This week is another little love fest. We share some reflections on our amazing guests, some life updates, and are reminded of how powerfully affirming it can be to be trusted enough to be asked for help.

We’re also thrilled to our next monthly get together over zoom will be Sunday December 14 at 10am. This is a space to come together to be in community, get centered, prime the creative pumps and have some room to just be as you are. Mark your calendar!

The zoom link will be accessible through our substack https://littlegifts.substack.com

Have you ever felt the call that you maybe just can’t make sense of where it’s coming from? And have you ever said yes to that call? Brianna listened to that deep soul call and found herself all the way across the seas in Egypt. Join us for a rich conversation all about listening to your gut when you hear a call to action that you may not quite understand.

Biranna is hosting a pilgrimage to Egypt in March of 2026. You can find out more and register at https://motheregypt.com/#mother-egypt-march-2026

If you are interested in reaching out to Brianna directly she would love to hear from you at brianna@divinepresence.one

Join us as we talk to the one and only Caro Gomez on the beauty that can come from the blending of cultures, the power of acknowledging our ancestors (the ones we like and the ones we’re not so proud of) and the joy of being a witch.

Caro tells us about her family’s celebration of Dia De Los Muertos, tales of Maxímon, how we can connect with our ancestors in more ways than lighting a candle, her journey to accepting her not so popular ancestors, and her famous Sopa De Frijoles… see the recipe below ;).

You can find Caro on instagram @carogomez_joywitch

Caro’s FAMOUS SOPA DE FRIJOLES:

As we step into day of the dead, I honour my ancestors through food. The one recipe that I’ve perfected through the years but not because I’ve followed “a recipe” I do it because it takes me back to ancestors I never met but through food I hear. And my mum taught me how to make this too. Although I’ve given it my own twist ;)

I’ve added my own ways of making it yummy, including adding 100% raw joy witch cacao (it’s the one I produce, like literally putting my hands through the fermentation vats), and cinnamon and ancho chili pepper, plus other spices as they feel called.

The recipe but not really…

500g of red kidney beans, remove any bits of dirt, touch them, connect to them…they come from the land. Leave to soak over night. Don’t skip this step - they’re easier to digest and softer in your belly and cook better.

Bring a big pot of water to boil…

add:

The beans - let them boil for about 30min then add…

1 onion

1 green pepper

1 juicy big tomato

2-3 whole cloves of garlic

40g ish of raw cacao (better of it’s not powdered, you want the block)

Cinnamon

1-2 ancho chili pepper

Rosemary, salt

Other herbs (play, get into your inner kitchen witch)

Optional: add diced pork shoulder (divine!)

Required: play your favourite music and dance as you make this dish.

Leave to cook for about 3hrs. Keep an eye on the water level - add if it starts to 'run out' of
water.

Serve with avocado, lime, salt to taste, and a dash of crème fraiche and fresh cilantro/ parsley
Enjoy!

Tip: I love to then freeze half cup portions to have ready to accompany meals or have on its own :)
