So grateful for this course! Loved the different examples to connect with each element, each one so intimate and profound. My heart and soul felt the warmth and embrace of Mama Cacao. I thanks the Spirit for leading me to your Cacao ceremonies on Sundays and learning about this beautiful medicine. Thank you for sharing this wisdom in such a poetic way and creating this course for us. As I continue healing, I will return to this sacred space that you have channeled for us. Thank you so much Carly. Namaste 🙏🏽

Brilliant, Brilliant course!!!!!!!! My eyes, my mind, my soul have been opened to the elements and what they can provide and how they can guide me on my self-healing journey. Much to ponder and think about. I will be doing this course again sometime after three months and see the difference in me by practising the rituals and guidance that connect me to all elements.
