Overview
The coca leaf has always been a symbol of peace, wisdom and magic in the Andes. Acknowledged in the Andes as a bridge, Mama Coca serves as a portal connecting two points – more specifically connecting the spiritual and physical world. For this reason, she is essential in ceremonies and offerings – in offerings the leaves serve as the medium to carry our prayers and intentions to Pachamama, and in readings the leaves serve as a medium for the Apus and Pachamama to communicate transcendental truths with us.
The Coca Leaf Reading Ceremony has been a spiritual practice since pre-Inca times, consulted whenever people needed to make important decisions related to anything from seeding season for predicting the weather and social conundrums regarding family, love, business decisions and general life processes. It used to serve as a powerful ally, helping and assisting in the process of decision making.

This special day will depend on you and where you are staying. If it’s more comfortable, we can come to your hotel, or if you prefer, you are welcome to visit the Master’s home in Chinchero. The ceremony can also be held online via WhatsApp or Zoom, making it accessible from wherever you are.
At the beginning of the ceremony, the Master will open with a sacred prayer, calling upon the higher spirits of Mama Coca and Pachamama to assist and guide the ceremony. The Master becomes the bridge between the spiritual world and our physical reality.
The ceremony then moves into the coca leaf reading. You will be invited to select your coca leaves, and the Master will use them to perform a personal reading — an ancient Andean oracle to offer guidance, clarity, and insight into your life. This ceremony is private and personal. If you speak English or another language, you will be accompanied by a spiritual guide who will translate and support you throughout the session.
The ceremony lasts approximately 30 minutes, during which you will have time to ask questions and receive spiritual guidance from the Master.
A Heartfelt
Recommendation
In the highlands of Peru, Coca Leaf is revered as an integral part of daily life, deeply embedded in the culture. We continue the sacred tradition of coca leaf readings, offering profound insights into the Andean way of life. Masters of this ceremony pass down their wisdom across generations, ensuring that this sacred practice is preserved for future generations. Coca leaves are known not only for their ability to alleviate altitude sickness, but also for their vital role in celebrations, ceremonies, and religious rituals. Traces of coca leaves have even been found in ancient mummies, underscoring their lasting cultural significance.
We invite you to approach this practice with an open heart, embracing it with love, responsibility, and awareness. Let us walk gently upon the Earth, honoring each of Pachamama’s sacred gifts. It is essential that we maintain the flow of generosity and respect, not just between ourselves but with the natural world around us, ensuring a harmonious relationship for generations to come.

EXTRA INFORMATION
Why is this ceremony meaningful and how important it is for our life?
This ceremony connects us to wisdom shared for generations long ago. The coca leaf is a bridge between physical and spiritual worlds. We can find clarity, and also guidance, and in addition healing with its help. Coca leaves, for many centuries, have been in use by the people of the Andes to help in making big decisions regarding love, family, work, or anything at all weighing on the heart.
During the ceremony, the leaves turn into a channel for communication with Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the Apus (mountain spirits). They guide us upon our path, offer comprehension, as well as help us see things more clearly. To partake is similar to opening up ourselves in order to receive a message with gentleness and with an open heart, so that we can move forward in the process with some more understanding. This ceremony is in fact so very special because finding of balance is what it helps for us to do. We are connected to each and every other in addition to nature and also the spirit world. When we do participate in this tradition, we can pause and reflect, and tune in to something much deeper, bringing about peace, clarity, and a sense of belonging.
This ceremony, fundamentally, allows a reconnection to the world surrounding us. It’s a beautiful reminder for all that we don’t have to face life’s various challenges alone – the coca leaves as well as the spirits of the land guide us and offer wisdom whenever we need it.
