Despacho Ceremony

While in Peru I learned how to offer Despacho ceremonies.  The Quechua people of Peru have been offering this healing for thousands of years.  This is a gratitude offering to the land, sacred directions, and ancestors.  Such an offering is made for many reasons.  For example, getting a new job, marriage, buying a home, a new baby, a death, coming of age and a request for healing just to name a few. 

We are given so much, including our bodies, from the land and Despacho is a way to acknowledge that we understand this and that we are very grateful.  It is a way to give back from the heart.  I am honored to facilitate a Despacho ceremony for you, your family, or business to uplift and acknowledge any occasion.

Land Mandala Ceremony

A land mandala is made with natural items such as flowers, rocks and sticks.  As a group, no matter the size, we create a beautiful mandala.  Often, we sing songs, read poems, and speak prayers of love and gratitude to the land and elements.  If you feel hopeless, bored, lost or disconnected with life this ceremony will benefit you greatly.  Reconnecting with Mother Earth and other people in this way is very moving and fills empty spaces within us that are starving for love.  I will facilitate this gathering at no charge to the community.  

If you would like to attend, simply check the Upcoming Events page on this website for the next gathering date, time, and location.  You only need to bring natural items that you intend to place in the mandala.  Some examples are shells, rocks, crystals, fresh herbs, flowers, seeds, leaves, and sticks.  If you play an instrument and would like to offer a song it is most welcome.  Also, anyone can offer a song or poem just check in with me before you begin.
