I AM BEING Cacao Practitioner Training in London
A Journey into Presence, Connection & Ritual
This practitioner training unfolds over three months, with four in-person training days that blend guided learning with hands-on ceremonial experience. You’ll leave feeling confident, grounded, and ready to work with cacao in a safe and meaningful way with yourself and others.
This is more than a course, it’s a deep relationship with ceremonial cacao. You’ll learn to embody its spirit, understand its power, and hold it with integrity; allowing clarity, joy and abundance into your life.
By the end of the journey, cacao won’t just be something you practise, it will become part of how you live, serve, and connect.
At I AM BEING, we don’t just serve cacao. We honour it by Being, together.

A Bit About Me...Gizelle Renee.
You’re in very safe hands. I discovered cacao many years ago and gradually fell in love with its medicine, how it made me feel emotionally and physically. Over time, I knew it wasn’t something to ignore, so I chose to go deeper. I studied and worked with cacao long before creating I AM BEING. My intention is to help you discover how cacao can support your life and unlock what you truly want; for yourself and those around you.
Cacao is a powerful plant medicine that brings clarity, presence, and a deeper connection to who we are. This is a journey you won’t forget, I promise.
Who is this course for?
This training is designed primarily for wellness practitioners; yoga teachers, facilitators, coaches, and those already holding space who want to deepen their offering and work with cacao in a meaningful, grounded way.
It’s also for anyone feeling called to build a deeper personal relationship with cacao and explore its ceremonial side.
Whether you’re looking to enhance your practice or invite more presence, calm, and intention into daily life, this training meets you where you are.This isn’t about trends or surface-level knowledge. It’s about developing a genuine relationship with cacao, holding it with reverence, and creating space for yourself and others with care and integrity.
If you feel that quiet pull, like there’s something more to cacao, she is calling you.
