the Andean mystical tradition.

Among other healing modalities, we are trained in the sacred art of despacho making.

The despacho ceremony comes from the Andean mystical traditions, it is a ceremony of thanksgiving and intention setting, performed in honor of Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the Apus (spirits of the mountains); despachos are a way for us to practice sacred reciprocity (Ayni) with the world in which we live.

After learning this beautiful art from the Q’ero, they told us, “now that you know how to do this, it is your responsibility to share it.”   And so, for the years since, we have performed despachos for our local community in Ecuador, and around the world.

We seek, through the despacho ceremony, to bridge the ordinary and non-ordinary realms; to establish new patterns of relationship and possibility. The despacho places us in right relationship, right ayni, with the Pachamama.

It establishes a linkage between our three centers of interaction in the kaypacha (the physical universe); our llankay (our personal power and source of action, located in our solar plexus), our munay (the source of our love, located in our heart chakra), and our yachay (wisdom, sourced from our foreheads or “third eye”)…

The contents of the despacho are in part determined by its purpose. The various elements that comprise the despacho energetically interact to permit access to portals or bridges from the ordinary and non-ordinary worlds. When working in ceremony with the despacho, one is accessing the non-ordinary energetic dimensions, the source of things. Though the contents may have symbolic significance, the despacho, when performed with the correct intent, transcends literal and symbolic domains and directly accesses the archetypal and energetic realms…

In order to build a good co-existence with nature, the only real choice we have is to enter with our heart, wisdom, and our action. We call upon the spirits of the waters, of the mountains, and of the Pachamama to come and help us prepare the offering. We have the intent of seeking to establish and maintain a continuous dialogue with the Mother and to bring balance and harmony to our lives, and to all our relations. It is through the dynamics of love, of right thinking,and of right action that our lives become bountiful.”

When to hold a despacho?

Despachos can be created for pretty much any intention you have, most commonly, they are made for healing and blessing, to clear obstacles, and to mark new beginnings. A despacho is an offering of gratitude and a clear, concise request for help from the unseen forces that guide and support us.

A few examples of occasions we have performed despachos for would be: opening ceremonies (intention setting) for festivals & workshops, house blessings after purchase and before building (to request permission of the nature spirits of the land), house/land clearings (harmonizing energies), blessing ways for babies, rites of passage, and for the health and well being of individuals and, for our beloved Pachamama.

Schedule an in-person despacho or a long-distance remote despacho. Due to the energetic nature of this ceremony you do not have to be present to receive the benefits – energy and intention knows no bounds!

On numerous occasions, Anasha and I have participated in “Ayni Despacho Ceremonies” created by Vinaya and Pyasa… each one is unique, and full of love, life, and laughter! When we have had “ARUN Conscious Touch” Trainings here in Vilcabamba, we always include a “Despacho Ceremony” for the participants… and each time the response was palpable- it brings people closer together, and changes their connection to Spirit and Mother Earth. 

 Vinaya and Pyasa have such a wonderful way of sharing this ancient vision of the Shamans… what they share our the Q’ero wisdom gave me new vistas into energy and healing from a different perspective.  I highly recommend contacting them and including a “Despacho” Ceremony in your healing and meditative Retreats. We have also witnessed how Despachos can bring the community together in troubled times, and focus the intention on unity on many different dimensions.

This shift is a potent time! The structures and paradigms which we have heavily relied upon are breaking down; we have the opportunity to birth new holistic structures and paradigms.

It is time to focus our collective intent, to consciously co-create union, harmony and reciprocity with nature and each other.  Despachos are a powerful way to unify our co-creative powers and practice RIGHT-RELATIONSHIP with the world around us.

Send us a message if you would like a personal despacho for yourself, a friend or family member, or to set the tone and intention for your retreat.

All three ceremonies were lead by Paysa and Vinaya whom I believe are taking the ritual to the next level. Part of the ceremony is to help balance light and heavy energies, as well as feminine and masculine energies.  Pyasa and Vinaya not only posseess these qualities, they bring a grounded yet loving presence to the ceremony…  It is so sweet and pure; you become a part of what they invite everyone to create. A Despacho is a very powerful ritual that has changed my life and my beliefs about where we are headed as co-creators of our universe.  It’s a beautiful sharing of intention and love.  Pyasa and Vinaya guide the ceremonies with grace and balance that goes to the heart of the intention.  I highly recommend anyone to attend a Despacho and see how powerful and life-changing it is.
