Meet Your Guides
Sami Malcolm
Sami, founder of Navigate the In:Between, fell in love with cacao for its heart-centred healing power. For nine years, Sami studied directly with Keith Wilson, the Cacao Shaman and founder of Keith’s Cacao, and supported his annual gatherings in Guatemala.
Sami spends part of the year on the shores of Lake Atitlán, where the cacao you’ll be working with originates, and where its energy is intricately tied to the land and its people.
