hearts to know the truth within and to heal confusion and trauma caused by false beliefs and disconnection from source and our essence.  Everyone who has experienced a cacao ceremony has gotten a sense of the gentle and loving energy and spirit of “Mama Cacao” and the joy and healing she brings to the world.

The NUMA tribe loves this plant so much and we are so infinitely grateful for all the hearts that have been opened, wounds and traumas that have been healed, dances that have been danced, and love and connection that has been shared thanks to the magical weavings of this beautiful plant medicine.

THEA HANN who is part of the LUCID tribe – a collective for conscious and sacred gatherings in Berlin -  has her own story and love affair with the sacred medicine and expressed her gratitude in the form of a wonderful song. When she reached out to us to share this beautiful offering we were instantly enchanted and truly excited and grateful that this prayer song has found its way to us because Cacao is such an integral part of our life and has been and keeps supporting and nourishing us on so many levels.

In addition to the acoustic and pure original version of the song the EP features 2 remixes. 

Intiche created a sonic reflection of his own personal connection and experiences with the sacred plant. To honor the different heritages of Cacao around the world Intiche used traditional instruments from countries where cacao is growing like Indonesian bamboos and gamelan, percussion maracas from Peru and Ecuador and rainmakers from Bolivia. By changing the tempo into double time halfway through the track Intiche wants to make us feel the playful atmosphere that the medicine can bring to us “ and make us going deep and at the same time dance and let it go wild...”

Me and Maywa were also invited to rework Thea's Song and with great joy we created our sweet magical journey guided by the Mama herself (we drank plenty of cacao in the process ;) 
Maywa added her powerful shamanic icaro medicine, our friend and dear brother Daniel Mora from Costa Rica is playing native costa rican flutes and I painted a colorful tapestry of sonic bloom to express the joy, aliveness and love that mama cacao has shown me within myself and that I can now experience every day all around me in the costa rican jungle.

🌜Calling The Ancient Ones 💫 ~ live recording ~ Sophia Barrell

Musica medicina para cantar y sanar a traves del canto

El Canto Enamorado

In preparation for my birthing process, I was asked to visualize myself as the center of the "spiral of birth", with all the support systems, affirmations, and environments I call into my labor making up the spiral that surrounds me. From that meditation, this song was born. 
It has served as a powerful medicine to me in my birth process and initiation into motherhood. 

My intention is for this song to be a tool and medicine to all mothers, expecting and existing. To serve as a reminder that you are held, supported, and protected. That you are strong, powerful, and magical. That you were built to birth, and hold the intrinsic wisdom of motherhood with every cell of your being.

Othon  - World Ayahuasca Conference Ibiza (DJ Set)- Opening

I’m the hue
Of April, May and June
Of everything just beginning
Yes; I’m the months in which you
Come alive in all your glorious color.
Leaves adorn trees
Tulips and daffodils rise up from the ground.
I’m the days where you savor extra light and walk your bare feet on green
grass
Or the just right temperature of the ocean’s sand.
I’m the hue that doesn’t come in tubes or sets
I’m the hue you alone can mix
The hue of love.

Opening of the Four Directions, spoken by Emily Andari:
And now we honor the sacred directions
To the direction of the East. 
The new day where the sun rises
The fire, the spark of life
Of Eagle, and Condor
The masculine mind and the feminine heart,
that reminds us of the prophecies 
Flying together in the same sky, 
in balance and in harmony.

To the direction of the South
Allow yourself to ground
Of the connection to Earth
Great pacha-mamma
The physical form
Solidity
Of great Snake
Sachamamma, who exists close to the Earth
and teaches us to shed our skins
The cycle of death and rebirth, and death and rebirth
and of Heyoka, Coyote,
Reminds us of the levity and humor in life
and teaches us to look, and work through our shadows.

To the direction of the West 
Mammakia, Grandmother Moon
To the water
Of great Jaguar, the peaceful warrior
No need to engage in battle internally or externally 
Knowing when to be still, and when to hunt
And of great Bear, that teaches us when to go within, to the stillness
Always trusting of the cycles of life.
Never questioning, Bear does not question weather she will survive a hibernation,
she just goes within and she knows.

To the North
To our ancestors and Elders, where the wisdom lies
Of great Buffalo, that reminds us of service.
Tradition says, that Buffalo would turn and face the arrows of the tribe,
for he knew, that all of him would be used for the great of the whole
The tendons, the bones, the fur, every piece. 
Teaches us to live our lives as that lesson
Teaches ut to take the lessons that we learn in life,
our challenges and obstacles, to do the same 
And of great hummingbird
Teaches us that everything is possible
To believe in the possibilities of the highest good
and highest potential, for ourselves, our community, and our world.

The belief, and the power, of one soul.
One pure heart, one pure mind.

And to the Center
The intersection of all of our lives
This this now moment, present,  
The center of the spiral, inward and outward

In sacred reciprocity, we thank you.
Aho
