About Three Queens

Three Queens offers tools and rituals that help women return to themselves through gatherings centered around the simple, sacred act of drinking chocolate.

We offer a limited number of in-person gatherings in northern California and North Carolina and also support women to create their own monthly gatherings.

We believe the future of healing is in-person, embodied, and delicious. Here’s why we use drinking chocolate as an anchor for our gatherings:

  • Ancient ritual: For thousands of years, women across Mesoamerica have prepared and gathered around cacao as a sacred plant medicine—for nourishment, ceremony, and connection.

  • Heart medicine: Cacao is rich in theobromine, magnesium, and antioxidants that open the heart, uplift mood, and calm the nervous system.

  • Ritual and relationship: Drinking chocolate invites presence—slowing us down enough to listen, feel, and reconnect with ourselves and each other.

  • Lineage: To sip chocolate is to join a lineage of women who have used it as nourishment, offering, and art for millennia.

For all that Amanda and Sunita love drinking chocolate and talking, we also love silence. Here we are after a weeklong silent retreat at Spirit Rock in northern California.

About Sunita

For over 20 years Sunita has been curious about how chocolate can be a vehicle to increase empathy, engage customers around global supply chains, find business models that implicitly are a win-win for every member of the cacao-to-chocolate supply chain and HAVE FUN while doing it! That is what she calls Happy Chocolate. After a much needed break from the craft chocolate world, personal loss and some deep healing, she is back for Happy Chocolate 2.0. And she is convinced that drinking chocolate is a simple yet profound path to the root of what is troubling us collectively.

About Amanda

Amanda is a recovering tech founder devoted to finding new ways to bring communities together online and in-person to share, connect, and heal. Raised on carob, which she was falsely told was “just as good as chocolate” by her bohemian activist Jewish grandma, Amanda unsurprisingly leaned hard into real chocolate as an adult.

A serial social entrepreneur, Amanda’s work has centered on listening deeply to the needs of communities to do the transformative work of social change. From cofounding a grassroots immigrant rights nonprofit in her 20s to becoming an exited founder of a humanitarian tech company to starting an arts-driven civic engagement organization, she believes compassion, creativity, and community should be at the center of all change work.

Currently the cofounder of Tend Collective, she’s building an online community to support those at the frontline of healing work. She’s also a devoted practitioner and teacher of meditation, restorative yoga, Reiki, and other healing arts.
