    I absolutely love the journey with Inner Camp, for completed the Tantra Facilitator training earlier, continued with the Cacao Facilitator, and who knows, maybe there will be more in the future! If there's training I would enroll to further, it would be with Inner Camp! Thank you!

    Żaneta Najgebauer

  • Cacao Facilitator Training

    I chose the cacao ceremony facilitator course with InnerCamp to deepen my knowledge and skills, especially since I had previously used cacao in my sessions based on intuition and self-education. I wanted to officially incorporate cacao ceremonies into my offerings, particularly alongside holosomatic breathwork, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for.

    The online format allowed me to learn at my own pace, with each module released weekly, which encouraged integration of the material. I appreciated the blend of historical, medical, and scientific insights, along with practical assignments that fostered improvement through constructive feedback.

    The course also beautifully integrated shamanic elements, teaching me about various shamanic practices and how to apply them in a ceremonial context. This not only inspired me to create personalized ceremonies but also emphasized safety and healthy guidance for both facilitators and participants.

    Overall, I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to become a well-informed and effective cacao ceremony facilitator. It offers a wealth of backed-up information, inspiration, and a fantastic learning platform, complete with engaging videos and concise reading materials.

    I took the Cacao Ceremony Facilitator Course and really enjoyed learning so much! It is a course with much information and knowledge without repeating the same things. Every video brings new knowledge and it's really lovely to get so much different information so you can set up a ceremony with a good base and totally in your own way with the background and history of cacao. Thank you soooo much for facilitating this course ❤
