Peruvian Q’ero Despacho Ceremony

A Sacred Ritual of Gratitude, Healing & Harmony

What Is a Despacho

A Despacho Ceremony is a traditional Andean offering ritual practiced by the Q’ero people of Peru, descendants of the ancient Inka.

This sacred tradition is an act of ayni—sacred reciprocity—where we honor Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the Apus (mountain spirits) by creating a beautiful prayer bundle filled with intention, gratitude, and love.

Each element—flowers, leaves, sugar, herbs, seeds, shells—is symbolic. Every layer in the Despacho represents a prayer, blessing, or intention, offered in harmony with the natural and spiritual worlds.

The Ceremony Experience

Led by Jeff, the Despacho unfolds as a meditative, heart-centered experience. Whether shared in a group circle or private one-on-one setting, each participant contributes their personal or collective prayers.

The ceremony may include:

  • Sacred invocation of nature spirits and energies

  • Intention-setting for healing, abundance, or transformation

  • Layering of symbolic offerings on a sacred cloth

  • Cleansing ritual with palo santo or incense

  • Final offering — the Despacho is burned, buried, or released to water to carry the prayers

Why Attend

The Despacho Ceremony is ideal for those seeking:

  • Spiritual healing and alignment

  • Emotional clarity and inner peace

  • Marking a transition, new beginning, or closure

  • Connection to nature and ancestral wisdom

A soulful way to return to balance and call in your deepest intentions.
