WANT TO SHARE CEREMONIAL CACAO WITH YOUR PSILOCYBIN CLIENTS?

Immense potential exists for combining psilocybin mushrooms and ceremonial cacao in a therapeutic context. 

People have long made “mushroom chocolates.” But with certain cacao and a specific container, it can actually help a client find more of a sense of completion in their journey. And through correct cacao sourcing, it can make the psilocybin work more equitable.  

The legalization of psilocybin services in certain states in the USA and the permanent legal status of cacao (the main ingredient in dark chocolate) allows the possibility for professionally combined administration. Yet it’s best to have a deep understanding of why and how they fit together.

Join Soul Lift Cacao founder Nick Meador in June 2024 for a 3-part live course all about how to ethically and responsibly share ceremonial cacao in psilocybin services.

Nick has been training people how to share ceremonial cacao since 2017. And he’s soon to be a licensed Oregon psilocybin facilitator who has done in-depth training and research. (More on Nick below.)

We will meet over Zoom video for three Wednesdays in a row.

Class will be from 6:00-7:30pm Pacific (9:00-10:30pm Eastern).

CLASS DATES & TOPICS

June 5 - Historical and cultural overview (anthropology, colonialism, cultural appreciation vs. appropriation)

June 12 - Preparing to serve (nutrition, contraindications, cacao sourcing, dosage)

June 19 - Navigating the journey (administration, combined effects)

*Classes will be recorded and made available only to people who register by 6pm PT on June 5.

*Includes access to a private Signal group for participants (OPTIONAL)

Registration: $199

Discount Bundle Option: Scroll down to get a 10% discount when registering for the course if you also buy a certain number of single serving cacao packets, a portable plug-in kettle and/or rechargeable frother.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

This course is open to all. However it will be designed for people who have already taken or who plan to take a psilocybin facilitator training (i.e. a 120-hour or similar training for offering legal psilocybin services).

ABOUT NICK MEADOR

Nick has been a healing and self-development facilitator for more than a decade. He has been working with ceremonial cacao since 2015. It quickly became an important tool in his process of recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Starting in 2016, Nick made many long trips through Central America and Mexico to learn more about where cacao comes from. This led to connecting with indigenous groups who were sustaining a historic cacao lineage in one way or another. Nick has been leading cacao facilitator trainings since 2017. In 2018 Nick launched Soul Lift Cacao as a social enterprise with the mission of sourcing artisanal cacao made by indigenous groups in the same country where it grows. In the time since, Nick has become a leader in the ceremonial cacao field, specifically on how to be ethical and responsible when sharing this ancient plant medicine in modern contexts. Then in 2023, after learning about Oregon’s new psilocybin services program, Nick began a 120-hour facilitator training at the Changa Institute. He did a final research project on the historical overlap and therapeutic synergy of ceremonial cacao and psilocybin mushrooms. In April 2024 he attended a psilocybin practicum with Right to Heal in Mexico, where he got to experience both facilitator and client sides of the work. He has a deep understanding of the psilocybin experience and how cacao can influence it.
