Myself, Cacao & Self-Healing. It's been a journey.

Writer's picture: Jodie GreeneJodie Greene

My journey with Cacao started back in 2021 🫶🏽☕️

Sitting in ceremony with like-minded souls and being offered this sacred medicine for the first time. It was the most beautiful experience, I decided I needed to do this daily and hold space for myself 🙏🏼


So there I went, purchasing my cacao with only understanding how to hold space with myself in my own personal way, using reiki, meditation, and my own self-healing techniques. Cacao opened a door for me to help me connect deeper, with more love and more grace.


A year later, I decided to travel to the south of Ireland and do my in-person cacao level 1 facilitator course. I was held by Andi the loveliest soul, who welcomed us all to her home to share her journey with us. Andi is the owner of ARCH CACAO IRELAND.


This course gave me the experience of trying many different varieties of cacao including Ullulawl origin, Mama Amor and Springs.

Wow, what a whole new understanding and connection I had with this medicine. Not only was I gaining this beautiful healing modality, I was getting to share it with others. Although, during this day I was also going through something in my life that stalled my journey with cacao for a while as an offering.


The same day I completed this course and connected with the most amazing ladies, I was also going through something unexpected 🌈🤍


I emotionally disconnected from myself for a while, I was very much work hard, play hard and was very much being hard on my body in every aspect, mentally, emotionally and physically. I knew I couldn't keep going on the way I was. I stopped holding space for myself, and was giving so much of myself away to helping and holding space for others.


Fast forward a year, a new studio premises, working even harder I decided I need to ground and connect within again. I went on to study more about cacao alongside cacao source and gained my cacao ceremonialist and entrepreneurship certificate.


I found it, my love for cacao, it's medicine, it's many origins and history. Studying seed to ceremony, the ecology and agricultural settings, the medicinal benefits and much more.


Gaining confidence in holding space and sharing this sacred medicine holds deep within my heart. I may not offer space often, but when I do, I do it with all my love to bring you this sacred medicine, for you too to connect and find peace and love within your own healing journey 💚


Every one I have met on my own self-healing journey and my journey with cacao has helped me in every aspect. No one healing journey is the same, it is individual, it may be longer than some or you may find you are healing like the waves, up and down and going through the motions.


Some days I enjoy my ceremonial cacao as a daily dose, in replacement of a coffee or just for its incredible medicinal benefits. Other days I go all out, I create space for myself, and hold a full ceremony and celebrate this sacred time for me.


But one thing I do know, that every time I hold space with mama cacao, she is honoured, the hands she has been passed through and the journey from seed to ceremony. Handled with love and care for us all to enjoy in NI 💚


So whatever way you enjoy your cacao, however you hold space for yourself on your self healing journey. Always know what makes it so much more special is the it is individual for you, as you hold space for this sacred medicine and set intention, she in-turn holds space for you, Physically with the many different compounds within her plant, but also emotionally and spiritually.


I really wanted to share my journey personally with you all as raw as I could and as comfortable as I could. I am so happy to be in a space now that I can share and hold space for you all with this wonderful medicine 🥰 whether it be in a 1-1 setting or a group setting. It's always magical for me as it is for you.
