Step into an evening where taste becomes meditation and sound becomes nourishment. This carefully choreographed experience begins with Zaina Gohou guiding guests through a refined cacao degustation from her brand Zacao—exploring chocolate not just as indulgence, but as a gateway to presence, story, and ancestral wisdom.

As the final notes of cacao settle on the palate, the experience deepens. Franck Raharinosy of SoulThroughSound takes over with a sonic meditation custom-designed for this space, using resonant frequencies and intentional soundscapes to guide participants into states of deep relaxation, cellular harmony, and emotional release.

This is sensorial alchemy: the grounding earthiness of cacao meeting the expansive frequency of sound, creating a ritual that honors both body and spirit. Each element has been thoughtfully curated to work in conversation—taste priming the senses, sound unlocking what lies beneath.

The inspiration for Resonance & Ritual emerged from a simple truth: the most profound transformations happen when we slow down enough to feel.

Both cacao and sound have been used for centuries as portals—cacao in ceremonial practices across Mesoamerica, sound in healing traditions worldwide. But in modern wellness spaces, these modalities are often experienced in isolation. We wanted to create something different: a designed intersection where two ancient practices amplify each other.

Zaina's approach to chocolate is already meditative—each piece tells a story of origin, craft, and intention. Franck's sonic work operates in a similar frequency: it's not background music, but a deliberate journey into the body's own intelligence. Together, they create a rare alchemy that's hard to find elsewhere in NYC.

This collaboration represents what 113 Spring stands for: not trends, but timeless practices presented with precision and intention.

You will be gifted the chocolate used in the ceremony to continue your practice at home.

Franck has created a soundscape specifically for this collaboration and space, designed to work in harmony with the physiological and energetic effects of cacao. The evening follows a deliberate arc: taste first grounds you in the body and present moment; sound then guides you inward. Each modality builds on the other, creating a layered experience that’s greater than the sum of its parts. Intimate and intentional. This is a curated gathering, not a mass experience. Small group size ensures each guest can fully drop in, supported by expert facilitation and the unique architecture of 113 Spring.
Exclusive to 113 Spring, this specific collaboration—Zaina’s Zacao World paired with Franck’s custom sonic work—exists nowhere else. It’s been designed for this space, this community, and this moment.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
