Q'ero Elder, Don Francisco, comes to Fairfield, Iowa. April 30-May 2 This page includes an option for the weekend that is open only to mesa carriers. How to awaken the healer, the wise one, the light being in yourself? How to become a great healer, or teacher? How to develop the presence, the power, the wisdom to step into that role? For apprentice healers and spiritual guides in the Andes, who trained for years to be in service in their communities, the path has included the Great Rites of the Andes, or Hatun Karpays, which have been used for millenia to transmit, activate, and awaken exalted and expanded forms of human potential. You probably know the story of the Munay-Ki rites, and their role in raising consciousness and stewardship to the highest levels. That story continues: with each passing forward of the rites, with each fire ceremony, their energy grows not just in each of us, but in the collective as well. Among those indigenous leaders who, in 2006, came together to present these rites as the Munay-Ki to all well-meaning peoples, was the Q'ero nation elder, Don Francisco Chura Flores. We are delighted that Don Francisco will join us in Fairfield, Iowa, from April 30 through May 2, 2010, as we come together to deepen our experience and understanding of the Great Rites. And we cordially invite you to join us! Program: We'll be sitting together on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On each of those days, Don Francisco will visit with us to share his wisdom, and over the course of the three days he will give mesa carriers the five transformational rites, starting with the Pampa Mesayok rite and culminating with the Taitanchis (Creator) Rite. In the course of our time together, we'll be looking deeply into the way the rites are given, including
Despacho Ceremony: Don Francisco is also a master of the despacho, the traditional ceremonial means of connecting with the forces of Nature for an individual's, or group's specific needs. While in Iowa, he will be available for personal despacho ceremonies. As the Munay-Ki rites, transmitted on the energetic level, awaken and empower our greatest potentials, so the despacho awakens and empowers, for the individual and the collective, our right relation with the forces of Nature. We'll also participate, with members of the local ayllu, in a community despacho and fire ceremony on Saturday evening. Location: 1307 S.
