My voice now walks with you through guided meditations, shamanic journeys and cacao journeys on Insight Timer, the world’s largest free meditation library.
This is how Insight Timer introduces me:
Johanna shares the animist way of life and ancestral wisdom through guided meditations, intuitive chants, and raw, immersive sound journeys.
Her love for the medicine plant of sacred cacao led her to create audio guides, so you can discover and walk with cacao yourself, in ceremony.
Her world will take you to faraway, ancestral lands, timeless places, where reconnecting with the living world and with your ancestors becomes possible. Her minimalist approach and slow, rural way of life bring a particular flavor and mood to her meditative content.
My Approach
Everything you’ll hear is real: my voice, my channeled words, chants received during cacao journeys, the drum I play myself, and sometimes the birds from our Portuguese forest finding their way into the recordings.
None of it is AI-generated. It’s alive, human, and rooted in the earth.
I create these meditations with the same care I put into my writing. Every word is chosen, every silence means something, every beat of the drum brings you back to your essence.
Where to start
Three recordings to press play on tonight:
Intuitive Cacao Song (Live Raw Recording) · 2 min. A song that came through as it was, unedited, cup in hand.
Cacao Song for Cleansing the Soul (Cacaocito) · 2 min. A little song to clear what weighs on your heart.
Idé Were Were: Honoring the Spirit of Water · 1 min. A traditional Yoruba chant for Oshun, the spirit of sweet waters.
And if you want to walk a little further, the folder Sacred Cacao Connection gathers six recordings to accompany you with cacao.
If you speak French, you’ll also find my longer guided journeys: meeting your ancestral guardian, healthy energetic boundaries with your ancestors, a shamanic journey to the primordial lands, and more.
