Live from Peru | Online for Australia

Dear Friends,

On the Full Moon, we invite you to gather for an online Despacho ceremony to step into the energies of the New Year through the ancestral wisdom and sacred reciprocity of the Andes.

Guided by Vilma Pinedo, who carries the medicine of her native lineage from Cusco, Peru, we will come together to perform a traditional “Ofrenda”, a ritual of gratitude for the Earth and the spirits of nature.

This will be a time to release the weight of the past cycle and align our hearts with the opportunities of the year ahead.

Our ceremony will center on the principle of Ayni, or sacred balance. Vilma will lead us through the creation of a symbolic offering, using simple natural elements to carry our prayers and thanks. This ritual acts as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, helping us bring our own energy into harmony with the rhythms of the planet and the specific lands where you live across Australia.

Even meeting through a screen, we will create a shared space that honours our deep connection to the natural world. This experience offers a moment of grounding and renewal for those of us who spend our time supporting others in our work or navigating a personal path of discovery, allowing us to welcome the new year with clarity and a grounded sense of purpose.
