Guatemalan + Colombian

Nestled in the lush rainforests of Alta Verapaz, the Cahabón region of Guatemala is home to the Q’eqchi’ Maya communities who have cultivated cacao for generations.

The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, often referred to as the "Heart of the World," is a sacred region for the Arhuaco people of Colombia. Here, cacao cultivation is more than agriculture; it's a spiritual practice deeply intertwined with the community's ancestral traditions.

A spiritual force of nature that strikes the sand at just the right moment is like a direct message from Mother Earth to wake you up. Embrace the invitation of a lightning bolt of information to calm the nervous system that speaks volumes.

This jolt awakens all parts of yourself as you enter the most profound part, like when the lightning creates a path. You have an opportunity to uncover a buried treasure. You are a creator, just like the crusts of glass formed by the fusion of quartz sand when lightning strikes.

You may have heard that lightning doesn't strike twice. All the unearthing guides the lightning striking the sand at the right moment to bring up whatever is inside so you can experience all of it; it comes to the surface like the fulgurite.

Nature's beauty is about feeling the surge of energy from the earth birthing into you as you choose to show up in the world. In your most unique way, you realize you are the grain of sand, a drop in the ocean, and the lightning in the sky. Our inner North Star guides us in remembering who we are.

We are a piece of work, living and breathing into a unique expression of ourselves daily. Lightning has struck again! It is your time to discover and uncover all of nature's beauty within. The earth held all the most precious parts until you were ready to come up in rare form.

You are a MasterPeace.

Love,
Jolt
