Cacao Ceremony Facilitator Training 2021


  • 18 Huia Road Titirangi (map)

Join Connie Causay and Wilhemeena Monroe for a sacred adventure into holding sacred space for cacao ceremony. Over 6 months we will explore what it takes to hold sacred space, meet monthly and attend ceremony. As a community we will explore, support and activate each other to grow into the facilitators we want to be.

Starting with a two day Cacao Camp - we dive into ceremony together and immerse into ritual and flow.

After that each month we will explore different themes of holding space and attend a ceremony held by one of us. We will practice, immerse and BE together, learning as we grow and growing as we learn. In the space inbetween we will connect online to discuss, and cultivate ways of thinking and being around ceremony. Dive into ancient practices and learn simple tools to hold space for others to transform.

This is a training for those who are already immersed in facilitation. Maybe you teach yoga, or some other sacred art, maybe you are a therapist or someone who simply holds space for others and wants to refine your practice. We will be diving deep so a level of self-understanding and acceptance is paramount as we peel back the layers of what it takes to really be a leader today.

Module 1, Initiation & Activation

Explore, understand and share the sacred ways of how Cacao can be used in Ceremony. 

This Facilitator Training has been designed to give you the tools you need to create and hold space for your own transformational gatherings, that will allow you to work with the Master Plant of Cacao, generate co creation, share Earth Wisdom, ignite a collective remembrance to connect and inspire our relationships, with Nature, with Source, with Self, with Life & with Spirit and much more magic that will unfold on the path.

A Cacao Ceremony is an opportunity to explore one of the most Sacred Superfoods of the world, known and used for centuries by many communities in Central and South America for it ́s power to open and heal the heart (energetically & physically), connect back to Nature & Spirit, assist on the path of self healing and self love, remember inner peace, guidance and wisdom, and allow us to practice intentional living in communion with Nature and her elements and teachers.

The context of a Ceremony is the creation of a safe and intentional space for exploration, healing, liberation and empowerment of the self, what we call Sacred Space, invoking subtle energies to work with us, such as guidance and energetics from all directions (North, South, East, West, Above, Below and Center), elements (Fire, Earth, Air & Water), plant teachers and any spiritual teachers that the attendee might want to work with. Our work with this invocations and prayers is based on the wisdom held and shared by Andean traditions in South America.

Through guided meditation, the power of intention and the Ceremony itself, we can enter into a personal and collective space in which we can transcend many of our limited thoughts and beliefs so we can remember our essence and its true purpose.
