Serving from a place of humility, and an authentic desire to share tools for grounding and connection.
My connection with cacao has been organic, growing from the day I was first served a cup after a plant medicine ceremony, through working with it very occasionally to help me move through difficult emotions, to my current daily cacao that supports my meditation, self inquiry and emotion work practices.
After five years of slowly beginning to share it with close friends, I was called to serve it in circles alongside a friend who facilitates conscious connected breathwork. Together, we hold cacao and breathwork ceremonies and retreats in and around Montreal. The cacao serves as a beautiful way to open the circle, creating connection and safety within the group, and allowing people to open themselves to some deep inner work and insights.
As a facilitator of nervous system regulation techniques such as TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) and the Safe and Sound Protocol, I have also found cacao to be a wonderful complement to these approaches and have found myself offering a cup to clients after particularly emotionally challenging sessions, allowing them time to integrate the work and come to a place of more grounding and peace before going back out into the world.
I also offer one on one sessions for people who wish to take some time to prepare for or integrate medicine ceremonies and retreats, or who simply need a safe space to reflect on their process with me.
I am so grateful to have been called to deepen my connection with this beautiful medecine, and look forward to introducing it to anyone who is ready to receive it.

Veronique Santos
QUEBEC, CANADA
My journey with cacao began in 2015, at a ceremony held by Alku and Diana.
Encountering the spirit of cacao led me to tune in with my inner landscape and root into trust and receptivity of the Earth's wisdom.
I am a mother, a spouse and have twelve years of experience teaching yoga and meditation. In fall 2023, I completed the Cacao Ceremony Facilitator training with Aynua and it has been a blessing to share the gifts of sacred cacao with my family and community.
I hold ceremonies and meditation circles in the Gatineau-Ottawa area, in Canada. My approach is inspired by a deep longing for awakening and embodying the wisdom within ourselves.
Cacao inspires me to embrace ritual and ceremony, which for me are gateways to create a powerful space of transformation, allowing one to live with more intention, purpose and grace.

Bonjour, Il y a 3 ans à Bali, j’ai fait ma première rencontre avec le cacao de cérémonie... wow!
Et depuis 2 ans, je l’ai beaucoup expérimenté. Voir les transformations que cela m’a apporté et ma guérison d’ouverture du cœur ne font que valider que j’ai vraiment l’élan de partager cette médecine.
