Winter Solstice & Sound Healing Ceremony 12/21/23
Supporting the dark within…
Please join us as we celebrate and honor the longest night of the year.
As community we join forces for the creation of a high ritual offering known as a despacho or haywaricuy. (high-wah-ree-kwee)
This is contemporary rendition of an ancient Andean ceremony that uses ritual offerings to give thanks for the gifts that we have received from the Spirit Realm. It is a way of giving back to the Source from which all comes. When prepared and offered with love and sincerity, haywarikuy restores balance & harmony to our lives.
After the creation of the haywaricuy a healing soundscape will be served for the highest healing of all as we step into the Winter season.
WHAT: The creation of a Gratitude Bundle ceremony. Also known as a despacho or haywaricuy. (high-wah-ree-kwee)
We follow the bundle creation with a sound experience that includes 2 gongs, 2 crystal bowls & other powerful instruments. This sound scape designed to bring healing and balance.
