Overall, an interesting experience, meeting unique people, and seeing parts of Guatamala that one cannot now see on one's own. I got a strong grasp of the connections, from the growth of the seeds within a cultural context, to the presentation of cacao as an agent of healing, as well as the process of its creation and evolution. This is a valuable learning.
I did, however, find a brand of cacao that I prefer to Keith's. Unfortunately I also found his digressions into poorly examined constructs from the 'dark web' unacceptable on the part of a group leader, which were made part of the group process. This was a negative experience, from which I withdrew.
