Personalized Despacho Ceremonies For Health, Abundance, and New Life

December 7, 2012 · Lucius Wheeler


In celebration of the cleansing rains of Spring, and as a new development in our work in the world, Lisa and I are now offering personalized despacho ceremonies here in Bend. Despachos are Peruvian prayer bundles, artistically assembled from a variety of colorful ingredients, filled with prayers and intentions, and offered to the Earth, most often in a sacred fire. They are an ancient ceremonial form, and are quite common through out the Andes region of South America.

Acts of Love, Bundles of Manifestation

Despachos are expressions of love and powerful ways of manifesting healing in our lives. They can be created for a number of different intentions: personal health, home clearing, energetic protection, success in business, guidance during life transitions, relationship assistance, and more. In Peru, there are over 300 kinds of despachos!

Make it yours!
Lisa and I, after much practice and refinement, have now begun to offer these despacho ceremonies in a personalized form. After hearing your desires and intentions, we will determine a form of despacho which will be most appropriate. Together, in sacred space, we will create a despacho ceremony which will give your prayers tangible expression. You will participate in this beautiful act of creation, and will learn ceremonial forms and skills that you can use to create more ceremonies of your own in the future. By calling upon assistance from the unseen realms of Nature and the Spirit World, the prayers contained within your despacho will be amplified and supported. After the completion of our time together, Lisa and I will burn your despacho in a sacred fire to release the energy of the bundle and send your intentions out to all corners of the Universe.

For you and your friends
Despachos can be performed for individuals, families, couples, or small groups. We are available to work with any group size, small to large.

Cuti Despacho Special!
As a powerful introduction to despachos, for the month of June we will be focusing on Cuti Depachos, which “set right” misaligned energies, and protect us from any harmful energies we may have taken on from other people, from our past, or from our environment. Cuti Despachos are assembled quickly – a typical session last 45 minutes – and are designed to ‘unwind’ and release that which we are ready to let go of. These despachos have the effect of bringing up our ‘stuff’ so that it can be witnessed and healed. If you are ready to create some movement in your personal journey, and to clear out old energies from inside and around you, a Cuti despacho is the perfect choice. We would love to share this potent ceremony with you and introduce you to the world of despachos.

Donation-based
All of our despachos are offered on a suggested donation basis. We suggest a gift of $50 to $80, which covers materials and helps to sustain Lisa and I in this work. We are open to other forms of meaningful energetic exchange as well. Give us a call or reply to this email to explore the options!

Support for your healing
Please let us know what healing you would like to call into your life. We would love to help ‘clear the way’ for your most beautiful, joyful, loving, and aligned life to manifest.

In Sacred Community,

Lucius and Lisa

Fires of Change: The Spirit Warrior Immersions

November 19, 2012 · Lucius Wheeler

Something extreme must occur in order to deepen one’s connection to life, warmth, and beauty. Each youth looks for that extreme occurrence and will drive horses and cars full of horsepower as fast as possible to break through to that place. They will explore the depths of the earth and fall into great depressions in order to enter that cave. They will climb trees, mountains, and break sound and light barriers in order to touch one feather of the firebird in its flight. They will fall disastrously into the depths of love and lose all contact with the everyday world in order to feel the darkness that can only be lit by their fire.
… Youths attempt to get beyond the limits of their own family and childhood and to overcome the inertia that stands like a wall at the border between boy and man. … [The young male] is driven to seek an outer experience that will match his inner heat and turmoil. If he doesn’t get connected to the mysteries, to the warmth and beauty at the heart of the culture, he may burn with rage and injustice, or turn cold with resentment and depression.

-Michael Meade, Men and the Water of Life

The Spirit Warrior Immersions help boys at the brink of manhood to step into the inner fire that draws them in and drives them on. In communion with the mysteries, youth find the soul-nurturing that they have been seeking, and are given tools to sustain them through the flames of their life. We have found over and over that our participants will dive right into those inner flames when the chance allows. As mentors and guides, we only need to create the opportunity, and show them the door.

Join us in December in Terrebonne, Oregon, for our Father-Son Sweatlodge, December 9th from 10am to 5pm. Our focus for the day will be healing and strengthening the bond between father and son as we help each to find their place in the greater community of Men. Visit Spirit Warrior Teen Circles for more details.

Summertime Travels in Peru

June 28, 2012 · Lucius Wheeler

                                                      On the road to the Sacred Valley, outside Cuzco, Peru. Summer 2010.

