Exciting news

Saoro’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.

Healing & Seeing Through Poetry

Poetry also allows me to approach the painful in myself, to gently explore it, understand its underlying quality, to uncover the shapes of grief or anger hidden beneath a difficult event or feeling. It allows the discovery of the nature of what I am trying to approach - to understand that “it is like this”, “it is like that” is incredibly helpful - it allows for greater insight.

Ceremonial Cacao & a Sustainable Model for Cacao Farmers

The craft sustainable chocolate sector allows farmers and consumers to be so much more connected. A much greater share of the consumer's spending power inevitably flows back to the farmer/processor at origin and the farmer's broader community. Greater onshoring of value-added processes as well as more traceability of the ingredients also allows the 'where' and 'how' cocoa is grown to become part of the consumer experience, enjoyment and eventually brand preference. After all, great chocolate will always taste even better when its doing good for the planet and people that made it possible.

Shelter

My luck is a cardboard box / And food that is scarce / I don’t belong / In a world that does not care / That cannot distinguish / My pavement body / On the footpath

I started my journey with cacao in 2020. My journey brought me to Galway by packing up and just leaving. Galway is medicine to me and it's where I would go to escape for breaks until I knew I had to be there in order to survive.
