SECURE YOUR PLACE

A day dedicated to reconnecting to the power of the earth and with your own inner knowing.

What to expect

We'll come together as a group to unlock trust, clarity, direction and magic through fire, water, smoke, plants and earth.

We'll open up about what's happening in our lives, what we need, and receive support from the plants, elements and Spirit.

SECURE YOUR PLACE

Reconnecting to the power of Earth

For most of human history, our ancestors lived and interacted with a world was alive. They felt its life force, called on the elements for support and gave support in return.

The plants, animals and waters gave us what we needed, when we needed it.

We simply had to know how to ask, and how to give back.

This is a lost artform, and a big reason so many of us feel alone and disconnected - as if we're on this earth to figure everything out ourselves, through effort and crossed fingers.

Today is about reintroducing you to the way humans are meant to live: the form of reciprocity the Andeans called Ayni.

We give in order to receive, balancing our own energy with that of the natural world, and we call on a higher power to help us see more clearly.

What we'll do together

Medicine making

We'll make our own potent Andean floral water for protection (Agua de Florida) and infuse it with our intentions

Smoke & water blessings

Individual blessings to free what we're releasing and welcome in the change we wish to see

Hapé & cacao ceremony

Clear and ground with sacred tobacco in its traditional ritual format. Then go deeper into ceremony with cacao (plus optional plant allies) to reconnect with yourself and Spirit.

Despacho bundle

We'll build a physical expression of our prayers with our hands. Despacho bundles are an old Andean practice of creating a ceremonial prayer offering and then giving it back to the earth.
