An Afternoon with Cacao – An Exploration of its Origins, Wisdom & Indulgence
Join Maryam Al-Roubaiai, yoga instructor, wellness workshop facilitator, and cacao enthusiast, on a 2-hour journey exploring the ins and outs of pure cacao – the original form of chocolate.
Quell your curiosities about this beautiful plant medicine, which has been revered by ancient civilizations for thousands of years for its rich health benefits. We’ll discuss the historical significance, nutritional value, societal perspectives and ethical sourcing of this superfood, all the while learning how we can incorporate it into our everyday lives.
We’ll also dive into the intentional intake of pure cacao, drinking and eating it to harness its heart-opening qualities as a conduit into journeying inward. Our experiential segment includes a gentle breathwork session, a guided movement meditation, and a visualization exercise, all designed to foster a profound connection with ourselves and the plant.
Whether this is your first-encounter with pure cacao or you have existing experience and want to deepen your knowledge and connection with it, this workshop is for you!
All participants will be gifted a serving of cacao to take home with them also, to continue their journey with this beautiful medicine.
Wear comfortable clothing, bring water, pen and paper for optional note-taking, and your favourite mug to drink out of.
