Patricia Grimaldi
Ever since I came in contact with Ayurveda over 10 years ago I have been on a deep dive into a yogic life, the search for truth and the path of healing.
After completing a Hatha Yoga Training in India, I founded Sapana Yoga in 2015. My search led me to take many different trainings like Ayurveda, Yin Yoga, Qi Gong, Akashic Records, Bhakti Yoga, Transformational Facilitation, Vegan Nutrition, Coaching & more.
Along the way more than 5 years ago I found Cacao or let's say she found me. I attended many ceremonies in Spain, Bali, Thailand, Costa Rica & Guatemala and eventually started to offer ceremonies myself over 2 years ago.
I have always been called to keep on transforming. To find my inner truth, to find clarity on where I want to be in life & to follow my heart and intuition.
Now I am called to share my experience, knowledge, wisdom, magic and my strong love for Cacao with you.
Ixcacao, the goddess of the Cacao has called me to share her powerful medicine & I am excited to guide you on this journey. For a glimpse of my ceremonies find a few testimonials below.
TESTIMONIALS
"Patricia has sooooo much wisdom and knowledge to share about so many tools and techniques and her loving and compassionate essence is supporting like a warm embrace. Patrica shares from her heart what helped her on her path and this is so clear and pure and all the time deeply profound like her cacao facilitator training. She puts in her whole being in her offerings and fill them with love and life."
"I can recommend Patricia's cacao ceremony from the bottom of my heart. I have been to 2 ceremonies by now. Both different from each other but what is the same is Patricia's ability to create a safe space for all participants. Her deep and genuine passion for what she is doing shines through. Her knowledge and wisdom is honest and true. I always feel safe and held and my experience has been profound each time. I am convinced this is thanks to Patricia's way of guiding us through the experience"
"Patricia with her gentle guidance and presence, allows us to dive deeply into the heart of the cacao medicine. I particularly enjoyed the quality of the cacao she is offering, and the meditative practice she introduced within the ceremony, it added depth to the moment. Thanks Patricia for offering your gift of honest presence to the world, I am looking forward to be sitting in circle with you again."
