So, what exactly is cacao? Essentially it is the dried and fully fermented fatty seed of Theobroma cacao plant.

Now, what can one expect from this raving-yet-not-so-hardore party? Well, the invitation promises:

- A sacred Mayan cacao ceremony performed by David 'Avocado' Wolfe.

- Cacao smoothies, tonics spiked with SuperFeast tonic herbs, a whole lot of on Pana Chocolate and an array of Sadhana Kitchen's raw delights.

- Powerful live performances and DJS on the decks that will get you dancing like there's no tomorrow.

If this all seems a bit much towards the end and you find yourself feeling a bit partied out, there will also be a convenient “Chill Space”, which features Tribal Yoga, drumming circles and more.

David refers to himself on his website as “the rock star and Indiana Jones of the superfoods and longevity universe.”

He also openly preaches anti-vaccination views - and regularly Tweets about them - and encourages cancer patients to follow to a raw-food based diet as opposed to traditional medicinal practices.

Just last month, the guru was scheduled to speak about wellness and nutrition as part of a Mr Vitamins event in the Sydney suburb of Chatswood, however after the Sydney Morning Herald made some inquiries, the event was cancelled by the sponsor.

This cancellation also came after the wellness guru caused a commotion on social media, causing Mr Vitamins to be slammed by consumers for promoting his talk on Facebook.

But while that event won't be going ahead, David is currently in Australia and aside from throw his raw cacao party in Sydney, he also has a chat scheduled in at Byron Bay on March 16.

The raw cacao party kicks off at 7pm and is based in the inner-west of Sydney at Marrickville Town Hall. Tickets, by the way are sold at the door and are priced at $50.

So zen. So fresh. All of the energy.
