The lack of compassion causes isolation.
When you go for healing, and receive no compassion, you end up feeling worse. This has to stop.
Therapists, coaches, plant medicine facilitators, and even shamans… too many people in position to help don’t know enough about the origin of trauma, the role of emotions, and the negative impact of not providing compassionate presence.
Some can say unhelpful words (“Everyone goes through hard times… Others have it worse than you… You should forgive… You’re not vibrating high enough”), while others can be silent cold, unable to honor your emotional state. On the opposite, some will avoid your pain, and try to cheer you up, imploring you to change through toxic positivity.
The lack of compassion has become normalized, passed from a generation to another. In private one-to-one sessions, or at retreat centers, old wounds are being reinforced. It is time for a big change.
Not receiving compassion, especially when you reach out for help, can be immensely painful.
The solution is to become a leader of compassion.
You can achieve this with:
1) One of our trauma-informed shamanic trainings, focused on compassionate presence.
2) Our pure Peruvian ceremonial cacao, the most compassionate shamanic medicine of our time.
The combination of compassionate guidance and ceremonial cacao creates an empowering bridge between the ancient heart wisdom of Peru, and you.
For thousands of years, cacao has been revered as one of the most sacred, compassionate medicine among the indigenous tribes of the Amazon.
Become a living example of true human connection, first by developing deep compassion for yourself, and then by creating the safest healing spaces for your clients.
