​Based on the teachings of don Oscar Miro Quesada, Llankaypaq Munaypa: Deepening Relationship with our Unseen Guardians of Ayni is designed to develop advanced skill and intelligence in the ceremonial application of ayni through the art of despacho making. Building on your foundational relationship with the five directions of the PMT, the Llankaypaq Munaypa (Labor of Love) Apprenticeship is an opportunity to expand your capabilities as a ceremonial ritualist on behalf of Nature, Culture, and Self.
​In addition to the Course Essentials book, you will receive a Despacho Handbook including ceremonial components, an exhaustive list of ingredients and their symbolism, and intention specific ceremonies.
​
​Through this deepening apprenticeship, you will:
​
  • Develop a deep personal relationship with the five unseen Guardians of Ayni: Tirakuna, Awkikuna, Malkikuna, Machula Awlanchis, and Apukuna.
  • Gain a comprehensive understanding of the specific offerings and their uses when engaging the Guardians of Ayni for healing in despachos.
  • Establish a comfort level with creating despachos for personal, communal, and planetary healing.
  • Serve your community as an empowered ceremonialist, leading despacho ceremonies and integrating them into your spiritual practice.
  • Honor the traditional roots of Andean despacho making and explore the contemporary and regional additions to this art.
  • Experience and understand the three primary ways of offering despachos – burying, burning, and offering to water.
  • Receive a minimum of 36 hours of in-person training on the ritual arts of despacho creation and offering in healing service for an individual (Self), the community (Culture), and the planet (Nature).
  • Create and maintain your own despacho kit.

Join Anna Maria Lopez 10-Bears 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 for a complete transmission of the wisdom teachings and initiations.
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 $1377 for all three (save $90)

Location: Kuk Sool Won martial arts studio in Sacramento, CA
