The Cacao Experience

Saoró’s Cacao Facilitator Training Program

In this comprehensive program, we will embark on a journey exploring the sacred and transformative qualities of Cacao, as well as develop the necessary skills and knowledge to guide others in their own Cacao experiences.

Cacao, also known as the “food of the gods,” has been used for centuries in ceremonial and spiritual practices. It has the power to open our hearts, expand our consciousness, and deepen our connection with ourselves and the world around us. As a Cacao facilitator, you will have the opportunity to share this ancient wisdom and facilitate profound healing and transformation for others

Cacao has been a very gentle and subtle teacher, however when needed, packs a punch!  It has been extremely emotional.   Sitting with Cacao has helped me give myself permission to stop. To listen. To feel. To learn. To trust and to love… myself.

Nikki Solyom

When I began holding Cacao ceremonies myself, I found that the guided meditations would pour through me effortlessly — as though her spirit was speaking through me, like a river of wisdom and story.

Gary Patterson

As a young man growing up in the west of Ireland I had shut down my feeling heart, it was too painful. Nothing dramatic but a consistent stream of “big boys don’t cry, get up and get on with it, don’t be a soft lad, toughen up...

Introducing South American Shamanic Waters

Saoró is delighted to present a range of Shamanic Waters for individual & group ceremonial use. Used for generations by the Shamans of South America in ceremony and in healing rituals, these waters can act as an aid to open or close sacred space, to clear heavy energy, as protection, as a blessing, to give thanks, to welcome abundance and luck into your life.

**Saoró Poetry Month**

The Foxglove and the Bee
By Kieran Coogan
@kieran.coogan

You fit me
Like a foxglove
Opening before me
With colour and scent

You lay a velvet runway
That I may land and
In the buzzy frenzy
Get covered
Head to wing
In your foxy dust

You get me
Like no other
So much so
That after my little dance
I go weak in my bees’ knees
Tumbling inside you
Again and again.

**Saoró Poetry Month**

Sisters
By Shauna Sweeney
@soulexpansion_withshauna

Silence.
It has become, a place that feels safe
Navigating with a smile
the people pleasing face
Polite and neat 
Not a speck of dust to be seen
On the outside she is ok 
From the inside the fire burns
Sacred rage up in flames 
The gripping choke hold of our patriarchal race 
Terrified of our power 
To feel the unexpressed case
Years upon years 
Who will be the one to break the chain
To the fallen women of Magdalene 
We feel your pain 
Swept under the carpet 
Not a word breathed til this day 
The abandonment.
The isolation.
Sheer fear, guilt and shame.
Your story is our story
We are here to make a change 
The truth of the holy grail
Will lead us through with faith 
Standing hand in hand 
With the great Mother 
Synchronistic beating of our hearts with the land 
Taking up space 
Reclaiming our sovereignty 
Coming back home
To the one that will always be 
Here’s to the return of 
Divine femininity

**Give a sustainable gift this Easter**

This Easter why not give the gift of ceremonial cacao instead of an Easter egg?

Every Easter, our supermarket shelves are filled with cheap, unsustainable chocolate eggs, which puts a huge strain on our planet and on cacao crops and farmers.

Perhaps cheap is the wrong word because someone has to pay for it….

>> Farmers in West Africa (where the cacao for many of these chocolate eggs come from) are paid as little as $1 per day for their work
>>In this region, there is major canopy destruction as rainforest is cleared for intensive cacao plantations

Urge friends and family to choose fairly & sustainably this Easter. Choose cacao and craft chocolate from ethical sources that support the rainforest and indigenous communities.

Saoró supports Cacao farmers and communities that plant cacao trees with a diversity of other trees and shrubs to restore Canopy. The co-ops we work with pay the top rate to their farmers.

Let’s make a difference - one bar at a time…
