Embody the essential knowledge you need to create your own unique cacao offerings. This training is a complete initiation presented by two experienced cacao shamans who live in Northern Peru, the birthplace of cacao on Earth.
Receive Clarity
Learn everything you need to know in order to serve cacao with integrity and true compassion.
Grow Stronger
Gain self-confidence, develop your capacity to set healthy boundaries, and become a trusted space holder.
Be a Guiding Light
With consciousness and presence, serve cacao with the gifts inherited from your ancestors.
Being an Empath & Holding Space with Cacao Can Feel Intimidating
Speaking in front of people, knowing how to serve cacao, and facing emotional release, can be challenging, especially when you are not trained.
If you are an empath, and have a hard time setting healthy boundaries, it can be even more difficult. Taking on the emotions and energy of others, you end up depleted and drained.
When imposter syndrome quicks in, the wounded parts of your inner child leads you to self-sabotage, blocking you from releasing your gifts as a spiritual guide.
A short and surface level pre-recorded course cannot give you the tools you need to build a solid foundation.
But it does not have to be that way.

What is the Path of Working with Cacao?
Cacao plays an important role in centering us in our hearts, and anchoring us to the Earth. Our feelings and needs become priority again, as we learn to honor ourselves, and nature as the source of deep transformation and regeneration. The teachings provided by cacao are sacred, as they bring us at the roots of ancestral healing.
What is the Healing Potential of Cacao?
Ceremonial cacao helps liberate energy blockages caused by childhood emotional wounds and trauma. Not many are fully aware of the incredible healing potential of pure cacao. Learn how this medicine can help heal stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as the most important health issues of the modern world — physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
The 4 Main Benefits of this Training
1.
Gain the Skills & Knowledge You Need
You will learn how to hold space for people, so they feel safe to connect with their vulnerability, and transform with the energy of ceremonial cacao. As you work with this sacred medicine, you will embody its essence, and serve from a place of integrity. And you will develop the self-confidence to create and guide your own unique offerings.
2.
Enhance Your Life & How You Serve Others
This training will enhance the connection with yourself, by cultivating presence, gratitude, and welcoming all that you are. Working with cacao will allow you to tune in to the creative gifts you wish to share with the world. When you fill your cup, you can then inspire others to do the same. Be that guiding life force and example of how rich and fulfilling life can be.
3.
Learn How to Safely Guide People
When you learn to create a safe space to welcome your emotions and personal transformation, you can then do the same for others. When we work with plant medicine, set and setting are key, as feeling safe is priority. Once that foundation is layed out, there is a sense of trust and opening for people to receive your guidance.
4.

Content of the Training
Origin of CEREMONIAL Cacao
History is being re-written regarding the origin of cacao on the planet. Learn the history of cacao from ancient times to now, its use as a sacred medicine, and what makes cacao ceremonial. Discover the amazing benefits of this sacred tree, for the body, the mind, as well as the emotional and spiritual aspects. Become familiar with all the steps, from the tree to your cup, and how the sacred medicine of cacao can change the world.
Structure OF THE CEREMONY
Having a clear structure acts as a grounding guide for you and your participants. This allows you to focus on your original intention as well as explore your feminine side throughout the ceremony. It encompasses a theme, a journey from beginning to end, and the grace of making the ceremony your own creation, coming from the wisdom of your heart. A structure is essential in offering a safe foundation for you and your participants.
Opening OF the Ceremony
Learn how to offer a prayer and calling of the directions based on the Andean medicine wheel, and develop your own unique way to open the ceremony. Connect with the tradition of your choice, to thank Mother Earth, Father Sky, the elements, and the Spirit of Cacao. This opening prayer is meant to honor life, nature, and allows each participant to open up to the practice of gratitude, for the transformation they are looking for.
GuidED MeditationS
You will explore various guided meditations based on heart awakening, root connection, human emotions, nature visualizations, and more. When offering a guided meditation, you can experience yourself in a new way. The receptive and creative channels open, and being of service in this way will raise your vibration, as well as those who will receive you. Each participant learns from one another, as we open the space for you to guide a meditation for the group.
HOW TO cREATE A SAFE SPACE
Set and setting are key components in providing exceptional ceremonial experiences of growth, transformation, and evolution. Checking in on your participants and their specific needs already sets the tone that you are a mature guide. It builds a sense of trust and safety. Learn how to navigate emotions when difficult characters or situations arise, during your time as a space holder. And develop new skills of communication to support your journey as a guide.
Emotional Core Wounds
Learn to identify which of the 6 emotional core wounds you carry, and how to begin healing them, so you can help others become conscious on their path of transformation. This is an essential foundation for personal development and collective healing. Harness the ability to hold a compassionate space for your participants, as you begin to recognize which wounds they carry. Learn how to cultivate the antidotes for each wound, so you can hold space for them with loving presence.
how to HOLD SPACE WITH INTEGRITY
Sensing the energy of those who sit with you in ceremony, and receiving their expression, will invoke a need to be in the moment, and trust your intuition to guide in the right direction. Learn how to listen, and use language that will help people access a transformative state. Develop trust in your intuition and the spirit of cacao. And learn how to serve with the highest level of integrity.
THE IMPORTANCE OF healthy boundaries
Learn the importance of cultivating self-respect, and how to set healthy boundaries around your sacred space and offerings. We share inspiration on how to manage the container of your ceremony, and offer you appropriate guidelines to keep the participants stay on topic, as well as time management tools. Having clear boundaries in and around yourself, will inspire participants to awaken self love in their lives as well.
PREPARATION OF CEREMONIAL CACAO
Learn how all the steps to prepare the best ceremonial cacao for a small or large group. This includes: intention setting, ancient cacao preparation, various recipes, and different ingredients you can play with. Receive guidance on how to connect to the spirit of cacao, and the shamanic experience this sacred medicine provides.
How to Guide a Sharing Circle
Receive crucial information on how to create and guide a safe sharing circle. Everyone who comes to your offering will need to be heard and seen, as part of their healing journey. Learn how to prepare yourself for this important part of the ceremony, as you offer the quality of presence needed for your participants to be able to express themselves inside a safe container.
THE ROLE OF Sound & Music
Sound healing and music expression is a beautiful addition to a cacao ceremony. You will learn how to harmonize your participants, and explore different possibilities of using your voice and music to support transformation. If you are deeply connected to the medicine of cacao, you may even begin to receive a song from spirit, and sing when you are preparing cacao.
shadow archetypes
The different roles you might play, unconsciously, as a cacao ceremony facilitator, will have a great impact, positive or negative, on the journey of your participants. Learn to identify and recognize the polarities of the shadow archetypes, so you can consciously aim to embrace the role of the mature guide.
Closing OF the Ceremony
As important as the opening of a ceremony, closing it is just as necessary to honour the important work and transformation that has been experienced during a ceremony. Learn how to bring people back in their body, and ground the energy, to maintain the sacred space within each person. Cleansing ritual and closing prayer are the main components of this part of the ceremony.
