A few weeks from now

Your circle. A warm cup of Cacao in every hand. And you, holding the space.

You prepared the room an hour ago. Now the people you invited sit with you in a circle, friends, neighbors, maybe a few from your yoga class. You set the intention, you pour the Cacao, you guide them through breath, meditation and sharing.

When the last song ends, the room is quiet. Someone thanks you with tears in their eyes. Someone asks when the next circle is.

  • A sacred space you created for others
  • Hearts that opened, yours included
  • Something meaningful next to the life you already have

This is what our students came for: 93% to create a sacred space for people, 76% to open their hearts.

What you can expect

What the training gives you, and the people in your circle.

  • Open your heart. With your first cup of Ceremonial Cacao and a guided heart meditation, you feel it already in your first week.
  • Connect with yourself. Every Ceremony begins with your own intention. You set yours in the very first lesson, and you come back to it again and again.
  • Body and mind as one. Grounding and embodiment practices bring you out of your head and into your body, calm and present.
  • Recharge your energy. A warm cup of Ceremonial Cacao and a quiet Ceremony become your way to refill, for yourself and later in your own circles.
Who this is for

This training is for you if…

Add Cacao Ceremonies to what you already offer, or start your very first circle. Most of our students felt the call for a while before they started. Maybe you recognize yourself here.

You dream of your own circles

You want to invite people, guide them and create moments they will remember for a long time.

You want to help people open their hearts

You feel how much people long for connection, and you want to give them a place for it.

You have felt the call for a while

Cacao keeps showing up in your life, and something tells you it is time. Maybe it began in a hard season of your life. Now you want to give others what Cacao gave you.

You already hold space for others

As a yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, coach or therapist, and you want to add Cacao Ceremonies to what you already offer.

And if you simply want to deepen your own practice, for yourself and the people you love, you are just as welcome.

The question almost everyone asks

“Am I good enough to hold space for others?”

Nearly half of our graduates say this was their biggest hurdle. Not the Cacao. Not the time. Just this one question.

Here is what they found: confidence comes from preparation. You do not need to be perfect to guide a Ceremony. The training gives you that preparation, step by step, so you walk into your first circle ready.

  • Step by step. Every module builds on the last, so you always know what comes next.
  • Practice for your beliefs. Exercises to let go of the voice that says you are not ready.
  • Your first participants. First steps to invite people and fill your first circle.
  • Ask anything. Facilitators and graduates from 58 countries answer your questions in the student group.

Questions

Before you start.

Do I still get lifetime access? Only until November 30.

Yes, if you enroll by November 30. This is the last month we include lifetime access: your training stays yours for good, to come back to whenever you need it. From December 1, new students no longer get lifetime access.

Is the training in English?

Yes. All lessons, the workbook and the exams are in English. Students from 58 countries take the training, for many of them English is not their first language.

Do I need any experience?

No. The training starts with the Cacao itself and builds you up to guiding a group.

How do I find my first participants?

You get an invitation template, a list to write down your first 20 people, three example posts and a 7-Day Starter Challenge that gets you talking to real people about your first circle.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Every training can be paid in monthly installments. The number of payments depends on the training.

Is the training really 100% online?

Yes. Every lesson, the workbook and the exams are online. You can start any day and learn from anywhere, in any time zone.

How much time do I need?

It depends on your training: 4 weeks for the Cacao Ceremony Training, 6 weeks for the Certification and 10 weeks for the Business Program. Each module takes about three to five hours, and you set the pace, even with a full-time job and kids.

Will I be on my own?

No. You can ask questions in our private student community and get answers from experienced facilitators and graduates.

Can I lead my own Ceremonies afterwards?

Yes. With the Facilitator Certification you can guide Ceremonies in person and online.

Can I also hold Ceremonies online?

Yes. You learn how to lead a Cacao Ceremony online, so you can hold circles for people wherever they live, not only in your town.

Is the certificate recognized?

You receive a personal certificate issued by World of Cacao, the same certificate our graduates in 58 countries receive. Our graduates show it on their website, in their studio and in every offer they create.

What if it is not right for me?

Try the training for 14 days. If it is not for you, one email is enough and you get your money back. And if you finish all six weeks and still do not feel ready to hold your first circle, send us your Ceremony plan within 90 days of enrolling. We will give you personal feedback until you do. Conditions apply.

Is it respectful to the origins of Cacao?

It is a fair question, and we take it seriously. You learn where Cacao comes from, how the peoples of Mesoamerica have honored it for thousands of years, and how to name those roots in your own Ceremonies. We also show you how to choose Cacao that is fairly sourced.

You are only one decision away

A few weeks from now, you could be pouring Cacao for your very first circle.

Start this week. In your first week you prepare your first cup of Ceremonial Cacao. Lifetime access for everyone who enrolls until November 30.
