007: Creating A Life of Magic, Ancestral Connection, & Ceremonial Cacao with Christine Olivia

“When you are drinking the cacao & you’re sitting with it, what it feels like this budding open. This blossoming open. Your heart feels like its flowering open. And you can literally feel your body opening up to the cacao, sometimes feel tingles & sensations in your hands & in your feet.” - Christine Olivia Hernandez Christine Olivia Hernandez is an author, cacao ceremonialist, first time screen writer, and director. Her screen play is an adapted version of her published book, "A Child of Magic," a fiction based on her own journey of remembering and a reminder to tap into the inner child, truth, and magic. She enjoys creating, expressing, and helping others through storytelling and cacao ceremonies. Christine’s Guatemalan ancestors have deeply connected her to the gentle plant medicine cacao.
