LIFE CHANGING DESPACHO ~ Release anything in 2024 that needs to GO! We are hosting a “Despacho" ceremony on January 25th. This ceremony is going to focus on releasing from 2024 anything that didn't serve your highest purpose and bringing in 2025 with a fresh start. This is a beautiful sacred practice used in the shamanic community for many reasons. They are very powerful for bringing in new habits and releasing old ones. The beginning of the year is a perfect time to come together and build a Despacho. When we work in ceremony such as the ayni despacho, we work at the level of the soul. A despacho is similar to a mandala or sacred creation as it holds symbolic elements and the prayers of the participants. As the shamans add the elements to the despacho, the vibration of the participants and the area raises. The despacho becomes aliving prayer that brings energy shifts and healing. In the shamanic tradition, an ayni despacho is done with the intention to bring oneself and one’s community into right relationship with the naturalworld. It creates a sense of union, harmony and reciprocity with nature. For the ayni despacho, the shaman begins with a large pieceof white paper that will serve asa ‘wrapping’ for all the offerings. All ingredients have significance, and each receives prayer before being placed on the paper. Coca leaves or bay leaves are used to hold prayers. Sugar and varioussweets bring sweetness and love to the prayers. Corn and other grains are used to nourish participants and the Pachamama (the Earth). All ingredients will be provided for you. Once all ingredients have been added, the shaman carefully folds the bundle into the shape of asquare ‘gift’ and ties it. After a despacho is prepared, the shaman uses it to cleanse the energybody of each participant. A practicing Shaman will walk you thruputting together this sacred work. This Despacho will help you set in place your intentions for your life. Using goals and resolutions you will be able to place them in the despacho so they can come to fruition. The despacho takes the form of a very beautiful offering bundle. A sequence of items is placed on a flat surface, each representing the dedication of some aspectof life, helping to bring back wholeness. The process itself is an opportunity to reflect for all whoparticipate. As the ceremony progresses, all involved form “k’intus”, little groups of three leaves, and, with their own breath, place their prayers and offerings into these. They are then added tothe ceremonial bundle. We will have everything you will need to create a group despacho. You can bring a note to the universe to add oranything burnable that you want to add to the despacho. This event will sell out FAST! Space is limited.
