We are Rene and Daniel. We have established heart solution, because at some point we have recognized that we want to take responsibility for our life.

Our Story
I met Daniel in 2016 with a 10-day men's camp in the forest to know. He had just gotten out of a three-year adventure from Guatemala back to Germany, where he associated closely with the world of cocoa and cocoa valuable experience shamans had collected. This Knowledge he shared now in ceremonies and dance events. Me was fascinated by his stories about the Plant and its Art, to spread it and live it – we were friends.
In the Winter of 2017, it moved Danial to Hawaii and I decided to make cocoa more in my life to invite and as a gift to pass on, among other things, as a steady part of the dance events Ecstatic Dance. In addition, I developed cocoa rituals, organized Workshops on the topic and offered the cocoa on a Christmas market.
Independently of each other, we had both the impulse to do more with the cocoa: our ideas kept, the visions were clear and heart solution was born. We bought a Bus, went to Festivals and other Events to spread the Message of the cocoa. We opened the heart of the solution-online shop and continued to grow.
To this point, it was a shared journey, and somehow you will be always. I'm going to steer the ship in the future, the main responsible. Daniel wants to focus on his healing work and will continue to act in an Advisory capacity, and operating in the heart of the solution. Also, in the future it will be common ceremonies, and Events of the two of us together. As for everything a heart solution can be found.

Cacao Facilitator Training
From the Mayan Cosmovision
2023, I had the great honor to be able to more weeks of Mayan cocoa Training. It was a magical experience and I am very grateful for this opportunity. 35 people from all Parts of the world were to follow on the journey to the reputation of the cocoa.
The Training was all in all very intense and has a lot of moves in me, and a Wake-up call. It is a new space opened in the work with the cocoa. In the village of San Marcos on Lake Atiilán in Guatemala, this Training took place. Where we were by a local Maya informed. We started every day with a cacao ceremony where we honored the cacao as a sacred Plant, and prayed us to the upcoming lessons prepared.
At the beginning we are introduced to the basics of traditional Maya ceremonies, as well as their spiritual backgrounds. We go hard on this, how ceremonies can help us to focus our attention, on the inside, to travel, to connect with the ancestors, of nature and the Spirits. What it means to divine and to serve. We were taught several techniques to sharpen our senses.
This includes the sharing of cocoa, as a group, and to celebrate this gift belonged to, of course. Prayer, music, song and dance was our daily companion. – a particularly magical experience!
A significant part of our training, we are dedicated to the Learning of the Mayan Cosmology, the Deciphering of the calendar symbols, Maya crosses and the interpretation of the various energies of a day or of a Person.
The other part, we connected with the actual cocoa Ritual: We explored traditional ritual items and clothing as the Faja, the Jicara or the Copalera and have learned to create an altar.
We received very detailed and original instructions for the preparation of the Kakaotranks. Which for me was an entirely new experience. The careful selection of beans, the Roasting stayed open fire, the Peel, the Grind, the preparation and the enormous importance of the Intention during this process were as much a part of the program.
Visit a cocoa plantation in the middle of the jungle and the processing facility for the cocoa was a particular Highlight. Another aspect of the training focused on personal Transformation and I learned the cocoa, with all of its healing powers to a whole new Level to know. I'm still in the midst of this process, and strong when you Integrate am. Similarly, this deep it's hard for me to put into words.
Other plant medicine, such as, for example, the Ruda(Rue) were found in our latitudes, use, and takes place has brought us closer.
During the training, we also had the opportunity to participate in a traditional Maya ceremonies in the jungle, to the ancient Altar spaces and caves, as well as fire ceremonies. These ceremonies were very powerful and intense, and helped me to gain deeper insights about myself and my relationship to the world around me.
My journey has been incredibly rewarding and intense– I've made friendships and my inner peace can expand. I now know better than ever what it means to be connected to me and more to the energy of the nature to adapt. My body has been strengthened by the energetic force of cocoa, my soul has received love.
Overall, the Training was an unforgettable experience for me. I've learned a lot about myself and my connection to nature is strengthened. I am grateful for the opportunity to have this Training, and I will carry these experiences are always in my heart. I would like to share in Germany, what to know, step-by-step.
Warmly, I would like to thank my teacher, Isaiah and his wife Isabelle for your incredible support in this challenging journey! For me, it is now more students and to learn from day to day, full of admiration of this Plant.
