Plant medicine has been central to Q’ero and broader Andean practice for millennia. Academy KawsayPacha provides teachings and ceremonies based on sacred plant work, ritual song, and energetic transmission that align with this lineage.
Sacred Plants and Their Role
Plants like coca, muña, and other Andes-specific botanicals have been used as offerings, diagnostic tools, energy cleansers, and for connection with higher realms. They are understood not as substances only, but alive, with spirit and intelligence.
Rituals with Plants
- Use of plants in cleansing, incense, baths.
- Offerings to Pachamama with medicinal plants.
- Listening and connection: learning plant dialects (how plants communicate, teach).
- Song, icaros, prayer to invoke harmony and healing through the botanical spirits.
Safety, Respect, and Ethical Usage
Academy KawsayPacha emphasizes that sacred plant practices must be done with lineage, respect, formulation of intention, ethical sourcing. There is no experimentation without guidance.
