A Despacho ceremony is a beautiful Andean ritual where prayers, intentions, and offerings are woven into a mandala of flowers, seeds, leaves, and sweets. Each Despacho we will hold a specific intention and prayer, each time it will be different, giving offerings to the spirit realms for harmony, healing and alignment. This is a powerful way to honor the spirits who walk with us, release anything burdening you, clearing ancestral patterning, and create new ways of relating in the spirit realms creating a relationship of Ayni.
Ayni is more than just “giving back” — it’s a way of living in balance, where giving and receiving are part of the same flow. In the Andes, Ayni is understood as a universal law: when we give to the Earth, the mountains, the waters, the spirits, and each other, we receive blessings, harmony, and support in return.
I will be guiding each of you to build your own despacho. All materials will be provided, bring any pictures and any other sacred items you would like to add to your despacho.
Ceremony: Opening ceremony, Hape’, Cacao, Building Despachos, Break for food share, Opening Fire Ceremony, Offering Despachos to the fire, Closing Sacred Space.
Dress Theme: During the seasons we like to be festive and celebrate accordingly. Please check the Group Ceremony Events for more details.
There will be an altar at the Offering Tree you are welcome to add anything you like to it as an offering of prayer.
