Life became more regimented for some though, as the rations begin to run dry.

... so their children can enjoy small pieces of chocolate on the holidays in the global north and west, whilst making ready for flash floods the weatherman predicted that week. And people in the Global South who have ritual uses for these two plants are forgetting their culture as they struggle wh the worst droughts for decades.

However, there are some who have recognized that deep in the belly of their humanity and in the truth of their hearts, that humankind is on a steep learning curve. <center><p style="font-weight:bold;">They are fighting back with large and small acts of community resistance. </p> <p style="font-weight:bold;">They are creating spaces for profound healing, sharing of Earth, ancestral and ancient wisdoms."</p></center> <style="text-align: justify;"They provide education and encouragment through creativity - humanity's first learning tool. They are the humans who remind us to put the connectivity and mystery of 'folk' in “folklore”. They are the storytellers,the scribes and players of instruments, and dancers to songs, the painters, the cooks, the planters, growers and ceramic pot makers.</>style <iframe width="760" height="515" src="http://ceces-speakeasy.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ceces-rehearsals-slideshow.mp4" type="video/mp4" allow=" autoplay; no downloads " ></iframe> They are the guardians and stewards of the Earth and Ritual Wisdom Keepers – they are connected to the unseen and make the human experience a caressing of the senses to awaken memories of ancient knowledge and the connection Humans have of the Earth. By being innovative and using what we have around us, by careful attention to everyday interactions that are acts of compassion and kindness, we are learning how to counter an obsession toward fatalism, that humankind is on a path to inevitable destruction.

If you have found yourself here, you belong to a collective of folk who have not found each other entirely. Yet… <center><img src="https://ceces-speakeasy.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ian-stauffer-uftqFbfWGFY-unsplash-1638x2048.jpg" width="490" height="590"></center> People are coming together. They are recognising themselves as the source of their freedom, education and joy. The world, planet Earth has always been a place of extremes, paradoxes and contradictions. It is the storytellers, poets and artists who makes sense where there is none. But you have chosen to join us on a journey through the bitter and sweet caves and precipices of the richness to life that coffee and chocolate bring.

2031. And the news bleats that the crops have almost completely gone, due to climate change. Coffee and chocolate are sensitive plants. For 20 years and then some, science and big corporates invested billions into research to genetically modify the seeds of the coffee and cocoa palnt so that they might be more heat and drought resistant and able to withstand the ever-encroaching aridity of a hot planet. <img src="https://ceces-speakeasy.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/landscape-tree-horizon-wilderness-sky-field-536544-pxhere.com_-1536x1152.jpg" width="610" height="650"> But the results of their efforts resulted disappointingly in very low and unhealthy crop yields. The elite and privileged, who could afford the rocketing prices for coffee and cacao beans, began [[hoarding them in alarming quantities.]] <img src="https://ceces-speakeasy.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/weak-coffee-plant.jpg " width="520" height="410"> <audio src="http://ceces-speakeasy.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Marcina-Earth-Spirit-Intro29102021-22.10.mp3" autoplay> <html> <head> <title>external linking</title> </head> <p style="font-weight:lighter; font-family:georgia,garamond,serif;font-size:13px;font-style:italic"><BR> <a href=https://ceces-speakeasy.org/about-us/>Back to main site</head> </p>

We get it. It's all a bit daunting, overwhelming but all you can do is begin with the first step... If you would maybe like to try again another day, no worries.

So we would like to first give you an insight in to why Cece's Speakeasy began.

(set: $name to (prompt: "ocean meets land where the sky meets the mind a better future is ours it's simply a matter of ________?", "")) Thank you $name for making it this far. We hope you have enjoyed some of the soundtrack to the Cece's journey so far. There is more to come. But we have to stop right here. Sometimes a reflection period is necessary. We cannot always run around being "productive". We set ourselves up for burnout when we do that too often. But what we can do, is mull over are the seeds that we have picked up along the way and nurture them. And then plant them in the imagination and envision what we want for the seeds. Cultivating a strong imagination is a good habit to have.(#ImaginationWorkout🤩). In the video below we see a man plant and water a tiny chia seed... that grows into an 8 foot plant! Every now and then, more of the story will be revealed. If you wish to be kept up to date with next installment, click the link below this video where you can sign up for the updates.
