Ceremony Grandfather Wachuma

Trichocereus Pachanoi, is a columnar cactus native to the Andean mountains of Peru, and Ecuador. The ancestral name is Wachuma (Aguacolla).

​

Wachuma has consciousness expanding properties and is often compared to the more popular cactus known as Peyote from the parts of Mexico; both are members of the mescaline family. Mescaline is a psychoactive alkali that occurs naturally in the aforementioned cacti and also other species of Cacti. Shamans and natives have used Wachuma for at least thousands of years. Wachuma is used in The Culture “Chavin de Huantar” in big ceremonial festivities such as de winter solstice 21th of June.

 

Traditional Wachuma ceremonies are typically held outside around a fire. The intense effects of the Wachuma can make you purge out negative energies and things that no longer serve you. Generally, once you purge, you feel a sense of connection to the Earth and all that is around you. You may find yourself in an awake dream state, where it is as if your body is asleep to some extent. This provides you with the opportunity to leave your body and travel to other realms. The effects of Wachuma can last anywhere between 8-15 hours.

 

More recently Wachuma cactus has been used to treat a broad range of physical, mental and emotional disorders, as well as people with addictions such as alcoholism or drug abuse.


The healing power of the Wachuma cactus is really profound, it will work its way around the core of your being where deep emotional patterns are hidden. It moves the stuck energy and help to feel ourselves and to connect to ourselves, where we feel the connection with the nature around us from within.

The ceremonies will be guided by the energy of YANANTIN, sacred feminine and masculine, we have been working with respect, seriousness, and conscience for several years of experience from heart to heart. Our path is a path of praxis in sowing, synchronizing in community and in Tahuantinsuyo in order to live in harmony with the goddess Pachamama our beloved cosmic mother.

This is a transformative time to learn to be in togetherness and sacred prayer of consciousness here and now. This ceremony is based on the heart communion and sacred spiritual and transformative medicines of the Tahua Inti Suyo, including rape'h and other healing techniques from the Moche, Chavin, and Inca cultures.

 

Some requirements for the ceremony:


• empty stomach in the mornings (only a bit of water or tea)
• Bring some fruits, nuts, or other, to share at the end of the ceremony.
• Rain poncho/ warm clothes for later in the afternoon.
• Preparation physical: 3 days no alcohol, drugs, medications, healthy food, no meat, abstain from sexual activity.
• Preparation Mentally: Meditation, Setting Intention,
• Preparation Energetically: NO discussions, TV, intense movies, loud music, lessening judgments.

 

Contemplate on what you would like to heal and release within yourself, present or

past life situations; what energies or experiences to be transmuted into

light; learn to surrender to the medicines, for the plants.

I am you. You are me. We are One.

 

It’s always nice to meet in a round circle like a family we are to share what we like to accomplish or what was our experiences or contributions, we are learning together, we enrich together and we heal together, Aho!
