Despacho Ceremony honoring Pachamama (Mother Earth)

>>𝙍𝙀𝙂𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀<<
​
Are you feeling out of balance? Craving a sense of connection? Looking for a bridge back to yourself or to your Source? Feeling bogged down by negative energies?
​
During our Shamanic apprenticeship (Whisper on the Winds Shamanic Program at Golden Light Healing), Jayne and Deanna were introduced to the concept of ayni and the despacho ceremony.
​
Ayni represents the reciprocity or sacred exchange of energy and resources to support community and maintain harmony with nature.
​
Despacho ceremonies are sacred peruvian rituals that can be practiced to express gratitude, ask for healing, mark life transitions, or restore harmony.
​
In an ayni (EYE-NEE) despacho ceremony, we acknowledge that we have become out of balance and we take action to re-establish our interconnectedness with Pachamama, the Universe, and one another. We allow positive energies to flow back into our lives, renewing our individual and collective souls.
​
Join us as we gather to create a communal prayer bundle (despacho) infused with our offerings and prayers.
Together, we will seal the despacho with our blessings and our love. Finally, the despacho will be placed in a sacred fire.
The rising smoke will carry our energy and prayers out into the universe, re-establishing our interconnectedness and our oneness.
