The Fearless one who will mulch all that is into what will be.
She walks in beauty and will help us travel impeccably between worlds.
We honor her skill and grace in the ways of change.

Opening Sacred Space
This is one of many ways to connect with the sacred nature of the universe. Within sacred space intention is magnified.
As you speak face each direction with intention as you name it. You may use a rattle, spirit water or raised hand and use the words below, or let the poetry come from you. This version is from Alberto Villoldo. My poetry changes each time.
the poetry FOR CREATING SACRED SPACE
To the winds of the South
Great serpent, Wrap your coils of light around us,
Teach us to shed the past the way you shed your skin,
To walk softly on the Earth. Teach us the Beauty Way.
To the winds of the West
Mother jaguar,
Protect our medicine space.
Teach us the way of peace, to live impeccably
Show us the way beyond death.
To the winds of the North.
Hummingbird, Grandmothers and Grandfathers,
Ancient Ones
Come and warm your hands by our fires
Whisper to us in the wind
We honor you who have come before us,
And you who will come after us, our children’s children.
To the winds of the East.
Great eagle, condor
Come to us from the place of the rising Sun.
Keep us under your wing.
Show us the mountains we only dare to dream of.
Teach us to fly wing to wing with the Great Spirit.
Mother Earth.
We’ve gathered for the healing of all your children.
The Stone People, the Plant People.
The four–legged, the two–legged, the creepy crawlers.
The finned, the furred, and the winged ones.
All our relations.
Father Sun, Grandmother Moon, to the Star nations.
Great Spirit, you who are known by a thousand names
And you who are the unnamable One.
Thank you for bringing us together.

A night to celebrate the living energy of the universe.
Please come participate in a Despacho, an Andean ceremony of gratitude and love that celebrates our connection we share with all things. In this ceremony we fill a gift with prayers that we offer to Pachamama (mother earth). Everyday objects will take on symbolic form. The leaves of our trees will hold our prayers. Our foods and papers will take on symbolic meanings. A special focus will be honoring the land that we stand on every day. We will open our eyes and hearts to the sacred nature of the urban landscape. We will welcome transformation and healing for ourselves, our communities, and the planet. After the bundle is complete the prayers will be sent through fire, water or earth.
May Eighth, 2011 Heartbeat Collective Jamaica Plain.
We will begin at 7pm with meditation and teachings.
7:30 the despacho ceremony will begin.
We will move out doors to make the offering around 8:30. please dress for the weather. Bring rattles.
The ceremony will end around 9:30.
$10 donation for the space, and materials will be gratefully accepted. Everyone welcome regardless of funds.
What seems most true is that I began this work before I began. And then awhile after that, in 1996, I came to Boston from California to study art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. As I have come to understand art more deeply, I see how the practices of the artist overlap the practices of the visionary and healer in society. When I began my work with the Four Winds Society in the fall of 2009 I found something that spoke to me very deeply. I found the people, the wisdom, and the practices that led me to myself in a sweet and powerful way. Stepping into wisdom, beauty, and power, I see a world of exquisite potential. I am so grateful to be in Boston sharing the sacred in an urban setting. It is my great joy to share the sweetness of these practices on this beautiful land. I see us living in a world of empowered dreamers motivated by love. We all start with ourselves. What we give to ourselves we give to the world.
