Join Anna Lopez and Heather Weingartner for this intermediate intensive series
This intensive is divided into three weekend-long immersions. You are not required to attend all three, though it is recommended.
PART 1: Wisdom transmissions, rituals and apprenticeship with forming relationships with the Tirakuna, Awkikuna and Malkikuna, the guardians that are honored in the south, west and north of the mesa, the sacred altar space of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition. These guardians are "fed" ritual offerings in order that we may be in a balanced relationship with Mother Nature and the Unseen.
Part 2: Wisdom transmissions, rituals and apprenticeship with forming relationships with the Machula Awlanchis and Apukuna, the guardians that are honored in the east and center of the mesa. We will learn how to "feed" these beings in Good Way, and then engage in a full despacho ceremony that connects us to all of Mamapacha, Mother Earth, the Unseen and our community.
Part 3: High ceremony including the co-creation of multiple despachos that weave ourselves, the cosmos and all of humanity into luminous threads of beauty, service and love. Apprentices will be mentored in facilitating theme-specific despachos for high solar & lunar holidays and other potent ceremonial events.
Tuition: $489 per weekend or $1467 or $1391 for all three (save $76)
*Scholarships and payment plans available
Location: Kuk Sool Won martial arts studio in Sacramento, CA
