Cacao, Psychedelics & Neuroplasticity: Ancient Rituals Meet Modern Science

Join Dr Corin Storkey (PhD Med Chem) for an immersive exploration of how 7,000-year-old Peruvian cacao traditions and shamanic practices intersect with cutting-edge neuroscience.

Discover the sacred role of ceremonial cacao — from its origins at the ancient temple of Montegrande to its use in visionary rites — and how it influences brain chemistry, supports neuroplasticity, and facilitates emotional healing and expanded awareness.

Learn about the latest research on neurotransmitter pathways and transformational change, and experience personalised insights through Cacao Personality Maps (developed via biochemical profiling with Otago University).

Explore how cacao can also support the integration of altered states and enhance Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT). This workshop bridges ancestral cosmovision with modern science, offering practical tools for deeper inner work, mental wellbeing, and conscious living.

If you’re passionate about cacao and curious about its transformative potential, this workshop will expand your understanding and deepen your connection with this sacred plant. Whether you’re a cacao lover or a seeker on a spiritual path, this experience opens the door to healing, awakening, and lasting change.
