Every season has something to say.

The Cacao Spiritus Club

Cacao Spiritus™ is not simply a chocolate subscription. It is a monthly sensory practice designed to awaken perception, imagination, and inner knowing.

Each seasonal collection unites original chocolates with the Museletter, guided audio, ritual prompts, breathwork, botanical, and a private playlist. Together, these elements invite the body to slow down, quiet the noise, and open into a state of deeper presence.

Created exclusively for Club members and never repeated in precisely the same form, each collection exists only for its season. When that moment in nature passes, the experience passes with it.

One Year. Twelve Collections.

August

Blackberry · Violette Fig · Red Currant

Black Sesame · Grape Must · Piemonte Hazelnut

September marks the turn toward autumn. Black sesame, grape must, and Piemonte hazelnut bring toasted depth and richness as the season begins to move inward.

Created by Katrina Markoff

For more than 25 years, Katrina Markoff has expanded the vocabulary of American chocolate through unexpected ingredients, global culinary traditions, and sensory storytelling. After training at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, she founded Vosges Haut-Chocolat and became an early architect of modern luxury chocolate. Violet Flame Chocolate is the evolution of that work—uniting culinary craft with regenerative agriculture, ritual, neuroscience, and the intelligence of nature.

Katrina seeks rare botanicals shaped by a particular soil, climate, season, and lineage of cultivation. Some appear for only a few weeks each year. Each is chosen when nature determines it has reached its fullest expression.

Cacao Spiritus Club follows this rhythm. Each month, Katrina transforms these extraordinary ingredients into new chocolate compositions created exclusively for members.

Every Ingredient Has a Story

Every collection begins with an ingredient worth searching for.

A Bergeron apricot harvested at its peak. Mara des Bois strawberries celebrated for their remarkable aroma. Bronte pistachios grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. Bulgarian Rose Damascena gathered before sunrise during its brief annual harvest.

Each carries the character of a place, a season, and the people who have preserved it.

Calm the Mind to Taste

Calm the Mind to Taste

The chocolates are only the beginning.

Cacao Spiritus is a practice of slowing down, creating the conditions for the nervous system to settle and the mind to become more receptive. In that quieter state, we create space for imagination, intuition, and a deeper sense of inner knowing.

Because when fear becomes quieter, we can hear ourselves more clearly—make decisions from self-trust, take meaningful risks, and choose what is truly our own.

04

A Moment That Will Not Return

When the season has passed, the opportunity to create that collection has passed with it.

Its ingredients give way to the next harvest, the next botanical, and the next story waiting to be told.
