Mushrooms & Cacao, Sacred Earth Medicine, guiding you through the veil of illusion into the depths of your soul
This intimate experience is designed to support a deeper journey of healing and self-discovery—guiding you into your heart through the power of two ancestral medicines and helping reveal what may have remained hidden
Connect to yourself, your heart, and the Divine in a sacred ceremony and journey
.
A cosmic calling to remember who you are
There comes a moment when the whispers of your soul become too loud to ignore. When you feel the weight of all you’ve been carrying—old stories, limiting beliefs, the constant push and pull of life—and something within you knows:
It’s time.
Time to surrender. Time to soften. Time to let Spirit hold you.
This is a sacred passage, a return to your essence, where the Master Plant Spirits of Cacao and Mushrooms guide you into the deepest chambers of your heart.
A Journey Beyond the Mind
You’ve tried doing it all on your own. The books, the meditations, the journaling. And yet, a part of you is still waiting...for the breakthrough, for the release, for the undeniable knowing of what’s next.
This journey isn't about fixing you, because you were never broken.
It’s about opening. Expanding. Awakening a part of you that's been dormant for too long.
Imagine…
✨ A day cocooned in sacred ceremony, wrapped in a cozy blanket, where time slows and Spirit moves through you.
✨ The gentle embrace of Cacao, opening your heart, preparing you for the deep medicine to come.
✨ The ancient wisdom of Mushrooms, guiding you inward, revealing what is ready to be seen, healed, and reclaimed.
✨ The presence of a devoted facilitator who holds you in reverence, walking beside you every step of the way.
This is a fully supported experience: before, during, and after—so that the wisdom received doesn’t fade, but becomes woven into the fabric of your life.
This is about integration, embodiment, and remembering who you've here to be.

What people are saying about this transformational ancestral medicine journey with Judy:
"The plants helped me to see how I'm holding my love back from my son and husband and even myself. I haven’t cried in forever and yet I broke down and had the best cry of my life. I have since learned to make my time with them: sacred. The medicines showed me so much and helped me to surrender and feel".
- Liz
"I journeyed over a bridge to another world, one where I saw my deep-rooted fear of being embarrassed. As I cried so much and so unexpectedly, Judy began hugging me and although this isn't in my nature, I relaxed into it and received love like this, probably for the 1st time in my life. This was the most amazing experience, so powerfully healing for me."
- Chris
"I walked in terrified. I had just received a diagnosis and my whole body was shaking. During the ceremony something happened I still can't fully put into words. I felt held by something so much bigger than me. A presence so loving, so protective. And in that space I remembered that my faith is where my healing lives. I left knowing I was never alone in this."
- Julia
"A friend told me about cacao and I came mostly out of curiosity. Honestly I was skeptical. I had been feeling so disconnected at work, at home, from myself. I was craving meaning. What I didn't expect was the ocean of love that moved through that room. Love from strangers. Love I didn't know was possible between humans. I now have a completely new expectation of what life could feel like."
- Glenn
"I was coming out of the medicine when I heard another woman softly saying her father had never loved her. I walked over to tell her she was loved. As I was speaking I looked up and saw Judy with her eyes closed, holding her. Saying nothing. Fully present. In that moment I learned the biggest lesson of my life from watching Judy: how to hold space for someone to heal. How to say nothing and yet be fully present for the healing to unfold."
- Agatha
"The mushroom journey cracked something wide open in me. I experienced myself as the universe, as space, as all that is. I felt an unconditional love I had never touched before. From that place I could see the theater we're all playing in, unconsciously. And I understood in my bones that we are all safe. That we are all so deeply loved."
- Michael
Meet your devoted guide, Judy Machado
Judy is the founder of Goddess Temple Cacao and the creator of the Sacred Circle Facilitator Training, a devotional passage that includes guided CACAO PLANT-SPIRIT DIETA journeys to open a direct channel to the Cacao Spirit for guidance on your facilitation and personal path. She is one of the only practitioners in the world offering this.
She spent a year and a half consulting for a bean-to-bar chocolate company while falling heart-first into the spiritual story of cacao. She worked intimately with a Shipibo-Conibo trained shaman, journeying through dieta after dieta to receive the ancient teachings and wisdom of this sacred plant medicine.
For six months, Judy held daily ceremony with cacao while the spirit told her "not yet." She waited. She listened. She went deeper. Until one day, the spirit said "now go share my medicine."
That moment of initiation became the foundation of everything she offers. Judy guides healers, facilitators, and practitioners into their own direct, devotional relationship with the Cacao Spirit.
Her students don't leave with a certificate on their wall. They leave with an initiation in their heart, knowing in their bones that they aren't disrespecting any lineage but sharing this medicine from the spirit's own directive.
A living connection that transforms both their practice and the people they serve.
Her vision is radical: millions of people experiencing the transformational Cacao Dieta journey. Not someday, but in this lifetime. Because when enough hearts open a direct line to spirit, the collective consciousness shifts. And that's the movement she's here to lead.

"A soft ache began in my ovaries during the ceremony and I got scared. Judy came over and gently told me my body might be releasing old beliefs stored there. The moment she said it I felt the truth of it in my heart. The tears came pouring out. It was the deepest release I have ever known. I walked out of that room lighter than I had been in years, so alive in my own body"
