If you want to move from enjoying cacao yourself to learning how to hold thoughtful cacao spaces for other people, this is the Mother Earth training pathway.
Mother Earth is based in Ireland. The core learning is online and self-paced, so the online option can also suit learners joining from the UK, Europe, the USA and elsewhere internationally.
Choose the €397 Online Only course if you want to complete it from home, the €497 Online + 1-Day New Ross option if you also want practical time in the room with Katie Duggan and Garrett Grace, or add the €100 practical day later if you are already enrolled online.
The Practitioner Business Guide is included free with both the €397 and €497 training options. It is part of the later business section of the training, connecting your cacao learning with pricing, costs, finding customers, venues, collaborations, marketing and building a manageable practitioner offering. It can also be bought separately for €39 by other holistic and wellness practitioners. If you are enrolling in either full cacao training option, you do not need to buy it separately.
Start with your own cacao practice
You do not need to be an expert before joining the training. If you want to spend more time with cacao first, explore Cacao Rituals & Personal Practice or Katie’s 5-Day Amma Cacao Ritual Journey.
Learn across cacao origins
The training is not tied to one cacao brand or origin. Mother Earth works with cacao from Guatemala, Venezuela, Ecuador and India, including Amma cacao. You can explore our cacao by origin or explore Amma cacao from India.
What the training covers
Training covers cacao foundations, preparation, holding space, planning a circle, practical facilitation, confidence and the business side of getting started as a cacao practitioner.
After the training
If you go on to run circles, workshops or a studio, Mother Earth also has Cacao Practitioner Kits and a wider Wholesale & Trade pathway for suitable professional use.
WhatsApp learner community
Students on this pathway can access the dedicated Cacao Facilitator WhatsApp Community for course updates, questions and ongoing support. Access details are shared with enrolled students. This is separate from our free general Mother Earth community.
