A sensory experience tasting chocolate, cacao and kava products while sharing stories of indigenous cultivation and a way of life.

In Samoa, Koko (Cacao ) is offered to deepen social connection.

Koko & Konnect is a sensory experience created by Living Koko. A chocolate and cacao tasting event with more depth and understanding of where our cacao comes from. We will also teach you how to make your drinking chocolate from scratch. Together roasting, peeling and hand grinding the beans.

We will take you on a heart led journey through the Pacific Islands sharing the stories of cacao from our homelands and our indigneous cultivation practises that are still used today.

Sampling a variety of chocolate/cacao products created by Living Koko, a zero waste cacao manufacturing space based in Melbourne that has a family lineage from over 200years of cultivating cacao and exporting from Samoa.

We will also take some time too gently check in with ourselves, connect with our breath, while mindfully tasting and understanding chocolate as a plant medicine.

Join us for a night of cacao, connection and deeper understanding on fa’a Samoa (the Samoan way of life)
