New Moon Despacho Ceremony
4th August 2024 @ 16:00 - 18:00 SAST

New Moon and Pachamama Month Despacho
A despacho ceremony is an ancient ritual still carried out in the Andes of Peru. It’s a prayer in the form of offerings that are placed with intention and love in a kind of 3-dimensional mandala. As with prayers, there are many different reasons for despachos but they are always done in a space of sacredness, gratitude and anyi (reciprocity).
August is Pachamama month. It begins on the first day of August when offerings are made to the earth (Pachamama) and seeds to be planned to ensure good harvests for the coming spring season.
I was initiated in June this year in Peru by Kamaq Wageaq of the Sacred Andean Tradition to perform these beautiful ceremonies.
Sunday 4 August is also New Moon. The new moon as it signifies a new cycle.
Use this despacho to release, and to plant intentions of what you are earthing within yourself.
Please arrive at 4.00 for a 4.30 start. We will be complete by 5.30/6.00pm
Bring something to share with tea or by donation.
