<h3>About Cacao</h3>Cacao is chocolate in its natural form. A plant medicine from the Amazon that dates back to the first civilisation of the rainforest, the Olmecs. Since then it’s become know as the ‘food of the Gods’ for its powerful spiritual effects and numerous health benefits as well as being delicious to drink.Drinking cacao in a way that honours the ancient medicine is a nourishing and soothing experience. Cacao contains neurotransmitters and neuro-modulators chemicals that create the benefits experienced from drinking cacao. Cacao is wonderful support for the mental health, stabilising the mood and supporting the nervous system. It has the most beautiful ability to open your connection to heart, gently encouraging you to receive guidance that you are ready for, and helping you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself. <h3>About your host Amanda</h3>Amanda is a certified transformation coach, forest therapy guide, meditation teacher and cacao facilitator. Passionate about sharing nature’s medicine to nourish your wellbeing and ease self-connection.

An adventure that has led me to learn from others across the globe. Most recently training with Mayan Spiritual leaders in Guatamala who have granted me permission to hold rituals with the elements of the Mayan tradition.
