The Ceremony: Led by an Andean Master, the ceremony involves creating a sacred mandala-like artwork using meticulously chosen seeds, candies, coca leaves, and other sacred elements. This process offers you the opportunity to infuse your prayers and intentions into the offering, directing blessings to areas of your life where they are needed most. Once the offering is complete, it is wrapped like a gift and presented to the sacred fire, where powerful blessings and miracles begin to manifest. Witness the profound exchange of energy between you, Pachamama, and the elements of nature.
