Despacho

Don Agustín Machacca flores Pampa Misayoq Santos

Despacho in Quechua is Haywanikuy.
There are many types of offerings and Ayni Despacho is for sacred restoprosity. An offering to mother earth (Pachamama) and mountains asking for support, blessings for gratitude and cleansing energy through prayer. Connecting of the upper and lower worlds and to the elements, rivers and mountains.
We have a blessing of the heart by placing the coca leaves and many different flowers and seeds and giving this back to mother earth.

Sound Bath

Gonzalo has been sharing his gift in the Sacred Valley for many years.

The sound bath allows people to enjoy a meditative practice involving the use of resonant music. This creates an immersive sound that fills the room and the body, aiming to help people relax and let go of stress, anxiety, or other worries and concerns.
