October 12th - January 23rd, 2024-2025
By the end of this 15 week apprenticeship you will be able to confidently facilitate your own Mayan Cacao Ceremonies and weave this way of facilitation to any healer modality you are working with or will be working in a future.
A Ceremony is not a performance. You weave your energy into it and pray. You become a ceremony, you connect with the three worlds, you start seeing through the darkness, through the invisible side.
REMEMBER
the Path of Your Soul
through Ancient Maya Medicine
Hello family and welcome to the Sacred Medicine of Mayan Cacao Ceremonialist Apprenticeship.
I feel privileged to be your guide and mentor on this journey.
Working with the medicine of Cacao in a ceremony, we take on a deep shamanic journey. I have developed this training as a very unique modality that has evolved and manifested into the physical world. I bring my personal experience working in Ceremonies and having been apprenticed into working with ancestral Mayan medicines in the Lake Atitlan of Guatemala.
I have held cacao ceremonies for several years, but an incredible shift happened when I studied in the sacred mayan lands in Guatemala.
There I learned to live in a Mayan way and host true traditional Myan Cacao Ceremonies. I followed the clear guidance that I received in the ceremonies with my teacher ‘Tata Walter’.
The guidance was to create Cacao a ceremonialist training programme, to help more souls spread the message of Cacao love. Many people from all over the world are in need of this medicine and that's why I created an online training programme, to reach all of the beautiful souls who feel the calling to study the ancient Mayan way and become a Sacred Medicine of Cacao Ceremony facilitator.
To become a ceremonialist takes consistent practice and a deep connection, which can take a long period of time. Through my deep connections with Tata Walter and during one of our meetings in Ibiza, I received the message that I had to share my learnings with the world, and so was born the Sacred Medicine MATYOX-MAYAN CACAO CEREMONIALIST APPRENTICESHIP.
With permission from my Teacher Walter to share elements of the lineage I have been initiated into Lake Atitlan, and blessed to carry I am so deeply honoured to share and support others on their Sacred journey to become unique facilitators and Mayan Cacao Ceremonialists.
You will learn how to create and hold the most expansive and transformative ceremonies and support yourself and others on the healing journey.
You are a Lightworker! Through this training you will learn how to shine your light brighter in a service to your purpose, Pachamama and you will raise the vibration of the planet earth, helping others to awaken. The ancient Plant Medicine of Cacao was used by various cultures through time as a way to connect to spirit and open our hearts so that we can be guided from within.
Through the union of the Cacao spirit and you becoming a Ceremony facilitator, you will bridge the worlds of the underworld, the world, and the overworld. Rooted in Mayan ancient tradition the medicine will enable your unique ceremonies to shine.
This is your new adventure to REMEMBER the path of your soul. It will be a deep and healing journey. Going deep is the only way to unleash your true magic so that you can share it with the world, with confidence in your authentic ceremony.
This is an intimate apprenticeship for those who are ready to go deep and feel called to become a ceremonialist.
Are you ready for the new life of ceremony?
Love Vika xx

Apprenticeship Level One - Initiation
The Art of Weaving Shamanic Space
Meet the medicine
This apprenticeship is a deep dive into yourself through Ancient Mayan lineage and Mayan Cosmovision. This is the essence of a cacao ceremonialist.
We learn Sacred tools and rituals, and receive profound wisdom to help us see beyond the veil, so we are able to truly listen, connect, heal and be guided as to how we can be in best service to our communities.
When we learn the power of Ceremony, we remember that we are masters of living energy.
By the end of this apprenticeship you will be able to confidently facilitate your own Mayan Cacao Ceremonies and weave this way of facilitation to any healer modality you are working with or will be working in a future.
This programme is foundational to this particular lineage - but it is not basic. The work you will be doing is very deep and will require you to put your energy and commitment into it. It is for students of every level - especially for those who have been facilitating for years and are ready to take their containers to another level filled with ancient Mayan wisdom. It’s perfect for those stepping on Medicine women or Medicine man Path.
I spent last summer learning and embodying ancient Mayan medicine of ceremony and cosmovision. I was planning to go to Lake Atitlan at the beginning of 2023 and reconnect with my Mayan family there, when the super strong vision and desire came to me to bring ancient mayan medicine to you my loves.
This also gave me the opportunity to support my family and their communities during this time. It’s so wonderful to give back for all I have received and am now sharing it with you.
Tata Walter was initiated by his ancestors to work with the sacred fire, the 4 elements, and the ancient medicine of cacao. Living his life connected to Mayan Sacred Calendar Cholq'Ij and the 20 sacred energies, Nawales - Walter has developed incredible connection to the three words and became a highly respected Mayan Spiritual leader not only in the Sacred lands of Lake Atitlan but also in Europe.
For thousands of years during Spanish inavasion the Mayan People were not allowed to share the power of the cosmovision and drink Cacao. The traditions and connection to the medicine were kept, but unfortunately some were lost. Walter strongly believes that now it's the time to share the Sacred teachings with the world from a widely open heart and help to raise the consciousness of Planet Earth.
Tata Walter is an incredible being and teacher. You will have the honour of being in his presence during this potent and powerful apprenticeship. My teacher has offered to share his wisdom because he believes in what I am sharing with you, and trusts that his lineage is being represented in a true and correct way.
He is happy to see how I am weaving the Mayan Kaquchikel traditions with the safe and sacred Medicine of Cacao, to create deeper connection, reverence and respect for Ceremony and Pachamama.
The training is over a 3,5 month journey with live calls and live Ceremonies each week. The first (additional) call will be on
October 12, 2024. Recordings of each call will be accessible if you cannot make the live call.
Aside from the live calls, course modules will be unlocked weekly with potent online teachings, powerful guided processes, written course material in your beautiful Shamanic Wisdom Manual, and much more.

