Your Facilitators

Ix Cacao is known as the "food of the gods" and has been used by Mayan, Aztec and Inca tribes for thousands of years for ceremonial purposes. As a potent healer, this medicine helps us to open our hearts, connect with our inner wisdom and creativity so that we can dissolve our blockages and create new pathways into being. Ix Cacao brings us grounding into our bodies and can help us open up to feeling and sensing more deeply. Mama Cacao is a very feminine and creative medicine so she will help us to explore in a soft yet powerful way.

IxCacao is a medicine that is experiencing a surge in popularity and for good reason, as in this modern world she can help us to become more grounded, centred, living more fully from our hearts and being. However, she is also a powerful healer and teacher for working through our shadow and trauma, as she works deep in the belly and psyche. Therefore, it is very important to honour her and develop right relationship prior to holding space for groups.

Firetree is a highly intuitive and dedicated medicine woman who works predominantly with plants and energy healing to promote wholeness on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. Fully qualified as a Shamanic Practitioner, Bodyworker and Forrest Yoga Teacher as well as receiving many initiations through plant medicine ceremonies, dietas and Shamanic work. Firetree has a very special connection with Mama Cacao that she is passionate about sharing, and continues to be humbled by this gentle yet powerful plant teacher.

She has met with Elders in Peru, Brazil, Guatemala and Mexico, blending her training through Central & South American Medicine with continued exploration of her deep roots in Celtic Traditions. This particular path connects spirits, ancestors, plant medicines and lands together in order to facilitate an accelerated approach to healing and ceremonial work. In this time of rapid change and the impact on the earth as well as its inhabitants, a new approach is needed that is infused with the great wisdom of these ancient traditions.

Finn is a born healer, space holder, bringer of unconditional love, joy and oxytocin. He is nothing short of magic and every person that meets him gets to know his calming nature and teethy grin.
