What is a Ceremonial Massage?

A Ceremonial Massage weaves together a blend of advanced massage techniques, ceremonial cacao, restorative movements, healing sounds, and plant cleansing, to reach a profound level of transformation.

A sacred dance in connection with nature, Ceremonial Massage helps awaken memories, clear energies, cleanse the womb, balance masculine and feminine energy, process trauma, bring the body back into balance, and restore passion for life.

Ceremonial Massage sessions are literally moments out of time that bring you back to your heart center, while your temple receives unconditional loving care.

Ancestral cacao medicine, is a gentle plant ally that helps you, and your clients safely open up energetic pathways to deeper and meaningful healing.

 

A Journey of Inner Transformation with Ancestral Cacao

The blueprint of this training empowers each participant to go on a personal journey of healing, integration, and profound transformation with the support of ancestral cacao medicine.

By learning new skills, and by bringing your own gifts to life, you will become a more powerful practitioner, who can be fully present for your clients, and a highly intuitive healer.

Theobroma cacao is an adaptogen that allows each person to connect with themselves, and the natural rhythm of their bodies, tuning in with the nervous system, and expanding towards a nourishing life style.

Wherever your roots lie when you come to this training, you will leave in full bloom as a qualified Ceremonial Massage Practitioner, empowered to help more people on their healing path.

Content of the Training


 

Evaluation & Support

During the training, you will be required to practice your techniques on your fellow course participants, as well as on our guest models.

The final evaluation will come from delivering a Ceremonial Massage session for our course leader, Diana Deer Hawk, who will share in-depth feedback based on the experience.

Your learning, integration and healing process will continue to take root when you go home. As such, we believe strongly in checking in and providing support after the training. We will also be there to answer any questions, as you work through your 20 hours of self-practice with your community.

Ritual in Nature

We prepare ceremonial cacao in nature, and bring life to your own personal altar (or mesa), so it is ready to be used to help others in ceremonial healing sessions. The content of a mesa can vary, but generally includes healing stones and other personal objects representing elements and wisdom from your own personal healing journey. Please bring with you any stones, crystals, pendulums, earth elements, or other artifacts that have led you to this path.

Diana Deer Hawk

Founder & Teacher

Diana is the pioneer of this healing modality called Ceremonial Massage. Through inner vision, shamanic journeys, body-work training in swedish massage, acupressure, cranial sacral, womb healing, energy healing, and sound therapy, she created this unique approach, now available for everyone to learn and integrate in their own holistic practice.

In 2009, she suffered from a back injury, leaving her unable to move. Through internal martial arts, Chinese medicine, yoga, deep inner reflection, plant medicine and master plant diets, she flip-turned her situation and changed the course of her life. After becoming a yoga instructor, practicing massage therapy for deep healing, and offering cacao facilitator trainings, she pioneered Ceremonial Massage as a healing modality.

With her compassionate presence and healing gifts, Diana seamlessly integrates the power of shamanic medicine with a unique combination of bodywork techniques. She is now called to guide people on their path of self discovery and personal growth, in the art of Ceremonial Massage.

 

Alku Salka

Founder & Teacher

Alku embodies the wisdom of the human emotional journey, welcoming all feelings and sensations as the intelligence of nature within. Through his personal experience and teachings, he helps people empower themselves and liberate stagnant energy to live a life of freedom and fulfilment.

In 2009, after a burnout and a long depression, he slowly started to feel alive again. Through the teachings of yoga, meditation, Plant medicine and Ceremonial Cacao, Alku developed an acute understanding of the human journey. Since then, he teaches how to overcome the deepest emotional core wounds with love, presence, and authenticity.
