104: Stay True To The Essence You Want To Share with The World – Visionary Artist CARO AREVALO

Caro Arevalo is a Peruvian visionary artist based in Brooklyn, NY. From her Amazonian heritage she embraced the importance of rituals and ancestral wisdom. This is reflected on her intricate artwork that talks about how by observing nature we can notice that there is no real separateness in between beings; this leads her to identify the whole universe connected as a one. I met Caro in a cacao ceremony (cacao ritual has brought so much magic into my life!), and it was one of those moments when I knew I was meant to connect with Caro further – before I even saw her beautiful art.  We discuss:  Art as a love letter to planet Earth  Spirituality and plant world  The role cacao ritual has played in her life What does @cafeinacoli mean?  Carolina's fashion blog story The relationship between art and inner world  Why she changed her major from finance to art in college Carolina's first temezcal ceremony  Carolina's first experience with plant medicine  How plant medicine led her to become an artist How Carl Jung influenced Carolina's work Drawing "downloads"  How living in a dark apartment served as an invitation to dive into the inner realm How bartending supported Carolina in the physical realm while she was doing deep spiritual work Healing your female lineage  Growing up introverted and shy Cultivating self-love How to work with herbs and plant medicines  Mandala art  Her decision to quit all side jobs and give all of her energy to art How to be in flow with the Universe Selling art online How she created a viral YouTube video using only her phone Her approach to brand partnerships and sponsored posts on YouTube  The power of saying no to opportunities that aren't aligned  What is "greenwashing" How she manifested being a guest on Woke & Wired How to not care about what others say about your work online and stay committed to your art  Boundaries with social media  Mentioned: What is cacao ceremony The Cacao Portal  Related episodes: 14: What is cacao ceremony with Florencia Fridman 101: Frequency healing and cacao ceremony 95: 5 Ways To Tap Into Infinite Possibility 53: Aileen Xu Of Lavendaire Connect with Caro Arevalo:  carolina-arevalo.com @caro.arevalo youtube.com/cafeinacoli Connect with Ksenia:  Courses and Programs: Conscious Social Media Method Join my email list to know about upcoming workshops and more.
