This Full Moon in combination with the Autumn Equinox will be one to pause and reflect over this year. We will be gently guided into a safe space as we explore and honor the sacred seasons of our life. We are entering into Autumn, the time of harvesting what we planted earlier in the year, but also a time uncertainty where we face our hopes and fears of the last few months of this year.
On the Equinox we have the perfect balance of night/day speaking to the balance in our lives as we enter into the darker months of the year. We will feast on autumn harvests, sip on hand crafted herbal tea curated specifically for the event and create a despacho offering for Pachamama to connect to our Great Mother and the Stars, gather around the fire and enjoy the company of one another.
A despacho is an Andean ceremony where we build a prayer bundle of offerings to Pachamama, a gift as an energetic exchange for healing and re-establishing divine harmony and protection. This living embodiment of our landscape of life that meets at the level of soul and connects to all creation. Traditionally, we perform this ceremony on each earth cycle to renew and re-imprint the powers of nature for our luminous body to bring in the light. Each item of offering represents a prayer/gift of power that sparks momentum for energy shifts and profound healing. In this we honor Pachamama, our ancestors, our reflections of the year and give it to the fire to transmute what we are letting go/what we wish to bring in for ourselves and the collective.
What to bring:
- Journal/pen
- Instrument to play by the fire if you wish
- Camping chair
