Our 2-day Cacao Ceremony Facilitator Training offers an immersive experience in the sacred art of cacao ceremonies. This training will teach you how to use cacao as a heart-opening tool to facilitate healing, connection, and transformation. You’ll learn the history, benefits, and rituals of cacao, as well as how to create and hold space for ceremonies. The course covers ceremonial preparation, guiding participants, and incorporating cacao into various healing practices. By the end of the training, you’ll be equipped to facilitate your own cacao ceremonies, sharing this powerful, heart-centred experience with others.
Cacao has been revered for thousands of years by indigenous cultures, especially in Central and South America, as a sacred plant medicine. In our Cacao Ceremony, we use high-quality, raw cacao as a natural, heart-opening tool. This ancient practice involves drinking ceremonial cacao, an elixir known for its ability to enhance emotional healing, deepen meditation, and awaken the spirit. Unlike regular chocolate, ceremonial cacao is full of powerful nutrients and rich in antioxidants. More importantly, it is known to open the heart space, allowing for emotional release, clarity, and deep connection with yourself and others.
Over this course, you will be guided into the world of cacao and ceremony. Through cultivating a daily practice with cacao, you will learn how to work with this powerful plant. Connecting with your intuition and learning to listen to mama cacao, you will discover a powerful plant ally.
By working with cacao every day, you connect with the spirit of this heart-opening plant, learn its history and beneficial compounds, how to source and prepare it, and open your intuition to its messages.
The course leads you through the essentials of creating and holding your own ceremonies — powerful, safe, and grounded in love and integrity.
“I have been on an unfolding journey of personal healing and growth for more than two decades, working with cacao since 2010 — making award-winning treats, teaching workshops, and holding cacao ceremonies.”
When you think of cacao you probably think of chocolate — but cacao has proven benefits for physical and mental health. It opens the heart, relaxes the body, and reduces stress by improving circulation and filling your whole being with fresh energy. Our Cacao Ceremony Training will teach you about these benefits.
The training runs over 2 days, 3 hours each day, with batches from the 27th to the 29th of March, April, October, and November.
