Backyard Medicine & Cacao Ritual

Join us for a unique experience combining the magic of cacao with the wisdom of plants. This bilingual (English–Spanish) workshop will guide you through a journey of self-care, creativity, and deep connection with nature.

We’ll begin with an engaging talk on cacao’s fascinating journey:

Understanding cacao as a living seed and its anatomy, including the husk (cascarilla).

What defines a true cacao (“cacao tal”) and the main varieties around the world.

The natural fermentation process — how long it takes and why it’s essential.

The art and science of drying, and the biological characteristics that make cacao so special.

After immersing ourselves in this knowledge, we will move into a Closing Ritual — an intentional space for connection. Guided by cacao itself, we’ll enter a short meditation to tune into the messages this ancient plant has for each of us. This moment invites us to connect with ourselves, with one another, and with the cosmovision that has surrounded cacao for thousands of years.

More than just an experience, this is a bridge between the science of cacao and its soul — a chance to listen, learn, and align with its wisdom.
