“The ceremony facilitated by Amaru was a truly profound experience. I've been walking this path for many years and I'm all about respect for these sacred ways. Amaru has a traditional approach in how she carries the ceremony which is rooted in wisdom and reverence. She is a true Medicine Woman. She was present at all times holding space for us and making sure that those who were less experienced were taken care of and supported. Her chants and harp music are amazing, which brought deep connection & understanding. Thank you, Amaru. Looking forward to seeing you again in my journey.”

“I had the most peaceful and heart-opening experience at our Cacao Ceremony at Aura, led by Amaru. Her deep knowledge and reverence for the medicine and spirit of cacao, along with the other medicines she shared, like Hapéh, created such a sacred and intentional space. Aura felt truly blessed and activated as Amaru guided us in anchoring our prayers. It was one of the most beautiful and transformative ceremonies I've ever attended.”

— Natalya S, Co-Founder of Aura North Beach Village in Ft. Lauderdale, FL

“Amaru’s facilitation was deeply transformative. She approached the ceremony with so much integrity, kindness, wisdom and her whole heart. In her container, I was able to dive deeply into a difficult inner conflict that I’ve been ignoring for years. Her wisdom exceeds my ability to express it. Without the safety of her space and presence, I would not have been able to do that at this time. Thank you, Amaru.”

“Thank you for having me at your cacao ceremony last night. I have been to several ceremonies before and attending yours was a deeply nourishing experience that inspired profound gratitude. The cacao that you prepared was delicious! I am thankful for your love, compassion and patience, which gave me the opportunity to rewire my fears around working with plant medicine. You took the time to share step by step how to work with the medicines. This made my experience pleasant and helped me release stored emotions. Thank you. I can’t wait to learn more about these special traditions.”

“Amaru created a safe container for us to connect with the spirit of Cacao and go on an inner journey to remember how to express ourselves from a heart-centered place. The Medicine Songs that Amaru invoked carried me throughout the entire journey and I could feel the depth of the work she’s done to study and learn from her teachers in South America. I appreciated that we had the opportunity to connect deeply with the other participants in the circle - it feels so important at this time to have safe spaces for authentic relating. I’m so grateful for this work and would recommend a Cacao Ceremony with Amaru for anyone who feels the call to experience this medicine."
