Certified Cacao Training Interview with Juliette Bryant

Well, really, um, for a while now, what's been happening is I've been having this deep call to teach earth wisdom, and I have been teaching earth wisdom.

And this year I formed the School of Earth Wisdom, which was a really big step for me to honor the journey that I've gone on, and to honor the path that I feel I'm really embodying in my life.

And as part of the School of Earth Wisdom, I've been running a year-long practitioners course.

I spent a lot of time getting the courses written and also certified, um, and accredited, and that is quite a big process, and a wonderful process because it gives such validation to the work I'm doing, having a professional body saying, "Yes, this is great, and you can certify people." So the first, um, thing that I certified and accredited was training earth wisdom practitioners.

Now this is so exciting for me because on the first session with the earth wisdom practitioners, I said to them, "You can take this anywhere you want." Most things we learn, you are learning how to be a prescribed thing.

You're almost, like, copying someone else's way of being.

But with the earth wisdom mentorship, the earth wisdom practitioners, they can take this knowledge and shape it into whatever their calling is.

So they are learning how to do earth wisdom healing, channeling the healing energy of the plants, the trees, the mushrooms to people.

They're learning how to hold ceremony.

They're learning how to, um, take people on forest walks and connect them into their environment.

They're learning how to hold tea ceremonies.

So there's so many different facets, and seeing that unfolding for each person as they deepen their understanding of what earth wisdom is is so beautiful.

So that's one aspect of it.
