Cacao Facilitator Training 2025
I am deeply excited to announce that this Autumn, I will be running one-to-one and small group training spaces for the Cacao Facilitator Training! This journey will teach you all that you need to know about Cacao, to be able to hold your own cacao ceremonies as a trained ceremonial space holder
I work with each person deeply, supporting each trainee to dream into their visions around their work with Cacao, and to bring them to fruition.
This course also involves deep self-healing and reflection through working intimately with this medicine, which can bring about deep transformation on all levels.
Training Options
​​
-
10 Week - Intimate Group Cacao Facilitator Training (In-person with maximum of 4 people)
This will be a fully held container that will teach you everything that you need to know about Cacao, so that you can hold your own ceremonies as a trained ceremonial space holder.
You will receive your teaching through embodiment practices, shamanic journeys, theory lessons, self-reflection, case-studies and home practice invitations. You will need to already have a connection and practice with Cacao to embark upon this training, as well as experience holding space in some way in your current work or life. You will also need a commitment and readiness to dive deep with your own healing, as well as learning.

8 Week - One-To-One Cacao Facilitator Training (Online + option for some in-person sessions)
If you are interested in embarking upon an intimate One-to-One Training Journey, then please contact me privately. I am happy and able to plan dates & times that suit you as much as I can, and will go through an Enquiry & Intention Setting call with you, to get clear on how I can support you individually to bring Cacao into your work and life in a truly aligned way. Similarly to the Facilitator Training above, You will receive your teaching through embodiment practices, shamanic journeys, theory lessons, self-reflection, case-studies and home practice invitations. You will need to already have a connection and practice with Cacao to embark upon this training, as well as experience holding space in some way in your current work or life. You will also need a commitment and readiness to dive deep with your own healing, as well as learning.
The One-to-One Training will most likely be online, although there may be options for some in-person sessions in The Yurt at an extra cost, depending on where you are in the country.

Testimonial:
"I undertook a 8-week cacao carrier training with Isla-Rose with a 2-month old baby - interesting choice of timing! But it was honestly the best decision I could have made, despite obvious challenges. The training was a deep and nurturing container for me to process my transition from maiden to mother.
Isla-Rose was so sensitive to my needs and curated the training to meet them. She was very well organised and communicative, which I really appreciated as it helped remind me to carve out the time to sit with cacao each day and reflect. The consistency of our communication really helped me to remain present and aware of how cacao’s medicine was showing up in my life. It also meant I felt clear about what my self learning tasks were that week and what was coming the following week.
Isla-Rose is deeply passionate about cacao and passing on responsibility for sharing this amazing heart medicine. Each week she would create a space that felt safe and magical, bringing in her experience in ritual and shamanic journeying. Her love for cacao is contagious and I would look forward to our session together all week!
The course was a great balance of information/content and of self exploration and journeying. It is structured, with space for following what comes up organically. I wanted to do some self exploration work, but I also wanted to receive solid training in facilitation - and got both.
I came away feeling confident to open sacred space for myself and others, which I really didn’t have the confidence or skills for before. I gained a belief in myself that allowed me to go deeper in visualisations and channeling.
I had some profound realisations and breakthrough moments during the 8 weeks and I’m still feeling the ripple effects during these integration weeks. I learnt so much about myself and my relationships. I’m so grateful to Isla-Rose, and for my deepening relationship with cacao as I go through this new phase of life."
