Winter: a time to come home to roost within the body.
A gathering in and self reflection for the blessings of the feast from the harvest
To slow down and take space within the refuge of the colder months
A time for rest, for dreaming, for nourishing the tiny buds of new life stirring deep within the darkness

ABOUT DESPACHO GRATITUDE CEREMONY 🍁
"If the only prayer you said was thank you, that would be enough". – Meister Eckhart
A despacho earth offering gratitude ceremony is medicine. It is a ritual of energetic exchange to re-establish ‘right relationship’ or ayni with yourself, others and the earth.
The ceremony is simple. You say thank you. You say thank you for as much as you can think of. The whole idea is to be so full of gratitude that you can tangibly feel it. And then you soak it in and begin to crave time each day to simply say thank you. The despacho is an opportunity to express all the thanks we have in our heart, mind and spirit and make an offering to life with our own hands.
The practice originates with the Q’ero people and bridge workers in Peru, who have shared these teachings with the intention that they are shared with others and have expressed their blessing for this simple way to say thank you to be practiced around the world.

To participate in the ceremony, you will need:
🍁 A piece of biodegradable paper (laid flat on the ground or on a table)
🍁 Biodegradable ribbon or string
🍁 Small amounts of biodegradable natural offerings, which can include anything you have available in your kitchen and garden:
