ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR
Fran Siebrits, Cacao Alchemist from South Africa, brings forth a wealth of knowledge for how we can use ceremony & ritual to live in harmony with our true nature.
She brings her life work into this training, providing a unique opportunity to immerse in the fields of animism, shamanism, mysticism, herbalism, feminine ritual, energy work & space holding for healing.
Fran can assist you to find your inner teacher & healer through the use of ceremony, ritual & shamanic tools.
Her facilitation is down-to earth & practical, encouraging you to experience an embodied heart awakening journey to support you in trusting yourself, feeling more confident in your self expression & able to speak your truth.

Frequently asked questions
This training is open to anyone who feels called to join.
Yes! You are welcome to join as a refresher, to deepen your connection, to be held, to learn from a different perspective (each training and each facilitator bring their own magic, and so we are always able to learn from one another).
We meet every 2 weeks on Zoom (recordings available, except for ceremonies). You will be enrolled into our Sacred Academy (our online school) for your self-paced modules and library material, including video tutorials, PDFs to download and keep, links to other relevant content, and of course your suggested home practices for each module. You will work through a module every 2 weeks. Suggested time to put aside for this is 2-4 hours per week for self-study material to complete before the next group meet. Additionally to this, you have a 1:1 private bonus call with your facilitator, Fran. To start and end the training, there is an online ceremony (and for Level 1&2 trainees there is a mid-way ceremony too).
The Zoom sessions last between 90 minutes and 2 hours.
During Level 1 we recommend at least 2-4 hours pers week, and for Level 2 we recommend at least 3-5 hours per week.
Yes, for Level 1 it is possible to make your payment in 3 x monthly installments (the first being your deposit, plus 2 others). For Level 1&2 it is possible to make your payment in 6 x monthly installments (the first being your deposit, plus 5 others).
Installment payment dates are monthly, unless otherwise communicated via email. An admin fee of ZAR200 will be charged for every week that a payment is overdue.
All online training material is valid for 6 months from the end of the training period. Additional access is available at an admin fee of ZAR200 per month thereafter.
For Level 1 there are 2 ceremonies, to start and end your training. For Level 1&2 there are 3 ceremonies, to start, mid-way, and close your training.
You don’t have to sign up for Level 2 immediately, you join Level 1 for now and decide in a month’s time if you want to continue with Level 2.
Our first session is for orientation and welcome, so you won’t need Cacao for this week. From our second week we will be working with Ceremonial-grade Cacao. We will provide you with all the information upon registration, and you will also receive 10% discount on our Ceremonial-grade Cacao throughout your training.
It is completely optional if you want to certify, which means holding a ceremony at the end of Level 2. Your certification can also be taken after the training, and also again as a refresher for feedback and growth. If you don’t want to hold a ceremony then you can still join the training as there are many benefits from a personal growth perspective and to assist in space holding beyond the ceremonial sphere.
