Perfect addition

This course was perfect. I have multiple modality trainings (yoga, reiki, hypnotherapy etc) and love blending in new ones! I am super excited to add cacao to my ceremonies and events. This was a great course for facilitators that already know how to hold space. If I was new to holding space, I would take the 10 week course, because this isn't enough for a first timer....but it's perfect for a practicing practitioner/healer/therapist etc.

Well Done

I really appreciated how well put together this course is. I found everything to be really informative and easy to understand. I was very interested in learning about the process of cacao from pod to cup and I really wanted to understand a little of the history of cacao, as well as the proper way to mindfully prepare it. This course did not disappoint and I’m grateful for all the topics that were covered as well as the mission behind the company.

Easy to understand and respectful to the culture!

I was really skeptical of purchasing this class. The Cacao Ceremonies have become very trendy in the wellness community. It seems like people from outside that culture, attend a ceremony and then all of a sudden they are a facilitator.

I’ve been on a journey with connecting to my Mexican ancestors (I’m half white and Mexican) more so of the Huichol and Cora indigenous people. For the past 2 years I’ve been personally practicing Cacao rituals. As a biracial person, I never felt accepted in my Mexican side with family/community, because I was told I was “too white” or “not a real Mexican”, especially since I don’t speak Spanish (due to back in the day, doctors saying that it would confuse my autistic brother) Cacao has made me feel whole to my Mexican roots and spiritually feeling more closer to who I am and my ancestors.

I really wanted to find a class just to help give me some ideas on holding a ceremony, but also give me information to help understand the science behind cacao, especially with my dyslexic brain. This course was absolutely outstanding and I really admire the fact that the educator discussed about cultural appropriation and encouraged to respect the history of Cacao, the people, and the lands. 🙏🙏

Thanks for the kind words, Adriana! I'm so glad you got a lot out of the course. Take care. -Nick

Introductory Cacao Training Course

Have you heard about the magical potential of ceremonial cacao and wonder what it's all about? Or have you experienced it for yourself and want to learn how to share it with others?

Soul Lift Cacao founder Nick Meador has cultivated expertise through years of working with cacao, traveling to cacao farms, meeting with experts, and researching... as well as many years before that training and researching in various spiritual traditions and modalities for holding space for personal self-development.

If you'd like to incorporate cacao into your classes, workshops, or conscious parties (practices including yoga, breathwork, ecstatic dance, etc.), or even your massage or Reiki practice, we offer many different options to meet your unique needs.

This course is well-suited for those who already have some training and experience with holding sacred space. But it's also great for anyone who just wants to learn more about ceremonial cacao.

ABOUT CEREMONIAL CACAO

Cacao is the natural, unprocessed form of chocolate grown in tropical regions around the world. Most people know cacao as a superfood. It has possibly the highest amount of antioxidants of any food. Cacao contains beneficial minerals like iron and magnesium. And the main active compound, theobromine, gives a boost of energy without the crash or cravings that come from caffeine (which is actually very sparse in cacao).

Yet cacao also has another aspect not spoken about in health food stores. Legends tell of ancient Mesoamerican civilizations using cacao for introspective and celebratory purposes, calling it the “Food of the Gods” and even trading it like currency. This more mysterious "plant medicine" side of cacao offers the potential to put you more in touch with your body and your soul. You can gain insights into the best direction moving forward, as well as the focus and motivation to take action towards those goals.

You'll be amazed how quickly you can learn to prepare and serve cacao so that your clients and community members can experience a positive impact in their lives!
