In this untouched state, it has more antioxidants than berries, magnesium, iron, and calcium. From the forests of South America to cities all around the globe, cacao ceremonies are holding space for many to awaken the potential within, release trauma, come back into alignment, and evoke a more intimate relationship with themselves and others.
