Shamanic Despacho
Sacred Peruvian Ceremony
Celebrate the upcoming arrival of a new life with a unique and meaningful touch by hosting a Peruvian despacho ceremony!
Despacho is a sacred shamanic ceremonial offering to Mother Earth that can be performed to usher in blessings, healing, or to express gratitude. In traditional Peruvian culture, a despacho ceremony is held for a wedding, birth, death, or any event worth commemorating.
It involves creating a ceremonial offering, or despacho, using various symbolic items such as flowers, grains, colored papers, and more.
Friends and family gather to infuse the offering with their intentions, prayers, and gratitude, forming a sacred bundle. The despacho is then ritually burned or buried as an offering to the Earth and the spirits, symbolizing reciprocity and harmony with the natural world.
Gather friends and family to collectively create a beautiful ceremonial offering filled with wishes, love, and positive energy for the baby and the mother-to-be. This heartfelt ritual adds a special and spiritual dimension to the joyous occasion, fostering a sense of unity and connection as you welcome the newest member into your community.
