Life can feel full and fast, and this is a chance to pause and land before moving into connection.From there, we gather in a circle to share cacao. Traditionally known for supporting openness and presence, cacao offers a gentle, grounding quality to the space.The circle then opens into a heart-sharing experience. A reflective prompt will be offered, and you’re invited, but never expected, to share. This isn’t about fixing or giving advice - it’s about honest expression, deep listening, and simply being witnessed.We’ll close the evening with a nourishing plant-based dinner and dessert, included in your ticket, with space for conversation to continue naturally.A few things to know:You’re very welcome to come on your own — many people do. There’s no expectation to know anyone, and no pressure to share if you’d prefer to simply listen.No prior experience with cacao or heart-sharing is needed.The evening closes with a plant-based dinner and dessert, all included in your ticket. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/581a3fc0-399d-11f1-a530-6f05b3be21cf-rimg-w1138-h740-dc2d2f2b-gmir.jpg Meet your hosts, Andre & RasesvariAndre has been immersed in circle spaces from a young age, first experiencing a rite of passage in Golden Bay that sparked a lasting connection to this way of gathering. Since then, he has continued to deepen this work, holding space for others to come together in honesty, presence, and authentic connection. A multi-instrumental musician, poet, and pranayama (breathwork) facilitator, Andre brings creativity and thoughtful guidance into his offerings. His approach is grounded and intuitive, guided by a curiosity about what it means to be human and how we can experience more connection and depth in everyday life.Rasesvari (pronounced Rah-say-shwari) has always remembered feeling connected to healing, the inner world, and what helps people feel well and in alignment. Growing up, she spent many hours tucked away in libraries, reading about philosophy, plants, and anything that felt meaningful or life-giving. Her loving aim is simple. To ceate spaces where people can finally feel comfortable in themselves again and and have room for their own growth and healing. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/5850b910-399d-11f1-a530-6f05b3be21cf-rimg-w750-h740-dc46302a-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/5880f0d0-399d-11f1-a530-6f05b3be21cf-rimg-w587-h740-dc314517-gmir.jpg Agenda🕑: 06:00 PM - 06:15 PMArrive to Bhakti Lounge🕑: 06:15 PM - 07:15 PMCacao & ConnectionHost: Rasesvari🕑: 07:15 PM - 08:15 PMPlant-based dinner and dessert! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/wellington/cacao-and-connection/100001987252860802 - **Event Categories**: Art, Entertainment, Music, health-wellness, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 10.86, max: 21.32, currency: NZD ## Event venue details - **city**: Wellington - **state**: WG - **country**: New Zealand - **location**: Bhakti Lounge Wellington - **lat**: -41.2945501 - **long**: 174.7737726 - **full address**: Bhakti Lounge Wellington, 175 Vivian Street, Wellington, New Zealand ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Cacao & Connection - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/f450c39777519ecd4a9a9fe74bfb5cef899531f852813955eb7618e10d1a1d2f-rimg-w1200-h628-dc764831-gmir.jpg?v=1776348341 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Cacao & Connection being held? - **A:** Cacao & Connection takes place on Thu, 21 May, 2026 at 06:15 pm to Thu, 21 May, 2026 at 08:45 pm at Bhakti Lounge Wellington, 175 Vivian Street, Wellington, New Zealand. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Cacao & Connection? - **A:** Ticket prices for Cacao & Connection range from NZD 11 to NZD 21 depending on the ticket type.
