Lunch & Learn at 1440: Cacao Ceremony

Learn about the ancient tradition of cacao, which is celebrated and honored as a sacred drink in spaces of togetherness including rituals and celebrations. More than just chocolate, the benefits of cacao vary from being a soft, sustainable energizer to a stimulator for happiness and motivation. Through breathwork, meditation, music and dance, a cacao ceremony creates a heartfelt space for group bonding, setting intentions, deepening connections, and fostering a sense of community and sharing.

Afterwards, enjoy delicious, sustainable and locally sourced lunch at Kitchen Table featuring global cuisine prepared by our 1440 Culinary Team. Deeply nourishing and highly enjoyable, Lunch & Learn at 1440 provides a fulfilling opportunity to connect with yourself and other like-hearted community members while creating hope for living well.
