Group Ceremonies with Berna
Chumpi Ceremony
Chumpi Phuytu
During this healing ceremony a Chumpi- a traditional hand woven belt from the Andes region- is the tool for healing. The weaving of the Chumpi belt is considered a sacred act- often involving prayers, offerings and a deep connection with Pachama.
Dona Berna uses the Chumpi belt to cleanse imbalances, work with the energy centers and facilitate healing.
Following the ceremony participants keep their Chumpi Belt. The belt symbolizes and embodies living energy, acting as a protective field around the wearer and connecting them to the earth. The belt can be worn to protect the wearer, to assist in grounding, helping individuals feel more centered, present and connected to their physical bodies and the earth. Chumpis are used at times to physically support the body, the lower back particularly and can be helpful for menstrual cramps and menstruation.
Munay Karpay
In the Quecha language Munay- Means Love and Karpay refers to an initiation or a transmission of energy from a Shaman to a student.
This particular initiation specifically focuses on opening the heart to deeper connections, cultivating deeper love and compassion- reawakening what is within you. Berna uses special stones that she has gathered from the Apus (Mountains). This ritual connects one to the energies of the sun, the mountains, and Mother Earth ( Pachamama)
Despacho Ceremony
A Despacho ceremony is a traditional Andean practice of making offerings to the mountains, Mother Earth, and other spirits of nature as a symbol of gratitude, reciprocity and reverence.
A Despacho is an act of love and a reminder of the connections we share with all beings, elements, spirits, and sacred places.
At the deepest level, it is an opportunity to enter into the essential unity of all things, the living energy of the universe. Despachos offer us a vehicle for moving and shifting the energy of a group, the world, and the cosmos.
The ceremony offers various symbolic representations, including fruits of the earth, sweets, representations of the sea, and the stars to create access to portals or bridges from the ordinary and non-ordinary worlds. A despacho is a gift that bridges the ordinary and non-ordinary realms and establishes new patterns of relationship and possibility.
Celebrate Life! A Despacho is created during a celebratory ceremony. In the cosmology of the Andes, all life is perceived as one grand, infinite ceremony. Because physical survival is so hard in the high mountains, life is experienced as a true gift to be lived, not a problem to be solved.
