Coca Leaf Reading for Personal Diagnosis
The retreat begins with a Coca Leaf Reading for personal diagnosis. This ancient Inca ritual offers insights into one’s physical, emotional, and spiritual state.
The shaman carefully examines the fallen leaves, interpreting their patterns and positions to provide a personalized assessment:
-
The leaf arrangement reveals underlying health concerns or imbalances.
-
The leaf shapes and textures indicate emotional blockages or energetic shifts.
-
The leaf positions point to spiritual guides or areas requiring attention.
This reading lays the foundation for the retreat, guiding the ceremonies and healing techniques to address each participant’s unique needs.
Negative Energy Cleansing Ceremony
After the Coca Leaf Reading, participants engage in a Negative Energy Cleansing ceremony.
The shaman leads this ritual, which aims to release any negative energies, emotions, or blockages. Participants may be asked to sit or stand in a circle as the shaman smudges them with sacred herbs and smoke.
They may also be guided through breathing exercises or other shamanic practices. The ceremony provides a sacred space for individuals to let go of unwanted energies and prepare for the Ayahuasca experience.
It’s an important first step in the retreat’s holistic approach to healing and spiritual growth.
Ceremony of Offering to Pachamama
On the final day, participants gather for the Ceremony of Offering to Pachamama, or Mother Earth. This sacred ritual honors the land and seeks blessings for the journey ahead.
The ceremony includes:
Chanting and prayer to express gratitude for the Earth’s abundance and life-sustaining gifts. Offerings of flowers, herbs, and other natural elements to connect with the spirit of Pachamama.
