Ritual Cosmos: Creating your own Sacred Space and Mesa (Shamanic Altar)

We are living through “interesting”, topsy-turvy times, aren’t we? We are swimming in challenging cultural patterns and earth changes, and it’s intense and can be hard for many of us. There is a collective feeling of disconnect and separation from who we are, from the earth, from the stars, from nature. This apprenticeship is about cultivating a container that can hold you and all of your experiences within an aligned and supported wholeness. It is a re-membering of who we are and our deep connectivity to all that is. This is a medicine for our times.

The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition is a Peruvian-based, cross-cultural, living Shamanic tradition. “Pachakuti” means “world reversal” and refers to the time of transformation we are living in now. A mesa is an altar for self-exploration, reconnection, transformation, and personal growth in which we create a new paradigm of one’s relation to the Self and the Universe. This tradition, in all its richness, is an evolving practice of inner and outer activities that restore balance and harmony to our relationships with All That Is.

In the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, we interact and build relationships with these unseen realms through the creation of sacred space and a specific type of medicine ground, altar or mesa called the Pachakuti Mesa. This sacred patterning of elemental expressions becomes the seat of spiritual vision and the game board for interacting with all of creation.

This hands-on workshop will serve to ground you in a lineage-sourced altar practice and is a prerequisite to participate in Amy’s upcoming year-long apprenticeship if you do not already have a mesa. Creating and activating your Pachakuti Mesa will support you in coming into right relationship with our world.

Through this powerful process, we will also explore::

• The Lineage of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition
• The 5 directions and how each represents an aspect of self.
• The 3 worlds are found cross-culturally in most shamanic traditions.
• This workshop is for anyone, from any background and tradition, who is interested in developing a deeper relationship within and without.
