The ICU Programme is a very exciting development technique for children all around the world. Children are taught how to ‘see’ without their physical eyes, to ‘see’ with their Higher Consciousness. ICU is an amazing way to work with children to expand their minds, awareness and learning capabilities. Children learn to activate and utilize their brain in new ways that allow them to access innate knowledge and abilities that may have otherwise gone undiscovered or undeveloped.
The ICU Program consists of 10 - 12 Sessions that are offered to an individual child. Currently the Program is not offered to groups of children, nor is it delivered by video chat or voice calls. A child needs to physically attend the sessions.
ICU Sessions combine energy techniques and guided meditations inteneded to teach children to read blindfolded. Once the child learns to see in this unlimited way, it is possible for them to learn to focus their minds to access information, knowledge and abilites that have been previously unexplored and unutilized.
All ten ICU Sessions include a healing component intended to benefit the child's mental and emotional well-being.
Children gain mental focus, clarity and understanding. Learning becomes easier and more enjoyable. Academic grades go up.
Children become more creative, resourceful and inventive.
Self-confidence increases. Children believe in themselves and think for themselves.
Children are more calm and relaxed. They learn to eliminate or manage stress and anxiety in a positive way.
Behavior improves. Children become more cooperative, considerate, respectful, helpful and kind.

+ Q & A
A few decades ago, on the fertile soils of Guatemala, cacao deva guided herbalist Keith Wilson to explore cacao. He recognised it as a gentle yet potent plant medicine well suited for inner work and meditation. He called it ceremonial cacao…..
I met Keith and discovered cacao on my travels through Central America in 2013. The experience turned my life around and I started to connect with cacao as a meditation partner and an elixir that helped me form deeper connections with the children I worked with. I became Keith’s Cacao practitioner and am making his cacao accessible to people in the U.K. To buy click here email for direct delivery.
