Who this is for
This training is for you if…
Picture it: candles lit, a warm cup in every hand, a room full of people who came because of you. The quiet after the last song. Someone thanks you with tears in their eyes. This is the work you have been longing for.
You already hold space for others
As a yoga teacher, coach, therapist or energy worker, and you want to add cacao ceremonies to what you offer.
You dream of your own circles
You want to invite people, guide them and create moments they will remember for a long time.
You want to help people open their hearts
You feel how much people long for connection, and you want to give them a place for it.
You have felt the call for a while
Cacao keeps showing up in your life, and something tells you it is time. Maybe it began in a hard season of your life. Now you want to give others what cacao gave you.
And if you simply want to deepen your own practice, for yourself and the people you love, you are just as welcome.

The question almost everyone asks
“Am I good enough to hold space for others?”
Nearly half of the graduates who answered our survey said this was their biggest hurdle. It was not the cacao or the time. It was this one question.
Here is the truth they found: you are enough. You always were. You do not need to be perfect to guide a ceremony. You need to be present, prepared and willing to begin. The training gives you the preparation. The rest grows with every circle.
- Step by step. Every module builds on the last, so you always know what comes next.
- Practice for your beliefs. Exercises to let go of the voice that says you are not ready.
- Your first participants. First steps to invite people and fill your first circle.
- Never alone. A community of students and graduates who felt exactly the same.
“The highlight was my first ceremony. Because of the training I was not even one minute nervous. I knew I am ready.”Graduate, Facilitator Certification

The community behind the training
Carried by a circle, not by one person.
World of Cacao began with a small team. Today the training is carried by our community: experienced facilitators and graduates who teach, answer questions and welcome every new student.
When you join, you do not learn from one voice. You become part of a circle of facilitators in 58 countries, most of them women, who hold ceremonies, share what works and lift each other up.

Before you start.
Is the training really 100% online?
Yes. Every lesson, the workbook and the exams are online. You can start any day and learn from anywhere, in any time zone.
How much time do I need?
Each module takes about three to five hours. We recommend six weeks, but you set the pace, even with a full-time job and kids.
Will I be on my own?
No. You can ask questions in our private student community and get answers from experienced facilitators and graduates.
Do I need any experience?
No. The training starts with the cacao itself and builds you up to guiding a group.
Can I lead my own ceremonies afterwards?
Yes. With the Facilitator Certification you can guide ceremonies in person and online.
Is the certificate recognized?
You receive a personal certificate issued by World of Cacao. Many of our graduates show it on their website and in their offers.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. The Personal training in 2, the Certification in 3 and the Business Program in up to 6 monthly payments.
What if it is not right for me?
You have our 14 day peace of mind guarantee. If it does not feel right within 14 days, write to us and we will refund you. Conditions apply.
Is it respectful to the origins of cacao?
It is a fair question, and we take it seriously. You learn where cacao comes from, how the peoples of Mesoamerica have honored it for thousands of years, and how to name those roots in your own ceremonies. We also show you how to choose cacao that is fairly sourced.
Where do I get ceremonial cacao?
We show you how to find high quality, ethical and sustainable ceremonial cacao wherever you live.
