s I reflect on the chaos of last year, I realize now more than ever, my purpose – to raise consciousness through experiential chocolate. As an alchemist called to the great work, I tap into the steps of transformation to energize myself and the chocolates. Meditation, active imagination and being in a conscious, non-ego state allows me to listen for the softly whispered messages and signs that are divulged. In this state my best work reveals itself through the congruence of mind. My latest collection was inspired by the lessons that are formed from chaos, Prima Materia. I am reminded at every turn that disorder serves as a teacher to create the future. Full of disparate contradictions, Prima Materia gradually leads to harmony, when we allow it. Welcoming in what seems messy is the change agent of transformation. It is this shake-up that allows us to choose a new approach and the imagination to carry answers. When we trust the process, we allow ourselves to be nudged forward. To express the teachings of transformation through the medium of chocolate, we searched the world over for the richest Prima Materia soils. From the banks of the Nile, deep in the rainforests, foraged from the roots of oak trees, volcanic soils and ancient forests. We used these precious resources to activate the chocolates and the Chocolate Temple™ where we make them, taking care to be a team that is connected to the work that we do and mindful of the energy of our hands, head and heart that touch each chocolate we make. My fervent wish for this collection is that it serves as a reminder that every day, in every moment, we are dealt a different hand and that each is a teacher. If we choose to allow ourselves the space to receive their lessons, we grow. When we listen with gratitude, we are set on our way. Our imaginations are the key to traveling these winding paths with solid ground beneath us and at the end lies the most powerful lesson of all: we are the medicine, our own healers, with everything we need to remedy and restore ourselves. PEACE, LOVE AND CHOCOLATE®,
