NEW DATES FOR CACAO TRAININGS CAN BE FOUND HERE
Last week I was invited out on a organic Cacao farm a few hours from the lake and we had such a beautiful ceremony honouring this medicine and the trees from which she comes from. We made offerings, drank cacao out of the pod, sang, danced, had a sacred tobacco ceremony and learned more about Cacao so now I feel even more inspired to embark on my second edition of the Ceremonial Cacao intro and exploration course and there is still a few spots left. We start February 15th
This year it feels extra special as I am in the heart of where the magical Cacao comes from so it will be super charged- AND I will be able to host a guest teacher, Walter who is a Mayan Spiritual Guide who will offer individual readings as well as share his knowledge about this sacred plant medicine.
As Cacao is becoming more and more known and I also hear about a lot of new Cacao Ceremonies popping up I want to offer this training for anyone who wishes to share Cacao, honouring its history and traditions- so you can share Cacao, knowing where it is coming from, who has produced it, how it is made, what the difference is from ceremonial cacao and cacao powder or chocolate etc.
We will work through all the elements and talk about how to set up a ceremony and create your own rituals and so much more.

This is her, this is Mama Cacao
And I have never drank Cacao out of the pod before, it felt so earthy and magical and will start doing that more often
Sharing songs under the cacao trees
Elda of course joined with us and had the time of her life
In my right element
So was Liddy, Cacao Goddess
This is how you ferment the Cacao
For 8 days the beans are fermenting before they are laid out to dry
This is how its dried, with the life force from the sun..far away from factory ovens
Making offerings to the Cacao tree
And this is what the fruit looks like on the inside. I love to just eat the whole thing but the beans can be quite stimulating so its also nice to just suck on the fruity part and offer the bean back to the land
