About the event
Meet Your Facilitator
Maura Sacach is a Kaqchikel Maya woman from San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala — co-founder of Maya Moon Cacao, the world's first holder of Certified Ceremonial Cacao®. Her work is rooted in cultural preservation, fair trade, and economic sovereignty for indigenous women and farming families.
