More about the space, hosts, and event

This is a celebration of the bean in its rawest form, and its most refined expression. As we journey with chocolate, we will move, dance, taste and delight in its many layers. A vintage twist will weave through the evening, with records spinning and nostalgic, chocolate inspired cinematography setting the MOoOd.
For those unfamiliar with the space: it is the working studio of floral artist and event producer Coco Bustin-Garduño and pianist Rob Fontana. Together, they host intimate, art-driven gatherings that celebrate elements of the natural world with an avant-garde sensibility, often featuring a diverse range of musicians in whimsical, thoughtfully curated settings.
Join us for a low lit evening designed by Chanti and Coco to delight the senses and open the heart. Let these two Latin babes guide you on a cacao experience that is deeply rooted in tradition and infused with artistic expression. Both Chanti and Coco have independently studied cacao traditions in Latin America. Chanti has served numerous cacao ceremonies and completed studies in Guatemala, Colombia, Peru, and beyond. Coco previously worked on an eco farm in a Mayan village in Guatemala, teaching visitors how to craft chocolate from bean to bar.
