Why Modern Teachings Have Failed Us And What To Do Instead

In a world where spirituality and wellness are a new trend, many still struggle to live in harmony.

Modern teachings usually give us a single piece of the puzzle instead of the whole “package”. Plus often they lack the substance and connection with Mother Earth that true wisdom requires.

The Maya Had It Figured Out

The Mayans mastered the art of living in harmony, using millenary tools and practices like the Cholq’ij Calendar or the Four Bodies. The challenge to learn from them is that they're hard to access…

To learn from Mayan teachers and spiritual leaders, you would typically need to travel to Guatemala and find them in the less-travelled areas deep into the country. And if you’re lucky and finally find them, then you need to gain their trust, as for them this wisdom is something sacred.

The Work of Decades, Shared with You

At The Mayan Wisdom Project, our mission has always been to share authentic Mayan culture and wisdom in safe and respectful way.

We spent years creating programs in collaboration with incredible teachers from different Maya Nations across Guatemala. This entire endeavour would not have been possible without the work of Tata Carlos Barrios, one of the most respected Maya Elders in the country and co-founder of the MWP.

This 10-week Cacao Training Program will be guided by Maya spiritual leaders, cacao farmers & professionals of ancient Maya agriculture, cacao producers, and experts in the history of cacao and its properties. All of the teachers are from the Q'eqchi' and Kaqchikel Maya Nations in Guatemala and have devoted several decades to the deep study of cacao and its history.

So you will be learning directly from cacao's original wisdom keepers who carry the wisdom of decades and have inherited this information from long lines of families who also devoted their life to cacao. So that finally, you can learn all about cacao in a respectful and authentic way, with the consent of Maya people.

Explore The Cacao Training's Curriculum

The Cacao Training Program is guided by Maya teachers from the Q'eqchi' and Kaqchikel Nations. Each class is 2 hours divided into the class + Q&A. The groups are super limited so that you get special attention directly from the teachers and can ask them questions!

Week 1: Introduction + Fire Ceremony

Introduction to the Cacao Training Program + we will hold a permission fire ceremony to connect to the Mayan Elders and open our mind, body, heart, and spirit in the beginning of this journey.

Week 2: The History of Cacao

Cacao comes from a fruitful and profound millenary tradition. It is an honor to have top experts share with us the role of cacao in the history of the Mayan civilization.

Week 3: Traditional Farming

It's important to understand the origin of cacao. As the industry grows, we drift away from ceremonial ways. A cacao farmer will explain the traditional ways of planting and caring for the plant.

Week 4: Cacao Production

Making ceremonial cacao is a science. We will learn the process from fermenting, sun-drying, roasting, peeling, all the way to your cup. You will learn exactly how the cacao we send you was produced.

Week 5 & 6: Benefits of Cacao

Cacao has incredible benefits that can have a very positive effect on our physical health. But this magical medicine goes beyond physical healing, and we will learn all about its properties.

Week 7: Materials & Music

Materials and instruments are an integral part of the ceremonial practice. We will learn which traditional elements we can use during ceremonial practices with cacao to create a deep connection.

Week 8: Invocation

During spiritual practices with cacao we invoke the spirit of the plant, as well as the energies of the ancient Mayan Elders. We will learn how to make a proper invocation to have authentic ceremonies with cacao.

Week 9: Preparing the Drink

We will follow a step-by-step process and learn how to properly prepare cacao in the traditional Mayan way. We will learn how to make the cacao that we will drink on the last week of the program.

Week 10: Ceremony with Cacao

We will close these beautiful 10 weeks with a sacred Mayan ceremony with cacao, in which we will be able to put everything we have learned in this cacao training program in practice.

This program is great for people who love cacao and would like to deepen their connection with it, either for themselves or to share with those cose to them + it is great for people who work with, facilitate, and share cacao with larger groups. This way you will learn how to do it responsibly and receive a certificate that shows you were trained and have permission from Maya leaders.

This is your safe place to learn mayan wisdom + support the Maya people

We don't do your average run of the mill programs where spirituality had become a trend and you are taught by self-proclaimed teachers or people who don't really know what they are teaching. We work with real leaders of the Maya nations who each have decades of experience and come from long lineages of families who do this work. 

We do things differently here:

This is a practical and well rounded experience where you'll balance all your learn profound teachings, tools, and wisdom that will give you a true basis for your realitionship and work with ceremonial cacao!

How this program supports your indigenous teachers:

Additionally, this program is really exclusive as the group will be very small. But the amount of time, preparation, and effort the teachers will put will be extensive and profound. For that reason your money goes to supporting them personally and to helping them grow their small family owned businesses where they work with cacao and other ancient artisanal products. Your support makes a huge difference for them!
