Invitation
We open our hearts to the world in love and compassion.
We call on all beings to come together to remember unity and respect
for Mother Earth and all Creation.
We honor our ability to respond in a spirit of tenderness, playfulness,
and delight.
Experiential activities during the 2012 workshop include:
Opening and closing ceremonial space within the Sacred Directions of Peruvian cosmovision.
"Limpias" or cleansings, using a feather or staff and aromatic essences. It's like taking an energy shower with flower essences called "agua florida."
Receiving the initial activation of your luminous energy field in the tradition of the Munay-Ki Rites of the Q'ero, who are the descendants of the Incas. "Munay" means compassionate love.
Creating and activating individual Pachakuti Mesas for all participants. A "mesa" is a floor altar; it is also an energetic map of the universe. It serves as a catalyst to focus healing energy for individual, community, and planetary transformation.
Creating a "despacho", which is a mandala of flowers, herbs, chocolate, candles, and other offerings, which is lovingly created on paper, then bundled and offered with gratitude to the fire.
Creating an "apacheta", which is a stone cairn of a particular design. Apachetas function as sites to gather around for ceremony, as recipients of ritual offerings, and as "acupuncture needles" to help heal, rebalance, and maintain the Earth's "ceque system" of radiating energy lines (similar to, but not identical with, ley lines).
Ceremonial rebalancing of the sacred masculine and feminine energies, and reconnecting mind, heart, and body.
Shamanic journeys to create an empowered vision of the future.
A ceremonial fire.
Laughing and crying
For those who feel ready to make the commitment: A "compacto" or contract of commitment to personal service towards healing the Earth, in whatever way is authentic for each individual on their path.
SUPPLY LIST FOR EDIE STONE'S WORKSHOP
Participants should bring the following items to create their personal mesa (floor altar):
A special cloth, approximately 1 foot to 2 feet square, to serve vas their mesa cloth. "Special" can mean beautiful, magical, ancestral, Peruvian, Celtic, etc.
Objects that embody the Four Sacred Directions and Elements: a stone, a shell and/or bowl for water, feathers, a white candle (and adequate drip plate!).
An object for the Sacred Centre: a personally meaningful sacred object.
Other objects such as crystals, votive candles, a staff or talking stick, and personal sacred objects or medicine pieces that you have created, been given, or found in nature are also welcome.
Drums, rattles, bells, singing bowls, other instruments if you have them are welcome. Harp, anyone?
For the Despacho (a mandala offering) that we will create for Pachamama/Mother Earth. Any of the following that you can bring will be appreciated. We will share, so no one needs to bring everything:
- Flowers.
- Dried herbs (e.g. sage, sweetgrass, bay leaves, tobacco, lavender, rose petals, other sacred herbs).
- Dried maize (kernels, flour, grits, or polenta).
- Seeds.
- Chocolate, sweets, cookies/biscuits, honey, sugar, etc.
- Butter, animal fat (sheep or goat fat, anyone?).
- Small candles of various colors.
- Tiny crystals.
- Origami or other paper offerings.
- Someone needs to bring a large piece of white paper, approximately 3x3 feet.
For the Apacheta or stone cairn that we will build:
- Flowers.
- Dried herbs (e.g. sage, sweetgrass, bay leaves, tobacco, lavender, rose petals, other sacred herbs).
- Dried maize (kernels, flour, grits, or polenta).
- Crystals.
Stones from your home area, special sites in nature, or sacred locations. Placing stones in the apacheta is an act of gratitude and reciprocity, and is also a way of energetically connecting the apacheta to your home or to other sacred sites
