Chocolate as a Sacred Medicine - The Chocolate Wizard | Kyle Laz (2020)

Kyle Laz joins us for Season 1 (2020) of Birdsong.

Kyle is a passionate herbalist, sound practitioner and intuitive healer… a modern day wizard if you like, and some of us know him as the chocolate wizard.

For 15 years Kyle has dedicated his life to deeply researching and exploring plant medicines and their application to body, mind and spirit. He has visited many of the key sacred sites of England and Europe, gaining spiritual and practical knowledge from his experiences, which has allowed him to understand the diverse relationships between western health and spiritual concepts and be able to offer holistic healing in this way.

With a strong focus on the five elements, he continues to develop practical processes to recognise, ground and integrate profound, mystical experiences.

He works and trains with a range of modalities including Reiki 1, 2 and Master Teacher attunements, Acutonics, Sound Healing, Massage, Flower Essences, Crystal Healing and Chocolate Ceremonies (a fusion of herbal wisdom, sound and chocolate).
