Andean Offerings, the art of sharing beauty

In the Andes, a festive, colorful ritual full of beauty and depth is still practiced: offerings or despachos. In Quechua, we say Haywarikuy, an invitation to offer an open heart and recover the forgotten language of the sacredness of life. Each offering, like ephemeral poetry, is a way of showing fragility and humility, and giving ourselves in gratitude, devotion, and longing.

During this experience, we will learn the ancient gesture of offerings, what they are used for, what happens in our conscious and unconscious minds, how our subtle body reacts and connects with the luminous world, and finally, how to make the ritual of offering part of our daily lives, a reciprocal language with life.
