It is an honor and makes me really happy to be able to write this first newsletter post and connect with you.
I am Fiorella, founder of Kaukawa, the beautiful brand and project about ceremonial-grade cacao, oil and culture from Cusco, Peru.
For the past five years of my life I have been connecting with the cacao plant, immersing into beautiful journeys in the jungle and mountains areas to create this project along more than 100 families of cacao farmers of the golden Inca cacao, mostly known as 'chuncho' cacao, aiming to regain and reawaken the ceremonial use of cacao within indigenous communities of my country, Peru.
I am beyond grateful for the support I have received on the creation of Kaukawa. On this first blog I would like to thank every single one of you who has connected with our cacao, on your visit to Cusco or through the energy of this magical plant.
For me, it has been an explorative five years, growing into myself, definitely expanding my heart into a bigger love field and trusting my path deeper.
I would love to share NOW with you on this space all the wisdom collected for the past years, as well as all the creations for the upcoming future unfolding, such as in-person experiences with the unique cacao plantations in Cusco, visiting sacred temples and sites in Peru, and the educational programs I will be launching about ancestral practices relation to cacao under the Peruvian cosmology.
It is also a beautiful opportunity to invite all the collaborators who resonate to support the expansion of this project and brand.
Inspired by the beautiful wisdom about nature, Cacao exists to support us in how we perceive life, with fresh new eyes, filled with joy and love.
On my last ceremony, my teacher Maria, a wise old Andean woman, told me, time becomes more precious when you are clear on your mission for this universe, there is no time to lose. Following her wise advice I would like to invite you to unveil the beauty of the Cacao plant in its place of origin.
