Cacao's transformation from forest tree, fruit pod, bean to bar - experience the sacred life cycle held within every piece of chocolate.

SEED
We’ll follow cacao’s transformation from pod and bean to the chocolate we recognize—learning about cultivation, harvesting, fermentation, roasting, and the sacred life cycle held within every piece of chocolate. Together we will use our sense of taste to experience each step in the life cycle of cacao in this unique bean to bar experiencial learning class.

A Five-Part Exploration of Cacao

Cacao carries a story that stretches across lands, cultures, and generations. Over five gatherings, we’ll follow its journey from ancient seed to sacred drink—exploring cacao through history, hands-on preparation, sensory experience, ritual, and plant wisdom.

Each gathering offers a new point of connection...

From origin to medicine, each gathering invites us to know cacao more deeply—not simply as something we consume, but as a plant, a tradition, and a relationship.
