• Don Bosco 401 - Embark on a half-day (4-hour) adventure in Peru’s Sacred Valley, where you’ll explore the entire cacao journey, from raw bean to ceremonial cup, using the rare and ancient Chuncho cacao strain. This is a unique opportunity to experience cacao in its purest form, unlike typical chocolate. Participants will engage in hand-roasting, grinding, and molding the cacao themselves. The first two hours involve a hands-on artisanal workshop, including hand-sorting, roasting, cracking, grinding, and molding your own ceremonial cacao. The final two hours feature a trauma-informed cacao ceremony, where you will consume the cacao you crafted, engage in heart-opening practices, emotional integration, meditative breathwork, somatic awareness, and integration practices, along with tools to take forward. Depart feeling grounded, with a personalized medicinal dose of ceremonial cacao and a deep connection to Andean tradition. This experience is unparalleled in the Sacred Valley.
  Master the art of cacao alchemy and enjoy a blend of meditation, soulful somatic healing, high-altitude breathwork, and ancient ceremony in the heart of the Andes.

Engage with pure Chuncho cacao, a Natural Patrimony of Peru, sourced from small, independent farms in Quillabamba, including those of the coffee-growing family of your host, Walther Silva. By participating, you directly support local farmers and uphold a family tradition of traditional Andean agriculture.

Guidance is provided by Juanita Hufnagel, a two-time Hatun Karpay Initiate and Advanced Shamanic Practitioner with expertise in soul retrieval and somatic integration. As an award-winning author and TRE-Certified specialist, she seamlessly blends ancient traditions with modern nervous system regulation.

The program is co-facilitated by Walther Silva, a native Peruvian IFBB-certified holistic coach and founder of FitAndes. Walther combines professional athletic discipline with advanced breathwork and meditation, focusing on high-altitude performance and mindful movement. Together, they create a trauma-informed, intimate environment that respects the journey of the plant from the high jungle to your heart.
