Cacao Apprenticeship

Initiation into the healing energy & spirit of Cacao

Deepen your connection to the spirit of Cacao while learning to hold space and facilitate sacred ceremonies with Cacao in your unique way.

Much more than a simple how-to facilitate Cacao ceremonies, this is a oldschool apprenticeship where you learn to work with the medicine through real life experience and mentoring throughout the learning journey. Join us as we venture into the wilds, both within and around, guiding you on a deep personal healing journey while studying the healing craft with Cacao.

Cultivating a deep personal relationship, practice & devotion with the spirit of Cacao is the foundation for any Cacao practitioner

It is through the strong foundation of a deep personal relationship to Cacao that the healing energies of Cacao together with you can flow freely. Just as each practitioner is unique, so too is the space they hold, guided by their individual gifts, magic and embodied practices, and shaped by their co-creation with Cacao.

Cacao is not merely a tool; it is a wise and healing plant spirit. Like a skilled weaver, Cacao helps us integrate and expand our gifts, potentials, and magic as we serve her.

Eva Maria:

“Play, rest, nourishment & enjoyment is also medicine and equally important as that which we call ‘hard work’. For me, Cacao is embodiment medicine in the very best way!” 

  • Jeg oplever at være lærling, som et dybere forløb, der er mere rettet mod min proces som menneske, som student af planterne og som kommende facilitator. Samtidig er der plads til at få prøvet tingene i praksis, som giver en helt anden viden end hvad man kan læse eller lytte sig til – den levede erfaring i kroppen. Ud over den grundlæggende viden om cacao, så åbner lærlingeforløbet også for en mere personligt skræddersyet proces, der løbende tilrettes hvor jeg og vi er. Der er tryghed i at kunne spørge og også blive støttet med individuelle sessioner med plads til at kigge indad for at vokse ind i facilitatorrollen. Jeg tror, vi som mennesker egentlig oplever stor tryghed ved at kunne læne os ind i den viden, som en mester har – her er en mester ment som en person, der har gået og stadig går vejen, og derfor er længere fremme end vi selv endnu. På forskellige vis møder vi i livet folk, som på bestemte områder er gået længere end vi selv er lige dér. Det er en gave at lære af den viden og de erfaringer, som de besidder, og som muliggør en kærlig, tryg og nærende læreproces. Jeg har lært meget mere i dette format!

  • Eva Maria er en fantastisk dygtig facilitator. Jeg har kun oplevet Eva Maria som en yderst dedikeret medicin kvinde, hvor hun kobler det fineste bånd mellem hendes professionalisme, visdom & passion. Eva Maria er inspirerende & byder velkommen til autentisk nærvær med dig selv, andre & planterne. Eva Maria besidder en viden, som sjældent findes udenfor Perus jungle, så det er en gave, at Eva Maria har valgt at bringe sin dybe visdom & sit klare lys med til Danmark, så vi har mulighed for at lære af hende. Når Eva Maria holder rum er det med et roligt & groundende sind. Hun møder dig i øjenhøjde & jeg har kun følt mig mødt & holdt. Eva Maria får mine kærligste & varmeste anbefalinger. At møde Eva Maria & lade hende guide dig i en enkelt ceremoni eller et længere forløb er en transformerende investering i dit liv. Af hjertet tak, Eva Maria”.

  • “Eva Maria er en dybt passioneret kvinde med visdom ud over hendes år. Og hendes kontakt til planterne er fuldstændig magisk! Den kakao Eva Maria laver er den bedste jeg har prøvet! Hun kán bare noget med hele sit væsen der sætter aftryk på den medicin hun frembringer. At læne sig ind i hendes univers er en selvkærlig gave til din sjæl. Og nu kan du komme med på den fineste rejse, sammen med Eva Maria og kakao i skøn samhørighed. Se dét er en GOD ide!!”
