Follow your heart.
The forest remembers you
Offering your heart to the Sacred Cacao elixir is to open the door to a gentle, accepting and wise old teacher. It is the medicine of the tropical forest, weaving its rich, earthy texture and smell around you like a sweet grandmother’s hug. When you tune respectfully into the intention of self-transformation a beautiful, gentle golden alchemy is created. It can open our hearts, create deeper connection with the natural world, our intuition and any unseen guidance.
If you are still reading this, Mama Cacao is calling you. It offers permission to soften. To feel. To remember that your heart is not a problem to be solved, but a doorway to be opened.
All my events are available in English, Spanish or Italian upon request and are gender, age, spiritual and diversity inclusive. I also welcome all physical abilities, but please be in touch before as not all venues are appropriate.
Sacred Cacao ceremonies
“It was a great pleasure to experience Camille’s Cacao ceremony. The most gorgeous and nurturing Cacao I ever had in the most loving container. So good to feel how she brings her loving presence to it with her lineage. I was especially touched by the taste of dark feminine sensual creative energy, so exquisite and inspiring.”

~ WHAT HAPPENS IN CEREMONY ~
The invitation.
However you're called, there's a way in
Before any ritual I invite a simple and clear preparation. During the ritual we share intentions and emotions, and we connect in an embodied way. Always guided by the nourishing spirit of this plant. We drink Cacao together and let it do what it knows how to do: open the heart, soften the body, deepen the listening.
I bring forth our ancestral, wild and sacred selves into the space. With the support at my back of the Venezuelan Amazonian forest and ancestors, we connect deeply to the four elements and the higher frequencies inside of us.
Just know that it is an inclusive space and the invitation is always the same: let go of expectations and trust that your journey was exactly what was needed. Cacao loves to move bodies, hearts and minds.
What you receive in ceremony doesn’t end when you leave the circle. Many people report feeling more present with their loved ones, more connected to their intuition, softer with themselves. The medicine works long after the cup is empty.
A note on safety: Cacao is a gentle ally, but she works with the body in real ways. If you are pregnant, on antidepressants, have a serious heart condition, or have questions about your body’s readiness , please reach out before ceremony. I’m here to help you discern if this is your time, but I do not offer any specific medical advice.
~ THE DIVINE GIFT OF CACAO ~
My personal story.
How Cacao found me
In 2016 the sweet sacred medicine of Cacao found me during a trip to England. In the ceremony I felt like my Abuela had come to hold me in her arms all night.
I have been working with Cacao and for Cacao since then. Working very personally to heal my feminine lineage, with my connection to my womb and cycles. These were the moments that for me held deep medicine with my ancient roots, my vulnerability, my strength and my own medicine and divine connection.
With Cacao I have taken a journey to start to heal my inner child as well as healing all the history that my powerful, complex and wild country Venezuela has with Cacao, including the wounds of African slavery and indigenous culture assault. Did you know that some DNA studies suggest that the very first trees of Cacao were born in Venezuela, bordering Colombia?
That is my connection to this plant. I bring forth into the space our ancestral, wild and sacred selves. With the support at my back of my ancestors and the Amazonian forest, its magnificent tepuys with majestic waterfalls and it’s living beings.
My intention is to hold transformative, inclusive and nurturing spaces where we can dive deep and journey into our centre. All are welcome. This is an inclusive sacred space beyond religions and beliefs. I connect to the Great Mystery and let it flow through me, uniting a very personal tantric alchemical energy connecting the earth and sky, the feminine and masculine in freedom. In love, for love and with love.

03.
The Sacred Threshold
Have you ever received Cacao as a sacred gift on your skin?
This is a deeply personal shamanic ritual offered only in presence for anyone standing at a threshold. A moment of transition, release or deep listening. The drum opens the space. Cacao is offered and then brought to the skin, drop by drop, wherever it calls. A blessing. An anointing. A rebirth.
“The first thing I felt on arriving there was great care and attention. I felt welcomed and seen. The deep quality of presence and her conducting is really attentive, gentle and strong. The words she uses, the music, the movements, the objects, everything speaks of great competence, that competence that is earned over years and years. I felt that she was really there, present and respectful, eager to make everyone experience, in their own way, the richness she brings. I felt no ego, no need to do or express or show more, but a great generosity and a putting herself at service.”
