When Cacao arrived in Berlin
4 winter seasons
La maison du Cacao
Casa Cacao was born in Germany in 2015.
Here Sofia truly met Winter, and at first didn't understand how to go peacefully inward. She did the opposite! With 33 she created Casa Cacao!
A seasonal place, Casa Cacao was a possibility to gather in community, in Kreuzberg/ Neukolln.
Une petite histoire :
At the beginning, Sofia just wanted to make raw chocolate. She just loved to prepar them to make them, taste to her friends that were always asking for more…
One day she met Charlotte who she told her about her idea to do something more with Cacao, Charlotte said if you do something I’m with you. Walking in the street Sofia saw her chociolates in the Vitrine of an Ice cream shop and so it was a few weeks later they had the keys of a ice scream closing for the winter! This is how Casa Cacao was born.
Idea shared with the right person, vision and manifestation.
Out of the desire to prepare chocolates with only raw ingredients, Sofia and Charlotte just learned together, but Cacao was only one part, Casa ( HOME) did not contain only chocolate suddenly it exploded into a house full of life, full of workshops, full of children, adults, it became somehow a very colorful, bountiful, full of diversity space, container, bubbling of creativity.
The three next winters again in an ice cream place, but this time Sofia went on without Charlotte and let her creativity go wild….
From Puppet Shows, to Sound sessions, Yoga, Voice, Plant, creativ workshops, for children, for men, for women, a space where always something different was happening.
A Space before the monopole of urban spots where it was still possible to create community.
We had two moon Temple cycles of 28 days, each time creating with 13 women to honor the moon cycle
A very rich time before Corona…
What remains from this 4 winter seasons during 4 years, is not only “souvenirs” but people who actually started their journey there, people that tried their formats for the first time in this container because there was no pressure of success and there was full trust in empowering the women that wanted to create and that were needing a safe space that had an amzing network to feel free to try, experiment and allow to create their personal formats.
Allowing their seeds to be contained in this Cacao Pod :)
Seed sprouted and are blossoming out into the world for the pleasure of all.
Today you can still book a cacao ceremony held by Sofia or a do it yourself Chocolat Workshop where Sofia explains everything about her Cacao friend, but there is no physical space anymore except for the beautiful homes of Sofia 😉
