For the healer, facilitator and practitioner who is already facilitating in another modality and wants to add Cacao with integrity
The Cacao Spirit Dieta-Initiation
for facilitators
90 days of cultivating a living relationship with the Cacao Spirit through DIETA, building bone-deep certainty that you're not disrespecting any lineage, instead you're being taught directly by the Cacao Spirit & ready to pour from that knowing
This isn't another certification. You don't need one.
You've been holding space for your community for years.
What you don't have yet is a living, devoted relationship with the Cacao Spirit herself through DIETA. The kind where she speaks to you. Where she guides you. Where you know in your bones that the medicine you're pouring is hers, given to you, for this moment, for this person, in this way.
That's what this is.
Called but frozen
You feel called to share cacao.
Called to serve. Called to deepen. Called to lead the next circle, the next retreat, the next ceremony, with her in your hands.
But you are stuck. In doubt. In unworthiness. In the fear of doing it wrong.
Wrong how? You know exactly how.
You're terrified of disrespecting a culture that isn't yours. Of appropriating a lineage you love. Of being another white woman, or another wellness practitioner, or another spiritual entrepreneur who took something sacred and made it small.
So you keep reading the articles. You keep lurking on the trainings. You keep drinking her privately in your own kitchen, wondering if you're allowed.
You watch other people pour her confidently and something twists in your chest. Half longing. Half something that whispers, but are they really connected to her, or did they just buy a certification.
And under all of it, the quiet ache. You know you're meant to carry this. You just don't know how to do it right.
No course, no certificate, no weekend workshop will ever give you permission to pour her medicine.
Because permission doesn't come from a certificate or piece of paper.
It comes from her, from your direct relationship with the Spirit of Cacao.
"Just before working with Judy, I completed an 8 week Cacao Ceremony training
with another Trainer
And the depth and dent that I made in Judy's training was incomparable! I had no idea this depth of relationship with the Spirit of Cacao was possible, with her speaking to and guiding me". Antoinette
THE TRUTH SHIFT
There is only one thing that will quiet that fear forever.
A direct, initiated relationship with the Cacao Spirit herself.
Where she becomes your teacher. Where she shows you, in your own body, what she is. Where she guides you, morning by morning, through the ancient practice of the Dieta, until you know her the way you know the sound of your own voice.
When that happens, the appropriation fear dissolves.
You're no longer sharing someone else's medicine. You are sharing hers, from her directive, in the way she asked you to carry her.
That's what initiation is.
And that's what you'll receive here.
Meet your devoted guide:
I'm Judy Machado.
Founder of Goddess Temple Cacao. Initiated into this path alongside a Shipibo-Conibo trained shaman. Holder of the Cacao Dieta lineage in the form I now carry.
Before I ever poured her for anyone else, I drank her daily for a year. I walked my first Dieta. Then my second. Then my third. Six months of daily ceremony with her alone before she finally said, now, go share me.
I didn't take a weekend certification. I didn't buy a credential. She gave me permission. And that is the exact doorway I now walk my initiates through.
My vision is a world where millions of people experience the transformational Cacao Dieta. Where this medicine returns, carried by devoted practitioners, to shift the consciousness of the whole collective.
You might be one of them. Here is my full story
Other practitioners
the Cacao Spirit has called
"Cacao began calling to me and I was searching for a trainer who was authentic, since today there are so many people training about Cacao from a shallow place The moment I heard Judy speak about Cacao, the Dieta, the connection I can deepen into, the relationship, all of it..... I knew she was the one."
- Renata, Women's Circle Facilitator
"Before I started my training, I was at rock bottom—exhausted, depressed, and not sure of my purpose. The training gave me hope, a sense of belonging. The thought of offering this for others excited and terrified me. I've never considered myself a leader.
When I finally hosted my own circle, I was shaking and nervous at the start. But once I opened the group sharing, people sank into the moment and I felt a sense of purpose.
Holding space has continued to push me to heal parts of me I hadn’t even realized were wounded. Each circle is a mirror showing me both the incredible resilience of human hearts and the delicate responsibility of guiding others.
I’ve never felt more alive or aligned with who I’m meant to be"
- Sue
"When I first attended a transformational circle with Judy, I felt as though something lit up inside me. The raw vulnerability in that space awakened a part of me I’d long forgotten. By the end of the ceremony, I knew I had crossed a threshold: one that wouldn’t allow me to go back to my old ways of thinking.
I completed the facilitator training and immediately later, hosted a small circle in my living room. My anxiety was high because I was wondering how I would be able to hold space the way it was held for me. But as soon as we began, I knew I was being divinely guided. When I saw tears of release on the faces of those who came, I realized that we all have the power to cultivate healing spaces.
Today, I hold monthly circles. To see first hand others’ breakthroughs is humbling and inspires me to keep growing, both personally and as a facilitator"
- Joanne
"Judy provides a roadmap and an anchor into the field of 5D consciousness. Her embodied presence, the sacred space (inside and out) she's cultivated and invites others into, and her loving guidance - have all helped me to return, again and again, to my own higher consciousness, loving presence, and inner wisdom.
She’s a role model of how our choices, habits, thoughts, rituals, and actions create our experience in the way she lives and breathes this path. She offers inspiration, knowledge and practical tools for creating an inner world of peace, positivity, and unconditional acceptance that begins to manifest in a new external reality."
- Marci
"I wanted to work deeply with Cacao and was looking for someone who was truly devoted to the Spirit of Cacao, not just teaching about it, but living in communion with Her.
As soon as I watched a video with Judy, I knew she was the one. Judy’s devotion shines through everything she shares. Having trained with two Shamans, she carries ancient wisdom with humility and grace. Her ongoing path with Cacao through the sacred Dieta journey inspires me endlessly.
Through her guidance, I learned that the Cacao Dieta isn't just a practice: it's a living relationship with the Spirit, a way of listening, surrendering, and receiving direct guidance from Mama Cacao Herself.
This journey changed everything for me. I no longer just facilitate circles. I walk with Cacao as my teacher, my ally, and my sacred mirror."
- Amanda
"I was so nervous about this training at first, thinking that I had no place leading people into their heart and into a place of personal transformation.
During this training, I felt so held and guided, not only are there videos and scripts and transcriptions, the live trainings and ongoing classes are everything that I could possibly ask for. I have attended some of the monthly online practice ceremonies which was essential in me beginning to host my own circles.
I now host 3 circles a month and keep coming to this training for more insights and ideas with every new live class."
- Jessica
"I finally feel like I’m honoring my calling to create spaces for women to thrive.
Judy has overcome her personal limitations to be very aware, neutral, and joyful even in the most challenging of circumstances.
She exhibits that in her essence and being when she communicates with you, even in her presence without words. She's an inspirational business and spiritual woman and demonstrates that you can live your dreams in all areas of your life."
- Cheryl
"I have been facilitating another plant medicine for others for 12 years now, and had not been in Dieta with that plant, until Judy guided me through one. I wish for all Plant Medicine facilitators to realize the level of relationship & guidance possible when we are students, in Deita's with our plant spirit teacher "
- Maria, Plant Medicine Facilitator

MY GUARANTEE to you 🕊️
My promise to you
Within 3 months, you'll have a direct, devoted relationship with the Cacao Spirit and the clarity to pour her medicine in your own ceremonies, in a way that feels ancient, sacred, and unmistakably yours.
If you walk the first full Dieta with me, and you complete the first month of mentorship, and you haven't yet felt a direct, living relationship with the Cacao Spirit, I'll continue to work with you privately, on my own time, until you do.
I've never had an initiate leave this container without her.
I don't intend to start now. 🦋
