Sacred Cacao Rituals with Ceremonial Cacao Maker Dina Valentini
<p>We're familiar with the image of a cold, snowy night with friends gathered around a fireplace laughing, telling stories, everyone enjoying a mug of hot chocolate, maybe with marshmallows. <strong>What might we be doing if our mugs were filled with cacao? A ritual? Yes! </strong></p> <p>For more than 50 years, Dina Valentini has followed the path less taken to develop a relationship with the plant known as "the food of the gods." <strong>She talks about the botany of cacao, how cacao becomes chocolate, and how she uses cacao in rituals.</strong> </p> <p>Dina also shares how her experience as a chef guides what she blends into her cacao bars. Lavender, fig, ginger, and rose are a few of her favorites. Using beans soaked in the brandy her late-father always drank, Dina created the award-winning bar "Mi Padre." <strong>Yes, she makes custom blends for weddings, fund raisers, personal rituals, and more. </strong></p> <p>Dina speaks with love about the relaxing, heart-opening benefit of cacao she calls "the pause." We're exploring how such a pause might help family dementia caregivers, a role both Dina and I have experienced. </p> <p>For more -- much more -- visit Dina's website: <a href= "https://DinaValentini.com">https://DinaValentini.com</a></p>

Summer Solstice - A Ritual Inspired by My Dying Husband
<p>Whatever spiritual path we follow, whether we follow any path, we're far more alike than different. We all understand the importance of hard work and the value of sacrifice. We know how good it can feel to finally lay a burden down. We know how it feels to give or receive comfort. We know what it is to grieve. </p> <p><strong>In this Summer Solstice ritual, I showcase the partnership between the Sun as the exhausted provider and the Moon as the nurturing caregiver.</strong> Knowing the Moon was about to enter Capricorn, the sign of the elders, I opened the ritual by calling in the Grandmothers of the four directions. </p> <p>During the ritual, we recalled the seeds we planted the previous December at the Winter Solstice. What was it we wanted to nurture and grow? What came of all our hard work? Did we do a good job? </p> <p><strong>Of course, the deeper purpose of these questions and the ritual as a whole was to acknowledge our own burdens and admit our need for self-care.</strong> </p> <p>My husband died two years ago. He had Alzheimer's. It wasn't until I created this Summer Solstice ritual that I saw the correlation between the astrological symbolism and my experience as a caregiver. <strong>I didn't expect the ritual to help me navigate grief, but it did. It still does. That's why I'm sharing the ritual now, almost three months after the Solstice. </strong></p> <p> </p>
