Travel to and from the venue
Eleven years ago, after an Ayahuasca Ceremony in 2012, Rebekah was given the message to find Cacao and bring it back to Europe, as an essential medicine for the West.
Travelling up from the Peruvian Amazon and finding it in Guatemala, the Mayan heartland, she left behind all her possessions swapping them for kilos of Cacao, and was one of the first to bring ceremonial-grade cacao to the UK, and start holding regular cacao ceremonies.
Rebekah has an intimate connection with the Spirit of Cacao and, as an experienced Plant Medicine Shaman of 24 years, she is an expert at holding safe and supported space.
“I loved coming together with women from all walks of life on the same journey as me. With the same love for Cacao and the desire to share her magic with the world.
I love Rebekah’s knowledge and true connection with the plants and her purpose. I love how she is never the guru but always guiding us back to our own knowing and connection. ”
Cacao is the medicine that opens the heart and reduces stress, anxiety and mild depression.
This transformational training will enable you to heal your own wounds, whilst empowering you to work with Cacao. Only when we have healed ourselves, can we truly assist and serve others.
You will be guided on a profound journey to connect with the Spirit of Cacao, open your heart, heal old wounds, and remove blockages and fears so you can hold space for others to feel the loving energy of this sacred plant medicine.
This training will also set you up as a Ritual Cacao Cacaoista®, so you can be part of Cacao’s mission to spread her medicine around the world.
If you are considering this training then Cacao is calling you.
“The deep ceremonies were the most useful part. I had already been holding ceremonies prior, but the shamanic journeys Rebekah facilitated on the training enabled me to go deeper within, dissolve blocks and allow me to hear better how Cacao wants to communicate with me and through me. Thus building my own trust with the medicine. ”
Rebekah has been called to run this specific training, because Cacao is a community orientated plant, which means she prefers to empower communities so everyone benefits. She has communicated with Rebekah that the easiest way to spread the Cacao love is to empower Cacaoistas to share the love.
This training will give you everything you need, if you want to use ceremonial-grade Cacao as a plant medicine.
This training will also give you access to a growing community of cacao lovers, a rising media presence, and other business possibilities that come with joining Ritual Cacao.
Together we are stronger and more powerful.
This fully inclusive retreat is in a luxury villa in Bedfordshire with orthopaedic beds, ensuite bathroom in all rooms, an outdoor heated swimming pool, hot tub, yoga studio and 2 acres of beautiful gardens.
“...the accommodation, and the food have a warmth and brightness that really leaves one with a good feeling.”
“The vegan gluten free food was wonderful, thoroughly enjoyed. Trying to cook the same at home, but it’s not the same.”
