      Inca Full Moon Ceremony
Join us for a heart-opening Inca Despacho Ceremony under the powerful energy of the Sturgeon Full Moon, a time of inner harvest, spiritual connection, and soul-awakening.
This August full moon carries the wisdom of the ancient sturgeon fish, a symbol of resilience, intuition, and ancestral power. Spiritually, it invites us to connect with our authenticity, release what no longer nourishes us, and step into our creative potential with clarity and courage.
It also reminds us that we are not meant to walk alone. Community, support, and sacred gathering are key to healing and expansion.
Together, we will create a Despacho, a traditional Andean offering made of symbolic elements that carry our prayers, intentions, and gratitude. This sacred bundle will be offered to Mama Qocha, the Spirit of Water, calling in her deep wisdom to cleanse emotional blocks, restore harmony, and support the flow of creativity, clarity, and spiritual renewal.
The Despacho Ceremony is a living prayer, rooted in the Andean tradition of Ayni, or sacred reciprocity. It is a moment to honour the interconnectedness of all life, find peace with the past, and open space for transformation.
As we gather in Munay, the vibration of unconditional love, you will be guided to connect with your intentions, embrace your individuality, and release any burdens keeping you from your true path.
Each participant will be given a sacred leaf to hold personal prayers. These offerings will be woven into the despacho and given to Mama Qocha, so your intentions may flow into the waters of the Earth to be received, purified, and transformed.
🧘♀️ What to Bring:
All materials will be provided. Simply come as you are, with your intention and an open heart.
🌿 Your Hosts:
Barbara-Anne Cumpstey
Suyo Alto Misayuk (Grand Master) of the Ancient Incan Tradition, Barbara-Anne brings over 30 years of ceremonial experience and teachings received directly from Incan masters in Peru.
Claudia Rosas
