Cacao: A retreat into the heart.

...Winter has just begun.

It’s the time of looking within, of slowing down into rest and reflection.

On the first weekend of winter you are invited to deepen and retreat into and with the medicine of the heart; Cacao.

With the beautiful Raven’t Nest at Venus Bay as our home for 2 nights we immerse ourselves in all things cacao and nature. This intimate retreat is limited to 13 people.

Friday evening arrive and settle in with out first dinner together.

Saturday morning we dive right in with a 2-3 hour long cacao ceremony.

After lunch there’s two more workshops on Mayan wisdom and working directly with the cacao before dinner and an early night in preparation for a sunrise start on Sunday.

Slowly we will gather in the yurt to meet with Mayan teachers who will lead us in a Mayan Fire ceremony with cacao - a unique experience.

After this we gather for a big brunch and closing circle before departure Sunday afternoon.

Organized by

Audrey is a Cacao Ceremonialist with a playful presence. She has been working with the medicine of Cacao for 8 years. She believes wholeheartedly in its power to support great healing of each individual heart and the collective.

In 2014 Audrey began “studying”, or ultimately “un-learning”, with Keith on his porch in Guatemala where he runs regular Cacao Ceremonies. She has since sat in about 150 ceremonies over four years and feels much gratitude for the healing she has gone through and continues to receive through this connection.

In 2017 Audrey began working with and translating ceremonies for Nana Marina Cruz, a Mayan Daykeeper or spiritual guide. This relationship opened her up to incredible experiences and connection to the Mayan spiritual ways, the sacred calendar and the fire. 

Audrey has permission from her Mayan teachers to work with this medicine and is honoured to be bringing the special criollo cacao from Coban and the women's collective of Ruk'u'x elew at Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.