Forever grateful for you walking along side me as I journey back to remembrance.
Thank you for the energy you put into Mayan Cacao apprenticeship and the container you crafted for us to journey back to the heart.
It has gifted me the ability to see love in all things. The messy and the chaos. In the dark and in the light as the veils and layers of protection built around the heart begin to disappear.
Also the connection to mama cacao, which has only deepened even further since the apprenticeship.
Excited for all the beautiful souls who will be joining the next apprenticeship for the journey they all about to embark on.
Thank you
I love you''

Still Have Questions?
F.A.Q below
I began my journey with the Medicine of Cacao a few years ago and began serving the medicine in the ceremonies. I have trained with the best Mayan wisdom keeper of Mayan Kaqchikel lineage and was initiated at the Sacred lake Atitlan. After my initiation I began sharing Mayan Ceremony, teaching people from all over the world the ancient Mayan medicine of cacao, cosmovision and ceremony.
I help people from all paths of life to liberate themselves from limiting beliefs keeping them away from joyful life, connected, free, abundant and limitless beings that they came here to be.
My deep connection, love and dedication for Mayan culture and people, shamanic practice led me to weaving the Medicine of Cacao into ‘Matyox-Mayan Cacao Ceremonialist’ Apprenticeship. I am offering training in this modality to spiritual leaders like you, globally with my ‘Matyox-Mayan Cacao Ceremonialist Apprenticeship’’.
My mission is to help those who are ready to step into their Sacred Path of service, weaving medicine of ancient Cacao into the path they walk as Lightworkers and helping to transform many lives along the way.
I feel honored for this opportunity to bring people from all over the world together in Ceremony and make it accessible for all and empower others to share this with their communities also.
I have never shared anything that I haven’t embodied. Ceremony is not a performance, you weave your energy into it and pray. You become a ceremony, you connect with the three worlds, you start seeing through the darkness, through the invisible side.
You start to see the signs, read the signals on how to guide others. You know how to control your mind and let your wisdom open the gates to your heart so you can become the channel of Medicine. This is the power of all Shamanic practices.
You do the work, so you can feel the difference in strong Ceremonies which you can channel and when it feels like it’s not yours, it's not authentic to your soul. You can feel the truth, you don’t need to hear it.
I will share the tools and framework for you to find You! To find your Ceremony which lives inside your heart! The tools to confidently facilitate the ceremony on your own in your unique way!
Working with ancient Medicine completely transformed my life, my teachings and showed me the path I need to walk.
'Matyox-Mayan Cacao Ceremonialist Apprenticeship' is for everyone!

Additional Welcome call date October 12 day of 1 AJ(Home, armadillo)
Call - 1 Opening ceremony will be on October 19th the day of 8 Ajpu (Divinity, the sun, human)
All other call dates and times will be available closer to the start date. This apprenticeship is unique in that I share with you ways of working within ancient Mayan shamanic lineage, from my personal experience as a Medicine woman, lightworker.
Calls will be between 1.5h and 2.5 h. Occasionally a call might go for 3h as we will be journeying deeply in Ceremony, connecting with other dimensions where time disappears.
I do my best to keep it succinct but there is a lot of content for us to get through and important embodiment practices as well.
When we are in a ceremony and journeying with the medicine we usually do not notice the time.
You also will have immediate access to the replays so you can watch or listen too in your own time.
There are video teachings of guided practices for your morning meditations and breath work for you to access.
Most of your practice is contemplation. It will naturally begin to weave its way through your life without too much 'thinking.'
All of the live calls are recorded and put into your personal library so you can access the replays straight away if for any reason you can’t make a live.
Part of the reason we do this over 3 months is because the content is so abundant and rich (it could actually be 10 months quite easily!) and also so that you have the chance to embody it and walk it as a part of your daily life.
This is what really helps you become an authentic , humble, graceful and powerful ceremony facilitator.
This apprenticeship gives you a very precious seed that you will continue to nurture and grow really for the rest of your life.
It will be amazing to see what you will receive from this training. Making it their own and weaving it into not only your offerings and work but into your life as a spiritual practice in a way that really serves your personal journey tremendously.
Our weekly Zoom call will be between 2-3 hours and they are mostly process driven.
We will let you know approximately how long the upcoming call will be and will do our best to keep it within time. Please keep in mind though that this is Ceremony. So it’s possible they will run over. If so and you have to leave the call it’s not a problem.
However - We do ask if you are joining the call that week that you are on from the beginning so as not to disrupt other students or the flow of energy.
There are also online teachings to watch and contemplate that will vary in time each week between 20 minutes to 1 hour each.
There are also some home processes and daily practices.
As with anything you will get out of it what you put in but you can certainly tailor it to your schedule.
So I would say around 6-8 hours a week maximum (including your morning practices) depending on how deep you want to go!!!!
Aside from the call, you will do everything at your own pace. All of the live sessions will be recorded and available the next day (latest) for you to keep and repeat as often as you like, so there is no problem if you miss a session.
It’s strongly advised to keep up with the group even if you can’t make lives as the collective energy will help to make your process much smoother and your learning much easier.
