CACAO SALVAJE a deliciously wild immersion

5 days / 4 nights

Nature, tribe and chocolate, what else can one ask for?

These days almost anything gets called a ‘Retreat’. The magic of words unite but also limit us.

We understand retreat as a physical and spiritual place that invites us to leave the noise and rush that consume us, day to day, to enter a ‘quantum time’.

And what is quantum time?

That liminal space where everything is possible, where the laws of man dissipate, where time extends, the clicks and ahas happen in our minds and saturated hearts.

We tend to go to retreats in search of rest and/or answers.

Well, we also come to this immersion in search of chocolate.

Chocolate.

Actually much, much, much more than chocolate.

Here we are talking of Cacao, and not just any Cacao but Ceremonial Cacao!

WILD CACAO aka CACAO SALVAJE is an immersion designed to go deeper, through the Wheel of Cacao, into the wisdom of Cacao as a Tree of Power.

During 5 days and 4 nights we will explore, play, inquire and connect with the spirit of this sacred tree, whose mission is to open the heart of all human beings to help us evolve through love.

LOVE

We believe that in these times we need even more of this ingredient. Huge amounts.

Cacao Sorceress

I am a wildly loving Cacao Sorceress & Nature lover. Weaver of ceremonies, delight & explorations. I grew up in Ecuador drinking Cacao and have been facilitating ceremonies for a decade. Founder of CacaoAmor. I export ceremonial Cacao from my homeland, collaborating with a local cooperative taking care of biodiversity and expanding the nurturing Medicine of Cacao to the Seven Directions.

Explorer of the XXI Century

Hedonistic, tribal, emotional, wildly serene. I firmly believe that the Body is technology put at our service for our evolution, and that Cacao has come to open our hearts, and remind us of our Sacred bond with Mother Earth.Their medicine came to me with the strength of a Mountain. Sharing the road since 2011.

What I liked

The love and freedom that Eva transmits in everything she does. It seemed to me a very original retreat, integrating contact with nature and the experience of discovering the world of the wolf in the field together with the identification of our inner wolf. All the activities of the retreat have been wonderful, I have enjoyed, learned, laughed, cried... Thanks to Pilar (mama-wolf) for cooking and taking care of us. Thanks to Carlos for sharing his experiences and wisdom. Thank you Eva for making it possible. (Automatic translation)
