Heeding the call of the Cacao Spirit, Keith dedicated his life to reintroducing the sacred plant medicine of Ceremonial Cacao to a world that had forgotten its magic. From his humble and legendary "porch" in San Marcos La Laguna, Keith's gatherings became the first modern-day Cacao Ceremonies—igniting a global movement inspiring deeper connection, healing, and heart-centered living.
For over two decades, Keith served as a processing intuitive, and teacher, helping thousands of souls "get out of their own way" with the gentle wisdom of Cacao and his intuitive presence. His light lives on through every Cacao Practitioner, every shared ceremony, and every heart opened by the Spirit of Cacao.
At the heart of Keith’s philosophy lies the essence of self-liberation through heart-centered transformation. He believed that every individual possesses an innate reservoir of wisdom, healing, and creativity. The path forward, according to Keith, is not about mastering new techniques or seeking external validation—it’s about "getting out of your own way" to access the limitless potential already within.
