In this half-day (4 hour) experience in Peru's Sacred Valley, you will travel the complete journey of cacao, from raw bean to ceremonial cup, using one of the rarest and oldest known cacao strain cacaos on Earth – Chuncho. This is not your garden-variety chocolate, and most people will never experience it in its raw form. In this experience, you will hand-roast, grind, and mold it yourself. The first two hours are a fully hands-on artisanal workshop — hand: sorting, roasting, cracking, grinding, and molding your own ceremonial cacao. The final two hours are a trauma-informed cacao ceremony where you drink the medicine you made, with your own hands, navigate heart-opening practices, emotional integration, meditative breathwork, somatic awareness work and integration practices, and tools to carry forward. Leave grounded and with a personalized, medicinal-dose of ceremonial cacao and a profound sense of relational trust and Andean tradition. There is nothing else like this in the Sacred Valley.
Master the alchemy of cacao and experience a fusion of meditation, soulful somatic healing, high-altitude breathwork, and ancient ceremony in the heart of the Andes.
