Practitioner Training

I AM BEING Cacao Practitioner Training in London

A journey into a relationship built with Presence. Connection. Ritual.

Over three months, you will journey into the heart of Ceremonial Cacao; not just learning about it, but living it, embodying it, and understanding how to hold it with integrity. By the end of the three months, you are fully aligned with the free cacao spirit, powerful energy and her importance of this plant medicine and what it can bring to your life and others.

This container is designed to give you abundant knowledge, confidence, and presence so that when you serve cacao, you do so safely, respectfully and powerfully. By the end of this journey, you will not just “know” about cacao. It will become part of your life. This training is designed to help you drink cacao in a safe, ethical, nourishing and deeply transformative way; for others and for yourself. So that you can build an abundant life.

Because at I AM BEING, we don’t just serve cacao. We honour it by Being and Being Together.

Who is this course for?

It is for those who want to work with cacao as a way to bring more presence, calm, and a sense of abundance into their lives. This training is not limited to one path or one type of person. You don’t have to want a career in cacao or add it into your workspace. For most, it’s about bringing her into your life so you can gain the abundant emotional, physical and metnal benefits from this plant medicine. For you, friends, family, loved ones and beyond.

Whether you feel called to begin your day with cacao as a way to find clarity and focus, to create moments of pause and reset within a busy life, to deepen your existing work in the wellness space, or to step into something entirely new, this training meets you where you are. It is for those who feel the quiet pull of cacao.

For those who sense there is something more within it, something beyond simply drinking it, something that invites a deeper connection, a slower pace, and a more intentional way of living.

This is a space where cacao is not treated as a trend, but as a practice.

Whether you are already within the wellness space or simply someone who feels drawn to cacao and wants to understand its true depth, this training is for you.

It is about learning how to hold cacao with reverence, how to hold others with care, and how to hold yourself with honesty.

If you feel that quiet whisper, the sense that something is calling you towards this work, then you are ready and I’m excited to teach you all I know.

We begin at the beginning. No pretence. Back to basics.

You will explore:

The ancestral history of cacao and its sacred lineage
The difference between ceremonial cacao and processed chocolate

Ethical sourcing and why quality matters
The science: physical and emotional benefits of cacao
Coffee v Cacao – is there an actual debate to be had?

This module is about grounding and surrendering. Before you serve others, you meet cacao yourself and together. We begin to balance.

Module Two: Holding & Integrity

18^th July / The Space / 11-8pm (cacao ceremony for friends 6-8pm)

Now we move into space-holding.

You will learn:

What it truly means to hold space (and what it does not mean)
Nervous system awareness and emotional safety

Structuring a ceremony with profound clarity and intention

The Graduation

12^th September / 7 Lion Yard / 1-6pm Graduation

After three months of learning, unlearning, softening and strengthening, you will step forward not just as a student, but as a facilitator.

Your “test” will be lived, not written.

You will:

Design and facilitate a ceremonial cacao experience together
Hold space for the group with clarity and integrity
Demonstrate your understanding of safety, containment and nervous system awareness
Share your unique voice and approach

This is not about perfection. It is about presence. You will be witnessed as you hold cacao and hold people and that witnessing matters.

Can I miss any dates or what happens if I'm sick?

You will need to book a private session with Gizelle to catch up or use the sessions that are already allocated within the course.

Is the course refundable?

No. This course is not refundable as places are so limited. Please do not book unless you are committed.
