At School of Cacao, we are deeply rooted in honoring the ancient spirit of cacao, bridging its traditional essence with modern practices that connect, inspire, and heal. Founded with a passion for preserving the integrity of ceremonial cacao, our school offers a space to rediscover this sacred plant’s profound connection to community, culture, and self.
Our journey began in the heart of Chiapas, Mexico, where we partner with women-led farms producing organic Criollo cacao—an heirloom variety known for its rich flavor and historical lineage. Through these partnerships, we ensure that our cacao is cultivated and sourced sustainably, supporting local farmers and honoring the land.
We believe cacao is more than just a plant; it is a bridge to ancestral wisdom, a guide in the journey of self-discovery, and a facilitator of deep connection. Our offerings include cacao ceremony facilitation training, workshops, and immersive experiences designed to empower individuals to lead transformative cacao ceremonies and integrate the wisdom of cacao into their lives.
At School of Cacao, we teach with respect for tradition while embracing innovation, blending historical knowledge with contemporary insights into neurochemistry, spiritual practice, and ethical sourcing. Each of our courses, from the art of ceremony creation to the science of cacao’s effects, is crafted to offer a comprehensive understanding of cacao’s magic and power.
