Welcome to the world of Ancel Mitchel, herbalist, storyteller, chocolatier, and overall quality human being. In today’s episode, we dive into the value of connecting with & supporting local indigenous communities, various ways that one might prepare a cacao bean, and the value of embracing the mythological roots or our plant medicines.
Ancel is one of the key players of Finca La Isla, along with her partner Peter Kring from last week’s episode. Both of these pioneers have had a lot to share. Kick back and enjoy the stories that Ancel lays out for us. It’ll be time well spent.
Also, we've create this awesome downloadable PDF that includes all the best tips and tricks we learned from Ancel in this epsiode. You can download it here: https://sharinginsights.net/Ancel-Mitchell-PDF
This episode is brought to you by, well, YOU! I haven’t built up
my audience enough to have attracted sponsors and all that, so even
though it’s the holiday season, you get to support the show without
my selling you stuff. Isn’t that great! So, instead of buying an
organic cotton shirt or an online course, maybe you can just buy me
a coffee!
Go to https://ko-fi.com/sharinginsights to drop a few dollars in
the bucket and let me know you care.
We've provided a pair of unique bonus videos for you, this
time. I visited Ancel for a late-night beach-side
storytelling session, the night following our interview. It
was really cool. She shared a modernized spin on an ancient
Greek story of Demeter and a Norweigan tale of Tatterhood. I
recorded them on audio and have them available for your listening
delight on your YouTube Channel:
Demeter and the Old Crone

Tatterhood the Princess Twin
