CACAO IMMERSION
Medicine of the Heart

September 20 - 22, 2025
Spring Equinox
Venus Bay, Victoria

With the beautiful Raven’t Nest at Venus Bay as our home for 2 nights we immerse ourselves in all things cacao and nature.

Cacao assisting in reminding us to tune in to the natural cycles - acknowledging this time of equilibrium and attuning to the external elements as well as to our hearts, our bodies, our spirit and our mind.

This immersion is the opportunity to dive deeper with the Medicine of Cacao as well as honour its Mayan roots. A space of learning, of being, feeling and of opening.

2 days to immerse, to drop into the heart, in ceremony, in ritual and in connection.

Joining us virtually from Guatemala to share a Mayan Fire Ceremony will be two of Audrey’s friends and teachers Tata Walter Quiacain and Nana Miriam Navichoc. Wisdom keepers of Kaqchikel and Tz’utujil lineage.

We will also work directly with the cacao beans, roasting and peeling as we learn about the plant.

Further details of the schedule below, and (other) special guest to be announced.

Whilst this retreat is not a “facilitator training” it will provide a solid foundation of the cacao plant and invite another step (or 3) in your journey with cacao.

“Audrey has provided an incredibly nurturing open space to discuss, learn and delve into your heart space through nature’s medicine of cacao. With a small group and the constant discussion of love, a connected community has been built by the end of the course. I learnt everything I wanted to and more and definitely feel an even greater appreciation and connection to cacao, the earth, myself and the Mayan wisdom. Can’t recommend highly enough if you’re on a journey to heal, connect
with your heart and bring more love and light into your life.”
