Offerings
Ceremony is a process for calling in higher dimensional energies and “earthing” them in our physical reality. This grounding of subtle frequencies gives us access to the transformational power of Spirit. Ceremony generally includes a ritual expression of our gratitude for all we have received and a “giving back” or reciprocity that feeds into the entire web of life, acknowledging our connection to All That Is.
The Despacho and Apacheta ceremonies contain traditional Andean Earth-honoring ritual offerings, made to the unseen realms of Earth and Spirit to bring deeper connection, balance and vitality into our lives. |
Ceremonies
Despacho Creation – A “dispatch” to the Spirit Realm that carries our expressions of gratitude to all those beings who make life on Earth possible. This creation involves the placement of gifts of food and other sacred items that have been imbued with our prayers into a prayer bundle that will either be burned, released into water or buried. Traditionally performed on New and Full Moons, Equinoxes and Solstices expressing our gratitude, they can also be created to make specific requests of the Spirit Realm for blessings, assistance, guidance or to mark the beginning or ending of cycles such as birth, death or other transitions.
Apacheta Creation – Building a stone cairn or rock altar to bless your personal space, to earth the energetic transmission coming in, or for healing land that has been harmed or degraded. This altar functions like an acupuncture needle into Mother Earth, bringing Celestial and Galactic healing energies to nourish, support and revitalize the Earth’s web of life.
Transition Ceremony – Creating a personalized prayer bundle to assist a person who is about to, or has recently passed on, to move smoothly through the planes of being with assistance from the Spirit Realm and Higher Guides. The ceremony also facilitates the grieving process for those who remain behind and can bring great peace of mind and closure.
House Clearing and Blessing – The ceremonial removal of unwanted presences, influences, energies, beings or patterns that prevent your home from being a sacred sanctuary of peace and harmony. This might include removal of lost souls, energy imprints from previous inhabitants, traumatic events or conflict, or even historical harm that the land under your house has sustained. The space is ceremonially transformed, then filled with the qualities and energies that you wish to have in your house and life and finally sealed to protect it.
