SAMHAIN - Ayni Despacho, Cacao Ceremony & Medicine Songs with THEA HANN - Sunday 5th November 4 - 9 pm, Tipheret, Schreinerstr. 55 - Friedrichshain
Prayer Bundle - also called Despacho - is about Love, Kindness and Connection. We give Prayers for us, our loved ones, Mother Nature and Humanity into the Bundle. We give Prayers for the highest good. We all know that our planet is not in balance but mostly because of human actions. In this Beautiful Ceremony we will open ourselves to nature and our inner nature and ask for balance within us and for humanity. Balance or Harmony is called Ayni in Quechua. It means that everything is in a constant exchange. We don’t exist alone. We are all interconnected. Let’s come together and open a Void for healing and interconnection.
The despacho is a gift or giveaway for the organizing principles of the Universe and constitutes the central axis of energetic exchange for healing, reestablishing perfect ayni, or right relationship, or protection. The despacho is the living embodiment of the shaman’s landscape of life, that which meets at the level of the soul and ultimately connects to the source of all creation. The despacho ceremony, in its physical beauty, is a journey to the soul of nature, and with the assistance of the spirit world we explore the energetic inner workings and symbolism of each element of our offerings.
Cacao ceremonies have actually been around for thousands of years, originating all the way back to Mayan and Aztec traditions in Central and South America, used for spiritual, medicinal and ceremonial purposes for inner awakening and creative guidance. Pure cacao is used as a heart opening medicine for people to safely experience awakening, revelation and inner healing. Cacao is used in a sacred medicinal ritual, where intentions are set and once consumed, euphoric states are unlocked, negative emotions are released and we are able to connect to ourselves and the loving energy in our body.
The word Samhain is pronounced Sow(as in Cow)Inn, and is sometimes written in the Old Scottish Gaelic form as ‘Samhuinn’. It is said that at this special time of Samhain the veil that separates the worlds is at its thinnest. So our world, the world of Faerie, and that of the dead, blend as one. It is no wonder then that this night has become so wrapped in superstition. It is a night of wonder and magic. On this night the Cailleach (the Crone) comes to strip the leaves from the trees, to quicken the decay of the flesh of the year, so that it may feed the new life to come. We can also ask Her to take the unwanted aspects of our personal year away, so that these too might be transformed.
Medicine Songs hold boundless healing power.
Healing indigenous music can uplift you, calm you, soothe you or help us to remember who we are.
