ROOTS & RITUALS: CACAO KINSHIP 3-MONTH PROGRAM
In this 3-month program, you will be guided into the depth of cacao’s biocultural landscape – honoring her as a plantcestor in service of the Earth. You will remember your own sacred connection to this planet and awaken your indigenous heart – rooted in kinship, reciprocity, and belonging.
You will explore the sacredness of cacao, receiving her messages for humanity, learning how to enter into relationship with her, and discovering how she can become your ally on your personal return to the Earth – beyond concepts, through lived experience. Through ritual practices, living prayers, and embodied teachings, you will learn about her spirituality, her evolution in this world, and how her presence continues to shape humanity.
This offering serves the greater good of all. Part of the tuition goes directly to our Safeguarding the Biocultural Heritage of Cacao project, where we aim to preserve her ancestral seeds in a dedicated seed bank.
