Initially she came across raw cacao powder as she was making energy balls to sell in her local, iconic market of Barão de São João, in the South of Portugal. From there she began experimenting with Raw Chocolate creations, playing around with flavours and recipes, fine tuning and choosing the favourites over the years.
Hosting regular meditations, soul voice sessions and yoga classes too, this place thrived in the last few years offering a grounded, safe paradise to those seeking more connection, more love, more creativity. Over 25 years Dani has trained in multiple, diverse healing and dance modalities and brings years of conscious living to the space she holds.
Whilst working with her teacher Rosanna Hanness, (whom she’d cosmically aligned with whilst searching online ‘how to prepare ceremonial cacao’) she expressed the desire to hold space in cacao ceremonies. Having never even been to one, it seemed a little out there, but cacao was guiding the path…. In less than 6 months that dream was a reality and during the time where the outer world was becoming a little crazy, she was creating a safe, cosy, magickal space for her community, where they shared cacao. Visualising “The More Beautiful World our Hearts know is Possible’ (thank you Charles Eisenstein!) they danced and co-created a little piece of heaven on Earth together.
“I’m so appreciative to be working with this beautiful plant, which brings joy and connection to the heart of so many - it is said that in times of imbalance, mama cacao emerges from the forest and helps to restore balance in the world. If I can be a part of that more connected, more loving jigsaw puzzle, then I’m forever grateful.”
