About this Event

REGISTER HERE: https://cacaotraining0915.eventbrite.com/ Have you heard about the magical potential of ceremonial cacao and wonder what it's all about? Or have you experienced it for yourself and want to learn how to share it with others? In this online training, Soul Lift Cacao founder Nick Meador will explain everything you need to know to serve cacao in a ceremony, yoga class, ecstatic dance, or similar setting. This course is designed for those who already have training and experience in holding sacred space, but it's open to anyone who would like to learn more about cacao. Nick traveled throughout Central America connecting with cacao farms, collectives, and experts, and has been training people to share cacao on their own since 2017. While cacao is a gentle plant ally, it's very important to receive training from an expert before sharing cacao in a workshop or ceremony. Here's your chance! **Nick will be donating 5% of profits from this training to a charitable cause in Guatemala. Soul Lift Cacao currently sources exclusively from family farms in Guatemala, so it's important to give back to these communities! ABOUT CEREMONIAL CACAO: Cacao is the natural, unprocessed form of chocolate grown in tropical regions around the world. Most people know cacao as a superfood. It has possibly the highest amount of antioxidants of any food. Cacao contains beneficial minerals like iron and magnesium. And the main active compound, theobromine, gives a boost of energy without the crash or cravings that come from caffeine (which is actually very sparse in cacao). Yet cacao also has another aspect not spoken about in health food stores. Legends tell of ancient Mesoamerican civilizations using cacao for introspective and celebratory purposes, calling it the “Food of the Gods” and even trading it like currency. This more mysterious "plant medicine" side of cacao offers the potential to put you more in touch with your body and your soul. You can gain insights into the best direction moving forward, as well as the focus and motivation to take action towards those goals. You'll be amazed how quickly you can learn to prepare and serve cacao so that your clients and community members can experience a positive impact in their lives!

TESTIMONIAL FROM A SOUL LIFT CACAO TRAINING: "I was a cacao skeptic when I first met Nick at at festival... The spirit of cacao must have followed me home, because shortly after I became very interested in the supposed plant medicine. I thought it would be a unique tool and experience to add to the services that I offer at my studio. I decided to sign up for Nick's online webinar in December 2017, after six months off of sugar, chocolate, and coffee. Nick's background in cacao was truly what inspired my love for it. Where the cacao is grown, how it is cared for, and the tender attention the cacao demands in order to produce fruit – all those details fascinated me! I am grateful for the cacao webinar and the opportunity to connect with others who are passionate about cacao and sharing its benefits with their community. With the knowledge and experience from the webinar I feel blessed with a whole new appreciation for the true value of cacao. Thank you Nick for the experience, and also for your willingness to share your knowledge so it can be expanded upon by other teachers and those who hold space for transformation. With gratitude, Erica Rae." ABOUT NICK: Nick Meador is an RYT-200 yoga instructor, life coach, holistic event producer, mindful entrepreneur, and world explorer.
