Happy Winter Solstice!
Come Celebrate the Solstice, Open your Heart with Sacred Cacao, & Manifest your Dreams!
We will begin with a Cacao Ceremony, using cacao as a heart-opening ritual to deepen spiritual awareness and connection; with ourselves, one another, and the Universe. Cacao invites us to slow down, listen within, and connect with our inner wisdom. From this open-hearted space, we will move into the sacred practice of intention-setting and manifestation.
In the Andes, they have a festival Q’olloirit’i where people do the “sacred work” – pukllay and they have a play area where people are light hearted, laughing, and loving but with serious intentions. They manifest their dreams in this play area with “sacred play” by embodying their dreams and desires through the creation of a despacho.
What is a Despacho?
A despacho is a ceremonial prayer bundle created to embody your dreams. They are traditionally used by the Q’ero [from Peru], Incan, and Andean tribes. A despacho is believed to connect your soul to the source of all creation. To restore balance and harmony.
“A despacho is a living prayer that brings energy shifts and healing.” – Dr. Alberto Villoldo
Some people have sold their house and found their dream home, some people have discovered their dream job, some have become healthier. Whatever you desire you can focus your despacho on. As long as your intention is true the despacho will help that intention to become true.
Our ceremony will culminate with a Sacred Fire, where we will offer our despachos and intentions to the flames.
Fire becomes the element of transformation, carrying our prayers beyond the physical realm while inviting us to release attachment to how our desires will unfold.
Name it. Feel it. Embody it. Offer it. Release it!
Come ready to dream boldly, play wholeheartedly, open your heart, and step into the possibility of what you are calling into your life for the New Year.
Ps. If you bring water, please ensure it is in a closed container.
