Do you desire to share cacao with others, whether it be your loved ones or with your community at large?

Are you eager to deepen your work with cacao and integrate the medicine into all areas of your life?


This container is for anyone that is already hosting cacao ceremonies OR anyone new to facilitation that would like to learn how to incorporate KAKAO into their offerings with integrity and confidence.

The intention for this container is to pass along the wisdom that Makenzie (and guest speakers TBA) have gained from 7 years of sharing cacao with thousands of men & women worldwide.

The course will include (but is not limited to) how to create sacred space, the core values upheld in every container, and the key principles for cultivating truly transformational offerings.

You will walk away from this container feeling more confident to host your own cacao circles with integrity and humility. This course is intended to empower you in offering your gifts to your community in a bigger way, while holding you accountable to being truly embodied in the wisdom of cacao and your Soul's Truth.

NOT a block (in non-summer months)

KAKAO is not sold as a solid block, but rather as a granular product that you can easily scoop.

But rest assured, this is Ceremonial Cacao Paste that you're looking for.

If KAKAO was left in the sun, it would melt and return to its original block form, which we simply chopped in a food processor for your convenience.

In non-summer months, it will arrive to your doorstep as a granular product that you can scoop easily with a tablespoon.
