I am Naomi

After my studies in Interdisciplinary Arts in Maastricht, NL, becoming a Hatha & Kundalini yoga teacher in Vienna, AT, led me to cacao. What seemed to be a mere tool for deeper meditation at first, ignited a journey of learning about the history and effects of ceremonial cacao while translating my findings into my modern, daily life.

Cacao, consciously consumed, has become a space for genuine inner connection, deep self-reflection and remembrance of my part in the complexities of this world. Experiencing modern cacao rituals as supportive on a mental, emotional & physical level, it took a few months that I started to offer my first cacao-facilitated meditations to small groups.

In the process of re-discovering the original essence of cacao through the lens of my busy city life in Vienna, I’ve attended two courses offered by Melbourne-based The Cacao Club and Berlin-based Cacaoloves.me. Only a year later, I’ve travelled Costa Rica and witnessed a traditional approach to cacao plantation & Indigenous ceremony at the Bribri tribe near Puerto Viejo.

I currently live in Freiburg, Germany where I co–founded the Inner Spaces Studio, working as a space holder, yoga teacher and creative – close to my family and the amazing nature of the Black Forest area.
