Independent Cacao Facilitator Training
A 2-Day Immersive Training + 28-Day Cacao Dieta Journey
This is more than a training — it is an initiation into a deeper relationship with cacao. Designed for aspiring facilitators, space holders, and anyone called to work with cacao in a meaningful and respectful way, this immersive journey blends ancestral wisdom, practical education, personal experience, and conscious facilitation.
Over two full training days, spaced 28 days apart, you will be guided through a transformative learning process that invites both deep study and embodied relationship with the medicine.
Day One — The Foundations of Cacao
Learn everything you need to know about cacao — from seed to ceremony.
This first full day is devoted to understanding cacao in depth: its roots, its realities, and its sacred intelligence.
You will explore:
-
The full journey of cacao, from cultivation to cup — how cacao is grown, harvested, fermented, dried, and crafted into ceremonial cacao.
-
Origins and true history — where cacao was first found, how it travelled across the world, and how different cultures have formed unique traditions around it.
-
Cacao traditions across regions — from 6,000-year-old lineages to newer traditions emerging in places like Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, India, and the Caribbean.
-
Ethics, sourcing & indigenous impact — understanding cacao beyond the romanticized narrative, including its social, cultural, and ecological realities.
-
Bean types and origins in practice — through blind tasting and sensory exploration, you’ll learn to understand cacao like a sommelier.
-
The Cacao Dieta — how to enter into a deeper relationship with the medicine through intentional practice and preparation.
This day also includes a full cacao ceremony experience, allowing you to meet the spirit of cacao not only through study, but through direct communion.
The 28-Day Cacao Dieta
Between trainings, you will enter a 28-day personal cacao immersion.
This is where the learning becomes lived experience.
You’ll be encouraged to work with cacao in a way that feels authentic to you — through ritual, meditation, journaling, prayer, creativity, or daily devotion. We will offer guidance and practices to support you, while inviting you to discover your own unique relationship with the spirit of cacao.
This is not about following a formula.
It is about listening. Feeling. Remembering.
Day Two — Facilitating, Ethics & The New Wave of Cacao
Learn how to hold space with cacao in a grounded, respectful and embodied way.
After 28 days of personal experience, we gather again for a second full training day focused on the art and responsibility of facilitation.
You will explore:
-
How to hold space and facilitate cacao circles and ceremonies
-
Practical tools for working with groups, energy and intention
-
Ceremony structure, safety and ethics
-
Cultural appropriation vs cultural respect — one of the most important conversations in modern cacao work
-
Understanding cacao in Western spirituality — and how to engage with this medicine consciously and responsibly
-
Exploring what we call The New Wave of Cacao — a living, evolving relationship with cacao that honors the past while creating something authentic for these times
This training invites a powerful perspective:
that cacao is not here for imitation or performance — but for transformation.
Not a copy of old ways.
Not a borrowed template.
But a respectful new expression rooted in heart, integrity, and purpose.
A way of working with cacao that meets the needs of our time — softening hearts, helping us digest the weight of the world, and supporting us to show up more consciously within it.
This Training Is For You If You Want To:
✓ Deepen your personal relationship with cacao
