Breath and Cacao are two of the most beautiful paths to the heart and wholeness.
This trauma informed training is designed as a support module for BBTRS, breath workers, sound healers and other sacred space holders wishing to add the Medicine of Sacred Cacao and Group Facilitation to their tool belt.
Cacao brings together community. Community and the feeling of loving inclusion are two of the greatest gifts to healing developmental and acute traumas.
Here you will learn the sacred art of safe space holding, art of language-ing and use of vocal tone, group facilitation practices and how to work with Cacao as medicine in ceremony as well as other herbs to support, nourish and repair nerve damage caused by stress, tension and traumas.
This is a deeply nourishing training. Designed to cultivate deep personal and group resourcing to support integrated long term healing.
A huge component of our work @ School of Breath Medicine and BBTRS is felt sense work.
I like to call it body presencing.
By tuning our awareness inward to meet sensations we begin to cultivate a greater presence of emotional resilience and loss of identification to story related to the past.
I am here NOW!
As apposed to… I am this thing that happened to me.
Here in this moment the whole of you is welcome 🙌 all sensations, feelings and emotions.
May kind loving eyes carry a loving breath to make space for whatever is within đź’•
What is here NOW?
If I slow, lengthen and deepen my breath what are the effects?
May I welcome the whole of me with curious, loving kindness đź’–
It is my honour to create environments for you to discover your self, your voice, gifts and challenges. Through this embodiment process you will be empowered to confidently facilitate and hold group workshops and retreats. I will give you the understanding of how to make the most amazing heart felt Cacao brews with other supportive herbs to suit any season and individual need.

WHERE YOU WILL STAY
The Shanti Space
Find yourself held in the arms of nature; amongst ancient native corks and abundant fruit trees, swept up in the enchantment of a forest filled Portuguese valley.
The Shanti Space is a beautiful traditional Quinta set in the forest of a national park. Cocooned by nature, our neighbours are an Iberian Wolf Sanctuary, the Tapada de Mafra where many animals like deer, wild boar and owls also reside.
Within a 15 minute drive we reach the beach, see the fierce waves of the Atlantic coast and the charming surf town, Ericeira. Only half an hour from Lisbon and the airport, we hope to welcome friends from all over the world.
