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.

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.

Your structure acts as a grounding guide for you and your participants to feel safe. This allows you to focus on your original intention as well as explore your feminine side throughout the structure. 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. The structure assists in offering a safe foundation for you and your participants to receive a valuable offering.
-
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.
-
We teach you how to guide your participants through the lower, middle, and upper world of consciousness, and how to balance feminine and masculine energy. 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. Through this exploration, you will discover and enable yourself to transcend energies, and help others welcome the cycles of nature within, with grace and humility.

Learn to identify which of the 6 emotional core wounds you carry, as well as the limiting beliefs associated, so you can help others become conscious on their healing path.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
As important as the opening of a ceremony, the conclusion is just as necessary to honor 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.
