You are amazed by the power of this soft heart Medicine.
Inspired to share the magic of cacao with the people around you…
Cacao is the pathway to the hearts calling. This small and beautiful bean is so revered for its heart opening effects that its journey has carried it worldwide.

An ancient indigenous myth from the Central and South America areas shares that whenever the balance between humans and nature becomes threatened, Cacao comes from the rainforest to open people’s hearts and return the planet to a state of harmony.
Are you being called forth to be a Ceremonial Cermonialist to support this state of harmony being restored?
To hold space for people to re-connect in to their own inner wisdom keeper of their womb and hara, to move from their head and heart?
To support people living from their hearts, and being able to seek their answers from within?
How do we brew the most delicious cacao?
How do we hold space for pretty much any type of workshop.
This Facilitator Training is not about working through a Manual, though one IS provided…

WHAT WILL THE CERTIFICATE QUALIFY ME TO DO?

• This teacher training covers everything from how to create sacred space for people to open up and feel safe, create brilliant musical set-lists (your no. 1 co-facilitator), tools to integrate trauma/emotional releases within a workshop space, and how to get people to sign up.
• It is about embodiment. The greatest teachers are those who teach through full embodiment of their teachings. It is transmission that is our greatest teacher.
• Reclamation of our power as masterful creators as alchemists.
• Deep remembrance of what we truly are. Communion with Cacao Spirit
• Communion with pachamama, the celestial realms, our guides, animal allies the elements, connection, empathy, wisdom.
This is useful for anybody who already facilitates groups, or those who would like to hold space and teach but want to build confidence and hands on experience. You will co~create your own ceremony to complete this training.
You will be qualified to hold Cacao Ceremonies, but many students come to these trainings to simply be able to facilitate their own passions and practices.
If you are wanting to bring a Ceremonial aspect to your already existing practice and workshop, I invite you to come to this.
