The Q'ero\u00a0Mesa, and
\nthe Andean Despacho Ceremony
\nSaturday, January 18, 2020
\n3pm to 6:30pm<\/h1>\n

Advanced students! Join me in ceremonial spaces to learn about the powerful Incan medicines of the Mesa and the Despacho . First part of class you will make a Mesa, and second part of class you will participate in the Despacho ceremony to offer prayers, to bring balance, healing and reciprocity.<\/p>\n

The Q'ero, whose name means keeper of the key, are shaman mystics, descended from the Inca, who live at 15,000 feet in the Andes. They understand energy and how to work the mental, emotional, physical and energetic bodies for harmony, peace, health and well-being. Both the Mesa, and the Despacho Ceremony are important tools and practices for living in balance with the spirit world.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Q'ero Mesa<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Mesa is a Spanish word that means table or altar. It is a transportable altar, that carries the power of the prayers, stones, sacred items and medicine that make it up. It is basically an Andean Medicine Pouch, for use in prayer and healing.\u00a0The mesa, which contains v<\/p>\n

The Despacho
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"Then, we will move into the healing and blessing powers of an Andean Despacho. A depsacho is a prayer bundle offering ceremony for a wide variety of occasions \u2013 births, deaths, as an expression of gratitude, to heal physical and emotional ailments, to restore balance and harmony, or when there is a specific request of the spirit world.<\/p>\n

The offering is made up of suggested items which are offerings to the spirit world, to bring blessings and healings. Every offering given in the ceremony increases the vibration of the space and the people involved, enhancing the intentions of our prayers, and the power of a community prayer circle. These offerings are part of the practice of Ayni, or reciprocity. Giving back to spirit, to Life, opens the power of gratitude, creating balance, healing and abundance.<\/p>\n

What to Bring for Your Mesa:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A sacred cloth<\/strong> for the outside of the Mesa - 15x15\" up to 20x20\" are good sizes.
\nSmall stones<\/strong> - Quartz, Rose Quartz, a Black Stone (obsidian, hematite, shungite, black tourmaline), selenite.
\nOther stones<\/strong> - Any meaningful stones that have the energy and power you are attracted to.
\nSacred items<\/strong> - Any small statues, trinkets or sacred items symbolizing the Divine, Deities you work with, sacred geometries, etc.<\/p>\n

What to Bring for the Despacho:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Items for the despacho represent the Universe and the World of Spirit. The power of this ritual is to honor the many aspects of Spirit, through symbolic representation, gratitude and prayer. The ceremonial placement represents the interconnectedness and wholeness of spirit and all life.<\/p>\n
