History and use of

Sweatlodge Purification Ceremony

"I´m grateful to have had the opportunity to have learned the steps of making this sacred ceremony happen. From the respectful gathering of the necessary elements such as wood, water, earth, wind & fire to creating this magical space to work the elements to the peak of the alchemical process. Coming together and sharing this ancient experience of cosmic fusion in unity through presence, prayers, songs is a blessing. Always reminded to honor the vital source of the sun and the sacred grounds that holds us." (Julian)

Fire ceremony is often used by Shamans during the changes of the seasons (solstice, equinox), at the Full Moon, New Moon. Fire ceremony is a Native American practice used to release unwanted energies and attachments from the past and make space for new intentions. A fire ceremony can be used to release unhappy memories, fears, negative emotions, and anything that you are holding onto that doesn’t serve your Higher Self. By releasing these unwanted energies and old patterns into the fire, you are healing at the soul level.

In Peru (as well as in parts of Bolivia and Ecuador), there’s an ancient ceremony called the “Despacho.” The word means “sending a message or care package” in Spanish and it’s an act of love that reminds us of the interconnectedness shared between all beings, elements, spirits, and sacred places. Despachos provide us with the opportunity to momentarily return to the essential unity with all that exists, with the living energy (Kawsay Pacha) of the Universe. A very beautiful and powerful ceremony that gives balance to what needs to come in right relation by offering our prayers to the sacred.
