The Despacho is a ceremony traditional to the Andes
The term Despacho refers to the act of making an offering. It is similar to a "give away". It is a
gift to Mother Earth Pachamama, the Mother star system Hatun Chaska, the Sun Inti and the
Spirits of the Mountains, the APUS- that places us in right relationship and right reciprocity.
It establishes a linkage between our three centers of interaction and the physical Universe; our
personal power, located in the solar plexus, our love, located in the heart chakra and our wisdom,
sourced from our third eye, bindhu chakra and crown chakra.
Despachos are fundamental ceremonies of the Q'eros, which involve an offering of the Mesa, or
medicine bundle. There are over 500 different types of Despachos in the Q'ero lineage.
They are of the primary ways the Q'eros manifest reality.
The ceremonies are an act of creating a mandala-type form, in three levels of consciousness or
the three worlds; with prayer and intention through Kintus, sacred herbs, grains, food, jewels and
other objects, these connect to the Living Energy of All Life.
Despachos are beneficial in aiding an individual's process of healing on the personal, planetary
and universal dimensions. They are a co-creative process with the Paqos and the participants.
Everyone is involved in the co-creation of the Despacho, and families are welcome!
It is an opportunity to become conscious of the acceleration an individual’s process of
manifestation and healing on the personal, planetary and universal dimensions. Whether the
individual is manifesting healing for themselves, or for health of a loved one, or for any "thing",
within the microcosm of the individual, to the macrocosm of the planet’s evolution.
Literally anything can be prayed and intended for, with clear integrity and intent.
The energy body of the person is woven into the Despacho itself and is connected energetically
to all aspects of its representations. Thus, a certain harmonization occurs for the person to be able
to live and experience of the prayer itself in physical form.
