AUDREY
Audrey is a Cacao Ceremonialist with a playful presence. She has been working with the medicine of cacao for over 8 years. She believes wholeheartedly in its power to support great healing of each individual heart and the collective.
Audrey left Australia in 2014 to embark on her own deep healing; in search of answers to her health troubles - namely her anxiety. What she found was a beautiful teacher and guide in the form of “chocolate” as well as an incredible mentor in the form of Keith Wilson who is renowned for his work with cacao.
In 2014 Audrey began “studying”, or ultimately “un-learning”, with Keith on his porch in Guatemala where he runs regular Cacao Ceremonies. She has since sat in over 150 ceremonies and feels much gratitude for the healing she has gone through and continues to receive through this connection with both Keith and this medicine.
Her journey has also involved exploration of the self through yoga, tantra, dance, shadow-work, meditation and breathwork.
MAYAN CONNECTION
In 2017 Audrey began working with and translating ceremonies for Nana Marina Cruz, a Mayan Daykeeper or spiritual guide. This relationship opened her up to incredible experiences and connection to the Mayan spiritual ways, the sacred calendar and the fire. Audrey continues to work with other Mayan wisdom keepers such as Tata Walter Quiacain and is honoured to have received the blessings to work with Cacao in Ceremony from this community.
Audrey returned to Melbourne in 2018 in order to share Cacao in her home country and as of 2022 has relocated to Northern Rivers, NSW.
Her passion and connection to this plant is obvious in her offerings and the emergence of Love Bean Cacao has been a natural progression, allowing Audrey to share the gifts Cacao have to offer with a growing community of Cacao lovers here in Australia.
