What is a Sacred Chocolate Shamanic Cacao Ceremony?
Hello Luminous Leaders and Welcome to Sacred Chocolate Shamanic Cacao.
I am so excited to be your guide and mentor on this journey.
By nature, this way of working with the medicine of Cacao in Ceremony is very Shamanic. I have developed this offering as a unique modality that has evolved over time, as a culmination of my own personal years of experience working in Ceremony, having been apprenticed into working with ancestral medicines in the Andes of Peru.
For some years now I have had requests from people all over the World to ‘teach’ them how to facilitate my version of Shamanic Cacao Ceremony that I call Sacred Chocolate. Until recently, my internal answer to this request was, ’How can I teach Ceremony online or in a short intensive course when the Ceremony is something that you ARE, not something that you DO?'
It’s something that through deep connection and consistent practice – you become… and that can take years. And then one day, I was given clear instruction as to the ‘how’. So, the Sacred Chocolate Shamanic Cacao lineage was born. With permission from my Maestro Puma to share elements of the lineage I have been initiated into the Andes, and blessed to carry - I am deeply honoured to share and support others on their Sacred Path to being the best facilitators and Shamanic Cacao Ceremonialists they can possibly be.
What you will learn here will not only set you up to create profound, powerful and transformative Ceremonies - it will also give you tools to assist you, your loved ones and community in everyday life.
You are the Lighthouse. Through this modality you will learn how to Anchor your Light in Service to your own personal journey of transformation, in service to our Pachamama, and to the awakening of your global community too.
Cacao is an Ancient Plant Medicine used by various cultures for eons as a way of connecting to Spirit. She is an ally that opens our hearts and guides our way.
The art of Ceremony lies in the power of your prayer. Through the union of Cacao and learning how to 'Become the Ceremony' you are the bridge between worlds. You are the Medicine, and although rooted in ancient tradition - your ceremony is uniquely yours to powerfully share.
This is a deep dive into your essence to connect you to your allies and bring forth your greatest gifts. You will then feel confident to share your ceremony with the world.
This is an intimate apprenticeship for those who feel called and ready to go deep.
Let the Ceremony begin!

APPRENTICESHIP LEVEL ONE - INITIATION
THE ART OF STEWARDING SHAMANIC SPACE
MEET THE MEDICINE
This apprenticeship is a deep dive into yourself through Ancient lineage and the Andean Altar. We intricately explore our inner realms and refine our relationship to ourselves and in turn to nature. This is the essence of Shamanism. We learn Sacred tools and rituals, and receive profound wisdom to help us see beyond the veils, so we are able to truly listen, feel, heal and be guided as to how we can be in best service to our communities.
We learn the power of Ceremony. We remember that we are masters of living energy.
By end of this apprenticeship you will be able to confidently facilitate your own Shamanic Cacao Ceremonies and weave this way of facilitation into any current modality you like to work with.
This programme is foundational to this particular altar - but it is definitely not basic. The work is deep, intricate and rich. It is for students of every level - even those who have been facilitating for years and are ready to take their Sacred containers next level. It is as perfect for those stepping onto their Sacred Path as Medicine woman, Medicine man.
LEARN FROM TRADITIONAL PERUVIAN MAESTROS
One of the things that excites me most about this apprenticeship is that I have an opportunity to introduce you to my main teachers, elders and brothers that are my family in the Andes.
I take at least two groups a year to the Mountains of Peru, but through this apprenticeship, my wish is to bring the mountains (Apu's) and the power of the Apu’s, to you.
This also gives me an opportunity to support my family and their communities during this time. It’s wonderful to share what we call in the Andes ‘Ayni’ which, in its simplest form, means sacred reciprocity.
I get to give back for all I have received and am now sharing with you.
Maestro Puma is my main teacher. He is a Maestro of Maestros. Struck by lightning as a child, he is a very powerful medicine man and shaman that comes from a long lineage of healers through his grandfather, Papa Kay. It’s rare to have this opportunity to be one to one with Puma, so it is a great honour to have him join us.
Maestro Sebastion is an elder from Q’eros nation - in the highest Andean peaks. This is where all of these traditions and lineage began, and for hundreds years were sacredly held in secret until the time and space came where ancient prophecy stated they were to be shared. Maestro Don Sebastion travels the world sharing his ancestral rituals and ceremony and has had books written about him. He is known to be a master of the ‘haywariquy’ or the ceremony of the Despacho offering.
Maestro Percy is also a carrier of this lineage and a profound Medicine Man. He has walked by my side since 2014 as one of my beloved guides, brothers and teachers. He carries deep presence, humour and incredible wisdom and knowledge of the ancestral Andean ways. He loves to share this wisdom with true and humble seekers.
These are some of the incredible beings and teachers you will have the honour to be in the presence of during this potent and powerful apprenticeship.
My maestros have offered to share their wisdom because they believe in what I am sharing with you, and trust that their lineage is being represented in a true and correct way.
They are happy to see how I am weaving the Andean traditions with the safe and sacred Medicine of Cacao, to create deeper connection, reverence and respect for Ceremony and Pachamama.

"If you are feeling called to this work then I would highly recommend Jemma's Training, I have personally worked alongside her for the last 5 years and I am so happy to see her offering this training. It really is unlike anything else I have seen available, Jemma weaves her experience and wisdom with ancient traditions and practices she has learned from her time in the Andes Mountains of Peru as well as from her travels globally.
This training is be so much more than learning to brew Cacao and how to hold a Ceremony, it goes very deep and you will leave with tools and practices you will use in your everyday life. That has been my honest personal experience with Jemma for myself and seeing the work she offers."
