About this listen
In this episode, we travel to the high mountains of Talamanca, Costa Rica, with holistic therapist and Bribri–Cabécar healer India Mayorga to explore the cosmovision of cacao as a living spirit, not a commodity. India shares an ancestral origin story of cacao—Siru—as told through her matriarchal lineage, explaining how cacao is woven into Bribri cosmology, law, and ceremony, and why her community speaks of having “cacao blood.” She also touches on traditional protocols (including why Bribri women do not drink cacao during menstruation), the role of women as guardians and ritual preparers of cacao, and how modern practitioners can approach cacao with greater reciprocity, respect, and relationship to original peoples and lands.
