anything appealing??


After experiencing many cacao ceremonies ourselves - some we enjoyed, some we endured - we, Chiara, Micha Stella and Felix decided to create our own mindblowing formula: KINKY CACAO.


Chiara is our leading sensual goddess who takes care of the preparation of the magical brew and kicks you through a powerful cathartic meditation.


Micha brings in a queer feminist touch and encourages you to let go of identity and stereotypes, leading you into the universal transformation jungle.


Felix provides raw scores, sensations and sillyness, encouraging you to flirt with grace and let humour be your guru.



Finally we step aside and trust the wisdom of the sacred plant and its magical powers: to let happen, what needs to happen!


Holy kinksters, happy hippies, proud perverts, queers and quarks, fairies and fans, princesses and pets - all welcome!

Make your preparations! Set your intention! Free your mind! Brush your teeth! Fasten your seat belt!

Your sensual shamans:


Chiara Polacchini (she). I´m passionate about movement, dance, sensuality, cacao and nature. I have a degree in Marketing, plus a traineeship in Conscious Sensuality and one in Lomi Lomi Massage. Since 2016 I´ve been including cacao into my spiritual practices and later completed a Cacao Training. I organize conscious events and rituals in Berlin and I´m happy to help people to connect with themselves and others.


Mein Name ist Chiara Polacchini. Ich liebe Bewegung, Tanz, Sinnlichkeit und Natur. Ich habe einen Marketing-Abschluss sowie eine Ausbildung in „Bewusste Sinnlichkeit“ und eine zweite in „Lomi Lomi Massage“. Seit 2016 habe ich Kakao in meine spirituellen Praktiken aufgenommen und 2020 ein Kakaotraining abgeschlossen. Ich organisiere bewusste Veranstaltungen in Berlin und freue mich Menschen zu helfen, miteinander in Kontakt zu kommen. Ich liebe es, mit Kakao zu experimentieren und innovative Formate anzubieten. Berlin ist dafür die perfekte Stadt und die drei-stündigen Workshops „Kakao & Sensual Ropes“ waren bis jetzt immer ausverkauft. Die Kombination von rituellem Kakao mit Seilen kann zunächst gewagt klingen. In der Tat geht es beim Bondage aber darum, die Verbindung zu dir selbst und Anderen zu festigen. Der herzöffnende Kakao unterstützt dabei, die Sinne zu aktivieren, sich besser zu spüren und die eigene Wahrheit - besonders Wünsche und Grenzen - auszusprechen. Aus dem gleichen Grund verwende ich Kakao in meinen Veranstaltungen im Bereich bewusster Sinnlichkeit z.B. bei Orgasmic Yoga (Selbstliebe Ritual) und bekomme immer wieder positive Rückmeldungen von den Teilnehmer*innen, die sich auf eine neue Erfahrung einlassen und mehr über sich lernen.


Micha Stella studied Performing Arts at the university “la Sapienza” in Rome and studied acting techniques with Philippe Dormoy at “the Samovar” in Paris. After leaving school, she created the “Urd Company“ with some of her colleagues and directed “Le Bruit Court…“ together with Aurélie Gautier, a theatre piece freely inspired by texts of Daniil Harms.

She worked for a few years on films in Paris, initially as assistant set designer for Vincent Dietschy; as assistant costume designer with Pascaline Chavanne for Anne Fontaine and Thomas Vincent (“Nathalie X“; “Je suis an assassin“); as assistant director with Huber Barbin for Francois Ozon, Xavier Beauvois (“5×2“; “Le petit Lieutenant“).

She also performed in “Julie est amoureuse“ by Vincent Dietschy, in “Villa dei Misteri“ by Ivan Stanef at the “theatre de la bastille“ and in Berlin at the “Sophien Saele“. In Rome, she performed in “Finale“ with the Pacitty Company and in the film “Sfiorarsi“ with Valentine Carnelutti and Angelo Orlando.

Parallel to her artistic work, she focuses on different body practices and on studying nutrition. She practiced dance and Feldenkrais with Peter Goss and Jose Cazeneuve. In 2015, she completed her diploma as a yoga teacher in Spirit Yoga Berlin and in 2016 she graduated in RTT and Hypnotherapy after studying with Marisa Peer in London.

In 2014, Micha Stella met the conceptual artist and choreographer Felix Ruckert. She is deeply inspired by his performance work and his unique takes on Conscious kink, participatory choreography and Sex Positive spaces. Together, they co-created “The New Civilization Training“ a 10 days retreat that combine Fasting with body Practices, Personal Growth, Dance, Music, and Conscious kink, and take place since 2016.
They have produced 3 music videos and the documentary “
Le bel Animal“, that is currently being editing, about Xplore Berlin 2017, a festival created 17 years ago by Felix Ruckert, which has also been exported to other European cities such as Rome, Copenhagen and Barcelona.


Felix Ruckert (she/he/it) is a dancer, choreographer, conceptual artist and curator. He creates events, performs, gives lectures and teaches workshops, often fusing his knowledge from dance with an unique approach to practices of BDSM and conscious sexuality. He also enjoys making music.


He started as a dancer working with several renowned companies (Mathilde Monnier, Pina Bausch’s Wuppertaler Tanztheater) before concentrating on choreography, conceptual work and choreographic installations. Between 1993 and 2008 he created more than 30 evening length performances for his Berlin based company; some of those toured worldwide. He strongly influenced the performing arts by expanding the stage to the physical body of the audience and giving it an active role in his performances. His experimental dance pieces, his participatory work and his choreographies for ballet companies earned him an international reputation as one of the most versatile and innovative contemporary choreographers.


Felix main interests are the endless possibilities of the human body. He studied Ballet, Modern and Contemporary dance, Improvisation, Feldenkrais, Pilates, Continuum Movement, Yoga, Chi Kung, Kyudo, Tao Yoga, Massage techniques, Tantra, Kinbaku, Choir and Solo Singing and much more. In the last twenty years he became well known for his practical and theoretical investigation of BDSM and the exploration of connections between BDSM techniques and artistic practices, developing an art of touch and a philosophy of sensual communication.

From 2007 to 2016 he directed the art venue schwelle7 in Berlin as a fusion of a kinky club, a dance studio and a private living room: a permanent performance on the threshold between the private and the public. schwelle7 also produced many performances and workshops with Japanese masters and therefore played a major role in the popularization of Kinbaku – Japanese Rope Bondage- in Europe.


Since 2004 Felix directs the annual festival xplore in Berlin and curates its international branches, with 31 editions in seven countries so far. Since 2012 he also directs EURIX – The European Rigger&Model Exchange, a bi-annual festival in Berlin dedicated to the development of Rope Bondage as an art form.


In October 2020 Felix opened a new venue in Berlin at Holzmarkt, the IKSK – Institut für Körperforschung und sexuelle Kultur (Institute for Body Research and Sexual Culture). IKSK was closed for Corona and just reopened again, June, 2021.
