My Latest Rebirth

This whole cycle is bringing me a more inner energy, even during ovulation I didn't want to be too social 😅 it's bringing me much deeper into myself and my path, if I wasn't aware of where I am and what I'm asked to do internally, I would most likely think there was something wrong with my body.

This cycle began when a step related to cacao studies ended, so obviously a lot of integrating had and has to be done and for that it's needed more stillness and tranquillity. And actually it's not really over, it's just beginning.

When I started this deeper process with cacao, my first and only intention was to incorporate it into my way of working and bring it into the world hand in hand with Natural Gynaecology (NG). But, to my amazement, when I was trying to put it all together, I felt that something was ‘missing’ and I was always sure that I wouldn't bring it into regular cacao ceremonies... and last week, when I was preparing cacao for myself and a friend, I felt what was ‘missing’ and realised that I wouldn't just bring cacao into a NG-mentored therapy space, but that I would share it as a unique and private experience. And wow! How easy it was to create this!

I'm bringing cacao medicine to you as a unique, private ceremony for anyone who feels like trying this way. It will be dedicated and prepared exclusively for you, whenever and wherever you want. This doesn't mean that you will experience cacao alone, it can be just for you, of course, but you can share the experience of this ceremony with a group of friends, family, you choose!

You can experience it just because you want to feel the cacao in your journey, to express gratitude, celebrate life, commemorate a special date or an important and transitional moment in your life. Again, you choose!

Why? Because my first experience with cacao was very personal and unique. I started the journey with cacao with just me and for me, without group ceremonies and the times I tried cacao with other people it was with people who were already in my space, for example during the cacao studies.

So I realise how important it was to have this process in a more personal way, having the space to feel the information and energy of this medicine for myself and my own energy working with it.

I have a very special and unique way of working. I revere the medicines (cacao, plants, herbs, energies, etc.) in a very different way, with my own cosmology, without being bound by rigid guidelines and rules, I do it in an out-of-the-box way.

And for a while I was afraid to share this because I was afraid I was doing it wrong or not honouring the medicines. But every time I work closely with a medicine, every time I work with the herbs and feel their energy and feel that they communicate with me in my own very particular way, the message I get is that since I'm doing it from a space of pure love, it doesn't matter if I don't follow the guidelines, because I do what my heart feels. The fact that I do it differently doesn't mean that I don't honour the medicines, I honour and revere them by doing what makes me feel good and in my heart.

It's necessary to change the way we see some things, they are no longer shared as our ancestors did. So from my perspective, the more pure, organic and from our heart we do things, the more honourable it will be, because we are respecting our power and energy and we are respecting the power and energy of the medicines.

We’re here to serve ourselves, to serve the medicines and the medicines to serve us. To work together.

This is also why my NG mentoring is unique and brings lots of inner healing, because is personalised, it’s made just for the woman that says yes to herself. So when I bring the practices they aren’t the same for two women.

And every time I go deeper in myself I can bring more deeper guidance work for you. I’m here to assist you and guide you.

With love, Filipa Ferreira
