About this Retreat
Grateful for allowing me to be here and now in these beautiful Mayan lands, where my grandparents have shared their knowledge with me... With love and respect, I share the medicine of the sacred Cacao and the Temazcal.
I am a guardian of cacao, a bearer of an ancestral heritage passed down to me by my Mayan grandmothers and grandfathers, the seventh generation on this path of medicine. From my maternal lineage, born in the state of Veracruz, I received the teachings and strength of this sacred seed, and for 14 years I have shared ceremonies, circles, and gatherings in the Riviera Maya that honor cacao as medicine for the heart, as a bridge of love and ancestral memory.

🍫 Heart of the Seed – A 4-Day Cacao Initiation with Amaya
In the lush, whispering jungle of Tulum, a sacred portal opens...
Join Amaya, a medicine woman and guardian of ancient Mayan wisdom from the village of Tres Reyes, for a rare and intimate immersion into the mystical world of cacao as plant teacher, healer, and guide.
For four enchanted days, we will walk the path from ancestral theory to embodied ritual—learning the sacred art of preparing and holding transformational cacao ceremonies as passed down through generations of Mayan lineage.
You’ll enter the cosmology of cacao: its spirit, its song, its elemental power.
You’ll grind, bless, and brew the sacred seed, and awaken to its ability to soften grief, open the heart, and reconnect us to joy, intuition, and inner clarity.
Each step of the journey—every aroma, chant, and stir of the pot—is a prayer. A remembrance.
Amaya will guide you through the mysteries of ceremony creation, intention-setting, and the subtle energetic alchemy of cacao’s sacred medicine.
This is a feminine rite of awakening, open to all genders—a call to those who feel the pulse of the Earth in their chest and the desire to walk the path of the heart.
Spaces are very limited.
The cacao spirit is calling her next circle of keepers.
