Chocolate & Calm: A Self-Care Workshop
Chocolate and Calm is a slower-paced, sensory workshop that blends the joy of chocolate making with space for reflection, connection, and care.
Designed especially for women (or anyone willing to learn), this experience invites you to pause, reconnect with yourself, and explore the role of food – and pleasure – in wellbeing.
Through mindful chocolate-making and meaningful conversation, you’ll craft therapeutic chocolate treats to take home, while nurturing a deeper sense of calm and connection.
