Cacao is the product of Cacao beans – grown on the tree known as “Theobroma Cacao”. The Cacao tree grows at its best in a tropical rainforest climate.
Each tree produces only a small amount of cacao beans which means you need a lot of trees to create a viable industry. There are many areas of the world now growing Cacao for the commercial markets, it is important to know how to find the best Cacao for your needs.

cacao ceremony training courses
Is Professional Certification Esssential?
Having a Certification as a Cacao Ceremony Facilitator isn’t essential, any more than you need a certification to hold a tea ceremony, which you absolutely don’t. However if you wish to work professionally with Cacao and charge a fee for events in our modern world – it’s a very good idea to hold professional insurance. This means you will either need professional certification for the services you are providing, or collaborate with someone else who does.
As a Complementary Therapist, an ex-College Lecturer and qualified Workplace Trainer, I was inspired to create Cacao Temple Academy training course when I was first introduced to the wonders of cacao all the way back in 2007. But the world was a very different place back then. A regular supply of quality ceremonial cacao was difficult to find, and folks weren’t yet ready to embrace ceremonial cacao as part of their daily life. It’s wonderful to see how times have changed.
With our unique and comprehensive course you will learn so much, including the art of working with subtle energies, with respect and reverence for the sacred plant medicine. You will also discover the immense nutritional benefits of this wonderful medicine food and how to easily it can be to make ceremonial cacao part of your everyday life and so much more. On completion of our Professionally Certified Cacao Ceremony Leader course you will be well on the way to becoming an expert in the art of facilitation as a Certified & Accredited Cacao Ceremony Leader.

the truth about cacao
What’s the Story About Cacao Temple?
Cacao Temple was first established in 2007 in Australia, by Australian Natural Therapist Sharon Quigley at her home in the Perth Hills of Western Australia who now lives in Ireland. In 2007 Sharon had first learned about the wonders of this sacred Cacao medicine from a neighbour who had just returned from living for a few months in a tropical rainforest area of South America with the local people who were growing Cacao using the traditional methods used for centuries by their ancestors.
During his time living with the local native people he had learned so much about the significance of sacred Cacao medicine and the important role Cacao played in their every day lives. Including how to make fresh dark chocolate for eating – along with a super healthy chocolate drink with raw Cacao in their traditional ways. He was eager to share his new-found knowledge of sacred Cacao medicine with Sharon in the same traditional way he had learned himself, by showing the process, making it, and experiencing its magic. Guided by the Cacao Spirit, from the pure love of his heart.
Once the Spirit of the Cacao becomes your friend and you connect with this sacred plant medicine authentically, so profound is the effect of pure love which Cacao has on you that you will literally want to share this knowledge with the world. Because this is more than connecting with the Cacao Spirit, this connecting with our Sacred Earth and what our Creator has provided for us to live a long, happy and healthy life.
It is through this authentic love and connection with the Spirit of the Cacao which Sharon is now guided to share this sacred knowledge with you through her teachings of Cacao Temple.
