An indigenous myth tells us that when the balance between humans and nature becomes threatened, Cacao comes from the rainforest to open people’s hearts and return the planet to harmony. Cacao was first discovered by the Mayan Shamans, and in ancient times it was used for ceremonial and medicinal purposes. Cacao gained a divine status in different cultures like the Olmecs, Izapan, Maya, Toltecs, Aztecs and Incas, dating back to 1500 B.C., over 4000 years ago. It was considered to be the “Food of the Gods.”

My first experience with Cacao was in Peru in 2015 when I sat in my first cacao ceremony with a powerful shaman. Little did I know how incredibly deep and transformative this experience was going to be, and would continue to enhance my life. I intuitively have guided cacao ceremonies since then and finally participated in The Path of the Medicine Woman Cacao Facilitator Training with Willow Jayne at Akasha Institute of Embodied Leadership. It is my absolute pleasure to offer this powerful medicine to those who are ready to connect to the resonance of their hearts and listen to the presence.
