01 · What you learn

From the plant to the circle.

01

The medicine itself

  • Theobroma cacao: a plant medicine used for thousands of years in Mesoamerican traditions.
  • Why ceremonial-grade cacao is minimally processed, and how that changes its effect.
  • PEA, serotonin, oxytocin, magnesium and theobromine — what each one does.
02

The ceremony

  • Create and clear a sacred space, energetically and physically.
  • Prayer, intention, the four directions and inviting supportive presence.
  • Smudging, feather work, sound and altar building.
03

The facilitation

  • Hold safe space and support every participant in your circle.
  • Open and close a ceremony cleanly.
  • Organise, promote and run your own events.
