All Things SOUL - living authentically, healing and thriving through trauma and life’s challenges

Join me as I welcome my dear friend Angeline Montoya Powell to a conversation nestled in nature. Listen in as we recount our cacao ceremony on Wadmalaw Island and the peace found in the simplicity of Angeline's garden. We discuss the profound healing and grounding properties of plant medicine and how encounters with the natural world can remind us of the remarkable capability we have to manifest our intentions and connect with our true selves.

Creating sacred spaces isn't just about the physical environment; it's about the intentions we set and the gratitude we foster. We reflect on the interconnectedness of all life, drawing inspiration from the Amazon guardians and their pivotal role in global ecosystems. Through the stories shared you'll be inspired to find your own way of honoring the earth, nurturing gratitude, and joining in the collective effort to preserve our planet for future generations.

Whether you're an avid gardener or a supporter of local farmers, this episode is a heartfelt reminder of our roots and the collective spirit that thrives when we care for the earth and each other.

In this episode, you will hear:

• The significance of creating sacred spaces with rituals like lighting candles and water offerings.
