Taste the Magic: A Ritual Journey into Flavor Art

Arts + Literature Laboratory and the LAB^4 community curation team welcome artist and chef Aubree Saia for Taste the Magic: A Ritual Journey into Flavor Art on Tuesday, July 8 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm (please note updated start timeFree advance registration required at hisawyer.com.

Join Aubree Saia for a sensory tasting experience where food becomes sacred and cacao is the medicine. This immersive ritual experience weaves together the healing and culinary arts, inviting you to awaken your senses, deepen your embodiment, and reconnect with your soul through the alchemy of flavor.

We’ll begin by opening sacred space and calling in the directions. You’ll be invited to set an intention, learn a mantra, and infuse your energy into the entire creative process. From there, we’ll move into the hands-on crafting of elevated cacao truffles — scooping, weighing, rolling, and adorning each confection with love. Each truffle will be finished with specific, intentional toppings, chosen to amplify and complement its unique flavor.

The evening will close with a tasting adventure featuring the current collection of Inspired Alchemy truffles. Truffle Six-Packs will be available for purchase — a chance to savor the ritual long after the ceremony ends or to share the magic with someone you love.
