A journey into intention, presence and connection.
Learn how to prepare and share ceremonial cacao while creating thoughtful, welcoming group experiences that encourage reflection and authentic connection.
the programme
A training programme running across three months, created for those who would like to learn more about ceremonial cacao and how to lead thoughtful, well planned group experiences with confidence and care.
Across four days of training in person, you will explore the history, production and preparation of cacao through guided learning and practical experience.
The programme will also introduce you to group facilitation, helping you develop the practical skills needed to plan and lead your own cacao gatherings in a way that feels grounded, considered and true to you.
Between each module, you will have time to practise what you have learned, reflect and build your confidence at your own pace.
Groups are intentionally kept small to create a calm, supportive and more personal learning environment.
