Lah Hallah Maria, a Sangoma—an initiated Zulu healer—performs a cacao ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa. 

A cacao ceremony is renowned for its heart-opening properties, creating a sacred space where participants can experience profound emotional and spiritual transformation. The natural compounds in cacao, such as theobromine, work gently to stimulate the heart, promoting feelings of love, empathy, and connectedness. This heart-centered energy facilitates deep introspection and emotional release, allowing individuals to access and process buried emotions with compassion and clarity. 

As the heart opens, participants often feel a heightened sense of unity with themselves, others, and the universe, fostering a profound sense of peace, acceptance, and unconditional love.
