Hummingbird Wellness is hosting a “Despacho" ceremony on Jan. 21 at Affinity Organic Spa, 468 E.Second St., Clayton. This ceremony is going to focus on releasing from 2022 anything that didn't serve your highest purpose and bringing in 2023 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. A practicing Shaman will walk you through putting 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 aspect of life, helping to bring back wholeness. The process itself is an opportunity to reflect for all who participate. 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 to the ceremonial bundle. We will have everything you will need to create a group Despacho. You can bring a note to the universe to add or anything burnable that you want to add to the Despacho. Please only RSVP if you are 100 percent sure you can make this event. If you RSVP and are unable to attend, please change your RSVP so others can participate. The cost is $40.
