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.

We hope that this release will serve as a prayer and gift to honor this wonderful medicine. May it support to strengthen our connection to nature and compassion for others and ourselves. May it  be a soundtrack to our ceremonies, ecstatic dances, breath work sessions and celebrations of all kinds.

Pura Vida from Costa Rica!

THEA HANN - Mama Cacao (Intiche Remix)

This remix by Binder of the song from Praful's album Selva Sagrada takes you deep into the forest, as well as deep inside yourself. Sometimes it's great to be reminded, how connecting with your own Breath is an easy and immediate way to find back that inner peace and balance. When times seem challenging, whenever the need arises, the Breath is always there, waiting to be witnessed, helping you to let go of stress and unplug from fear. 
Fully embracing all aspects of this life experience, we can breath deep and surrender into the flow of what is unfolding, knowing that together we have the ability to rise above even the most challenging of situations.

Dont Like Relationship (prodvices X Twohvns)

THINK ABOUT

"Anticipating it
I can't wait to sleep again
I'm laying still
Asleep at night
Breathing slow
I close my eyes

And when I wake
I'm somewhere new
It feels so real
Will I see you?
Slowly I creep
Out I reach, I want you
To come find me

Come find me
And I'll find you
You see me
And I see you

Anticipating it
I can't wait to sleep again
I'm laying still
Asleep at night
Breathing slow
I close my eyes

And when I wake
I'm somewhere new
It feels so real
Will I see you?
Slowly I creep
Out I reach, I want you
To come find me

Come find me"

Lucid Dream of Hide and Seek

10 Recado Da Mãe Divina

"As old as the ocean itself,
my soul

The night is long,
and the shadows foul

To the rising wind
I wail

On and beyond, lost
I sail

Someway there is a shore,
a light
I have seen it before

As old as the ocean itself,
my soul

Timeless I’m floating,
replaying my role

Into deep  waves 
I am drawn

Calm my winds,
Oh rise of dawn

Drop of love
Tears of pain,

Wisdom of water
dissolve my chain

Someway there is a shore,
a light
I have seen it before"

“Krishna is playing and singing through Praful”
Brandon Bays, USA (awareness teacher, bestselling author)

“He plays … without meaning to announce he has heard and learnt from a world master, God of flute, Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia. He plays … like a global music artiste would — merging swaras into breath, a full scream from the heart that sounds less like it comes from the West and more like any temperamental (Indian) vocalist …”
S. Mehrishi, Daily Pioneer, New Delhi, India

“I have no words to describe what you do. It is simply transcendental watching you drop into the space between the notes and download all of us with a powerfully transformative experience.”
Sean Gardner, USA (Raw Food Guru)
