'Our Earthkeepers Despacho on Friday was deeply and profoundly beautiful - it felt as if we were aligning cosmic energies in preparation of the Mission and explicitly inviting in the gods and all the higher beings to fire up this star-ship of ours! Thank you from the very depths of our hearts - we shall treasure the day for the rest of our lives'

Polly Higgins

 

'...a gorgeous and powerful calling in and alignment of energies, which has already shifted much and will accompany us positively on this magical mission, both far and wide across the dimensions...Thank you!'

Despacho Ceremonies bring about healing, transition from what's come to an end to the next stage and celebration.

​

Despacho Ceremonies make beautiful offerings to spirit. Traditionally in the Andes, HEALING is mediated through Despachos. A Despacho is a type of medicine bundle which is offered to spirit either by being buried or released into water or burnt on the sacred fire. It is built with love and reverence and holds your prayers. It is absolutely integral to being in right relationship. In the Andean tradition you offer your gratitude in advance of receiving that which you ask.

In south America 100,000,000 people use this ancient form of prayer bundle every year. Despacho is the oldest form of conflict resolution and is an unparalleled way of harmonising energies: between people; between people and nature; within the psyche of the individual.

 

Held in Sacred Space, fuelled by your intent, guided by me, and with the playful participation of all guests, the Despacho can be a deeply nourishing focus for ceremonies to CELEBRATE or mark any type of life change at any stage of life: puberty, menarche, menopause, marriage, childbirth, naming ceremony, retirement, moving home or job, divorce, death rites, birthdays and any other transitions or crossroads in life.

 

The despacho ceremony is often a healing process as well as a time of celebration. It honours where you are in your life and in relation to spirit. The despacho mediates RITES OF PASSAGE. Typically a despacho ceremony brings you into right relationship as you move into the next stage of your life. 
 

These ceremonies are tailor-made to your individual requirements, incorporating your own spiritual path as well as honouring sacred space. The bundles are made up with flowers, food, candles, sweets, incense, objects representing all of creation, and objects representing that which you want to release and/or invite into your life as well as that which you want to celebrate, honour and express gratitude for.

 

At every stage of the preparation we can co-create a beautiful ceremony to suit the occasion.
