“Facilitation is an art form. Chocolako has mastered this art form. This training gave me so much more than just teachings about cacao and what it takes to create an impactful ceremony.

Though these aspects are thoroughly covered, this training was about everything required behind the scenes to forge oneself into who you need become to step into the role of facilitator with confidence and authenticity, uninhibited by any preconceived ideas about who you are and what is holding you back. This is about expanding and unveiling the essential nature that already exists within. This was a revitalization of the inner majesty that has always been there and in turn – a reminder of what exists inside us all if only we shed the stories and cultivate a relationship with our inner sanctum.

I am immensely grateful for the example Chocolako set regarding what it means to be a strong yet deeply nurturing presence, fully in her power, and helping me to remember how to step back into mine. If you feel called to this training, it is for a reason. And if you trust that and show up genuinely and ready to receive, you will grow in deeply profound, irreversible, and magnificent ways.”

MIANA, USA

“I am very happy to have joined Chocolako for her cacao ceremony facilitation training. Before the course started I was looking to learn more about cacao, experience the process of making cacao from tree to cup and also learn important skills to hold safe and good quality spaces for ceremony.

I was not disappointed. This course was in my opinion excellent. I have learned valuable skills that are also transferable to other space holding events and I feel competent and confident leaving to facilitate my own ceremonies.

Guest teachers were brought in to offer specific insight and they were very good.

Excursions were fun, enjoyable and educational.

Chocolako holds her training with genuine care for her participants. An experienced and educated woman full of wisdom, keen to share what she has learned with others.”

She guided us with so much love and compassion and I definitely felt much more confident after the training .

I felt I got more than I expected with other external teachers included in the rich program.”

PETRA, NORWAY

“This training has brought me so much more than learning about facilitation of a cacao ceremony.This training has given me the knowledge and confidence to FACILITATE, whether that be cacao ceremony, any other kind of ceremony or gathering or a retreat.

Chocolako is a very experienced, wise and fun teacher. She has this amazing energy which she radiates to her surroundings. Chocolako has truly thought me to be confident and embrace the divine woman in me, which I am forever grateful for!”
