AFRO-DESCENDANT HISTORY OF CACAO Cacao Ceremonies are a celebratory ritual that opens the heart space through the use of cacao. Traditionally Cacao Ceremonies have been conducted by the afro-indigenous ancient civilizations of the Olmec, Maya, & Aztec. Cacao is a heart opener and brain stimulator. Cacao is also a superfood and can be enjoyed as a chocolate bar, in smoothies, as well as served hot in a ceremonial context due to its antioxidant benefits.
