Despacho Ceremony

Come to us or we can come to you  

Despachos, or prayer bundles, provide a space to focus your intention for manifesting or releasing things. This is followed by a process of honouring and gratitude, which then shifts the energy in your life and brings in the opportunities behind the original intention.

It’s a powerful, beautiful, playful and dynamic process. Despachos have been called making a prayer visible.

A Despacho involves flowers, seeds, feathers, leaves, candies and chocolate which are placed in layers onto a sheet of paper that becomes the envelope for your prayer or intention.

Despachos can be done for individuals, groups, and places. They are a wonderful group activity and create a sense of community. We have done Despachos for families, businesses, new houses, relationships, birthdays, bridal showers, births, deaths, and to honour Mother Earth.

  • Scheduling / Cost  

    Individual Despachos are $175 CDN. Private group cost will vary depending on the type of Despacho, materials used, travel time (if any) and number of participants. Please contact us for details.

    For community Despachos, please look on the Community Events page for upcoming date/times. We appreciate a contribution for community Despachos to cover costs.

What to Expect

Types of Despachos

The power of directed thought and creativity is very effective in manifesting your thoughts into reality. Making prayer bundles in this way is a tradition from the Andes region in South America. There are several kinds of Despachos, depending on the intention:

  • An Ayni Despacho brings your life into balance. This is the most common kind of Despacho. It is a beautiful mandala that you create to celebrate beginnings: a change in your life, a new house, business, marriage or relationship, or a birth.

  • A Chaska (Star) Despacho is a specific kind of Ayni Despacho. This manifests a rebalancing of the world, from the local to the global, after a natural or human-made disaster.

  • An Aya Despacho is done in times of transition or endings. It can be made when you are ending a relationship, a job, when you feel you are leaving behind an old life, and stepping into a new way of being. This may occur after experiencing a serious illness. An Aya Despacho is also a beautiful ceremony to have after the death of a loved one. This Despacho involves seven separate layers, each representing a different aspect of life.

After making the Despacho it is placed ceremonial fire and burned. This is an important part of the ceremony, as fire is used to release these prayers to spirit.
