Addressing the Problems
We Face as Opportunities
for Growth and Compassion
-
Exploitation: Farmers underpaid & facing poor labor conditions.
-
Monoculture & Deforestation: Forests cleared for cacao plantations.
-
Commodification: Sacred plant reduced to mass-market chocolate.
-
Lack of Education on Both the Tree and the Values of Biodiversity it teaches us.
CACAO
-
Disconnection: Modern life separates people from inner spirit, community, and Nature
-
Forgotten Roots: Loss of ancestral wisdom & personal faith traditions.
-
Unsafe Spaces: Lack of responsible space holding leads to harm instead of healing.
-
Fractured Unity: Both ancient and modern worlds show division between peoples, beliefs, and ways of living.
SPIRIT
-
Doubt: Loss of trust in one’s own inner wisdom.
-
Lost Sense of Self: Identity split between Egos, roles, expectations & desires.
-
Neglect: Self-care overlooked in pursuit of productivity.
-
Unhealed Wounds: Collective & individual trauma carried within the self, shaping patterns of pain and survival.
SELF

THE 4 DIRECTIONS
We see a world where cacao opens hearts and awakens the wisdom within, serving as a doorway to the teachings of the Earth and ancestral knowledge. Communities gather with purpose, learning from plants, traditions, and one another, and return that insight to nourish the land and cultivate abundance. In this world, nature, inner essence, and compassion are woven together, inspiring lives of mutual support, co-creation, and meaningful impact.

The SAGE Team
Sage Cacao is a small, heart-led team, a family learning and growing together through the wisdom of the Earth, our experiences, and the teachings shared to us. Nature, ceremonies, plants, and the spaces we hold are ways we bring our journey into the world.
We love nourishing relationships - with each other, with those who join our spaces, and with the world around us. We move with the work, with each other, and with the rhythms we notice in life. What we share comes from who we are, how we walk, and what we are discovering along the way.

She leads group ceremonies for life’s important rites of passage- birthdays, marriages, and births- bringing care, intention, and connection to these moments of celebration. She also works one-on-one as a holistic practitioner, offering multiple healing modalities to guide and support those on their personal journey!
