Pacha Kids Program 2019
I am excited to expand the Pacha Kids Program this year! Each session is a stand-alone experience including ceremony, breath, movement, meditation, games, and art. Children will learn tools to deepen connection, navigate inner and outer landscapes, and dream their world into being. Teachings are steeped in the Mesa Carrier tradition of the Q’ero from Peru with North American indigenous messages and yogic tools woven in. I look forward to sharing this medicine with you and showing our children how to create ayni, or right relationship, in their world.

Cost: $30/class

A Visit to Pachamama
Sunday 3/3 11:00 a.m.
On this original journey to meet Pachamama, children will be introduced to the consciousness of creation and deepen their connection to the natural world. The story introduces concepts from the indigenous Q’ero tradition and the Quechua language, which survive to this day in the Andes mountains. Participants will receive a sacred rite from the Q’ero tradition to connect them with Pachamama’s animal allies which bring tools and teachings they can apply to every day life.
Spring-Plant
Sunday 3/3 11:00 a.m.
With the transition to spring, it’s time for clearing and preparing to plant new seeds for growth! We will explore and reflect upon the
cycles of nature such as the ebb and flow of the tide and that of the breath. Through ceremony, we will release heavy energy (hoocha) and mindfully choose the seeds we want to plant and manifest.
Brother Eagle, Sister Sky
Sunday 5/5 11:00 a.m.
Activities are based on the story Brother Eagle, Sister Sky, a message from Chief Seattle. We will explore our connection to the earth and all of creation. We will align with Eagle and Condor through art and writing to expand our perspective by taking a “brid’s eye view”. In playing with dark and light, children learn that by embracing our shadows, there are gifts to be honored.
Stepping In (teens)
Sunday 5/5 1 p.m.-3p.m.
Throughout the world in many traditions, children participate in coming of age ceremonies. In this session, teens will reflect upon their life with meditation and writing, and through ceremony work energetically to bring it into balance. They will then mark this transition with a traditional Q’ero rite, aligning them more deeply and connecting them energetically to the creative forces that will support them as they continue on their path to adulthood.
Summer-Shine
Sunday 6/23 11:00 a.m.
With the summer solstice upon us, we celebrate our life giving sun! Activities will focus on symbols, patterns, and energy that Inti (the sun) gives us. They will learn a breathing technique to beat the heat and bring things into balance through ceremony by creating a despacho or prayer bundle.
Fall-Harvest
Sunday 9/22 11:00 a.m.
It’s time to let go of the efforts and things that no longer serve and receive with gratitude. We will align with our animal allies and explore how nature let’s go of the “old”…like how the snake that sheds its skin in one whole piece! Then, we will embrace and celebrate the gifts we have received.
Giving Thanks
Sunday 11/10 11:00 a.m.
Incorporating the message from the Six Nations, we will honor mother earth and all her creations. Gratitude is an essential part of maintaining ayni or right relationship. In our ceremony, we will give back to Pachamama.
Winter-Celebrate
Sunday 12/8 11:00 a.m.
A celebration of the internal spark of creation and wisdom that resides in each of us! Activities will explore intuition, connection to source, and allow each child to unveil their unique spark and gift.
