A school for cacao ceremonies, carried by its community.
World of Cacao is an online academy for cacao ceremony facilitators. Since 2023 more than 1,200 students in 58 countries have learned with us to prepare ceremonial cacao, hold a safe space and guide their own circles.
One wish: teach the cacao ceremony properly.
World of Cacao began in 2023 with a small team. The idea was simple: a training that is practical, respectful of the roots of cacao and open to everyone who feels called to hold space for others, wherever they live.
Today the training is carried by our community. Experienced facilitators and graduates teach, answer questions and welcome every new student. Not one teacher, but a whole circle that keeps growing.
- 2023The facilitator training goes online. First students in spring.
- 20241,000 students. The circle grows beyond Europe and North America.
- 20251,200 students. The community takes over the teaching.
- 2026Students in 58 countries.
Three things guide everything we teach.
Respect
Cacao has a long history in Mesoamerica. We teach where it comes from and how to work with it with gratitude.
Practice
Every lesson leads to something you can do: prepare the cacao, open the circle, guide the people in front of you.
Community
Nobody learns to hold space alone. Our students and graduates support each other in every step.
A growing circle around the world.
