Cacao Community | Learning Workshop

The ChocoSol Cacao Community workshop is an exploration of food orality and a hands-on experience of ChocoSol's incredible bean to bar chocolate making social enterprise. 

The offering is ideal for classes, corporate team building, friend outings and PA days. 

This workshop is opened and closed with a gratitude circle and includes an introduction talk, mindful roasted cacao bean tasting, candied pumpkin seed roasting, bike blending a drinking chocolate, exploring the rooftop garden and trying your hand at making our beautiful chocolate barks and  bites with your friends. 

You'll get an insider scoop of the history and ongoing work we do to make the worlds most ecologically sustainable, ethical and delicious chocolate and coffee. Enjoy the opportunity to work alongside our team of talented ChocoSolistas while you learn about chocolate history, cacao, kakai and amaranth as nourishing food, forest garden ecologies, local farming, eco-preneurship and horizontal trade.
