Deepen your connection to your self and to nature with the heart opening medicine of cacao.
An intensive 4 week dive into the master plant that is cacao.
Join me this September for a two week long journey with cacao.
We will dive into the origins of use. How it has travelled across the globe. How it has been used spiritually, ritually and ceremonially for over 3000 years and we will learn how we can each work with the medicine in a way that is true to our hearts. You will also learn how to open and close a sacred container and how to use cacao as a guide.
I will teach you the art of forest bathing and how to connect with the spirit of cacao so that we can work with her to open our hearts and deepen our healing journey. Cacao can give you the energy to go deep inward to heal yourself and aid others. The spirit of cacao has been called upon to repair relationships and communities. Considered a master plant, cacao has the ability to not only work on a soul/spirit level but on a physical one with holistic health benefits ranging from improving your mood, energy and focus to working on digestion and much more.
"The heart speaks in the language of feeling and vibration, cacao helps us to tune into that wisdom"
I have spent years dedicating my time and understanding to the medicine and energy of cacao, various other plant medicines. I have studied and learned from many traditions and believe all winding paths return to the same place, the present moment where all things that ever were or will be, exist. It seems to be a place of magic where anything is possible. In this moment, we can tap into the energies and spirits that surround us. When we pair devotion and respect with the present moment we create a deep relationship with life and nature.
When it comes to cacao, I have seen the transformational power this master teacher has to offer and I am more than honoured to take you on this journey to learn about cacao Theobroma cacao - the Food of the Gods
Get ready for a deep dive into the rich and stimulating world of cacao!
