Create Your Own Despacho: A Prayer Offering to Spirit

With: Mercedes Soler

Sunday, November 22nd at 5:00 pm EST

Duration: 75 minutes




About This Session:

A Despacho is a traditional Andean (South American) ritual...an offering ceremony that builds a prayer bundle or offering to Pachamama, or Mother Earth, as an expression of gratitude for the gifts she brings us every day. We create a Despacho in exchange for her care of us, to ask for her help, to heal physical and emotional ailments of any kind, to restore balance or harmony where it is off, or when there’s a specific request of the spirit world.

In this workshop, you will each create your own Despacho with pure love and intention, which you will ultimately offer back to the Pachamama later that same evening it is built.

Your love bundle can be made with flowers, spices, seeds, candy or any natural item that grows in Mother Earth’s garden (or yours!).