As the summer arrives here in Central Oregon, we are just beginning to pack and prepare for our annual trip to Peru. Lisa and I will be traveling in the Amazon jungle and the highlands, studying with traditional curanderos and other medicine people of each region. We will be deepening our knowledge and experience with plant medicines, ceremonies, healing techniques and traditions, as well as trekking through the landscape and learning directly from the vibrant natural landscape of this beautiful country.

We will begin with the Song of the Amazon journey, immersing into the plant medicine traditions of the jungle, then move on to the Cuzco area of the Andes highlands, where we will visit many sacred sites and study alongside the Q’ero people of the high mountains. I am looking forward to bringing back lots of new experience, training, and knowledge to share!

Classes, despachos, and other ceremonies – both in Bend and in our new home in Ashland, Oregon – will resume in the Fall.

Enjoy your summer. May all your journeys be blessed.

Lucius

Spirit Warrior Teen Circles

June 9, 2012 · Lucius Wheeler

A Spirit Warrior is one who listens deeply to the call of his own authentic nature. He honors the earth, he honors his community, and he honors the sacred purpose of his own life. Join Spirit Warrior Teen Circles in an exploration of what it means to be a man in the world today.

Image

Spirit Warrior Teen Circles is a nature-based mentoring program based in the High Desert of Central Oregon, and in the Siskiyou Mountains near Ashland. We offer mentoring and guidance for teenage boys, age 13 to 19, with a curriculum that emphasizes authenticity, spiritual growth, and connection to the natural world. Our full-day immersions and weekend adventures take teens out to beautiful and unique places in the natural environment, where group and individual experiences give participants the skills and the space to hear the call of their own true selves.

New this year, adventures will be held in both Central Oregon and the Siskiyou Mountains in Southern Oregon!  For more information, visit Spirit Warrior Teen Circles.

We hope you can join us!

Two Despacho Ceremonies in Bend This Week

May 21, 2012 · Lucius Wheeler

You are invited to join Lisa Hendrick and Lucius Wheeler for a special evening of sacred ceremony this Thursday, May 24th, in Bend. We will be sharing two potent despacho ceremonies from Peru: one for Liberation and Protection, and the other for Integration and Wholeness. Despachos – literally, “dispatches” – are colorful offering bundles, filled with our tangible prayers, offered to Pachamama (Mother Earth) and all the spirits of the natural world. Despachos are creative acts of love which link us to the entire Universe, and help us to remember our place in the cosmos. In these times of great global and personal change, despacho ceremonies can help facilitate transition, and move us gracefully through our collective and personal transformation.

Join us this Thursday evening as we do our part to assist the Great Turning of our time: Affirm the release of the old, limiting roles and beliefs that have kept us small; Manifest and re-member the expansive, radiant Wholeness that is our birthright and our true essence. We look forward to sharing this special evening of ceremony with you!

                                          We hope you can join us!

Join the Global Vigil Fire ~ September 18 – 23rd, 2012

April 13, 2012 · Lucius Wheeler

From Sacred Pathways:

“2012 had brought beauty to the Gathering, with the lovely and powerful gifts of Stonehenge, including the presence of a Crop Circle that arrived the same day we did; and the miracle of sunshine for the three days of Global Vigil Fire – during the rainiest April in 100 years!  We felt “known”.  Known within the relationship of nature and the universe as we breathed together, and visioned for the Earth. …  Now we look towards the Fall Equinox, continuing to step bravely into the energy of ever deeper medicine.  Co-creating together once again, and continuing to breath new life into the momentum of our times.”

You can participate in this sacred Gathering from afar! At the heart of the Gathering is the Global Vigil Fire, from September 18th to September 23rd. Our sacred fire will be tended around the clock by pairs of fire tenders, who will share ceremonies, prayers, music, song, and other heartfelt offerings during their two hour shifts. Our Vigil Fire is “Global” because it will be undertaken in solidarity with hundreds of other fires around the world. This is where you come in …

You are invited to join in this celebration of sacred global community by lighting your own Vigil Fire during the Gathering of Shaman, anytime from the 20th to the 22nd. This can be as simple as a candle, or as elaborate as a tended fire in your backyard. Your Vigil Fire can last a few hours, or a few days ~ any sign of solidarity will reinforce the energetic power of our global network of prayer. This is a powerful opportunity for manifestation: In this global web of fires, we will all be connected as we offer our prayers and healing intentions for the earth, for our global human family, and for all living beings. Your prayers can be for peace, for health, for love, for abundance, for the resolution of conflict, for transformation…. and for anything else that your heart truly desires. The portals between the worlds will truly be open, and I believe that we all have an opportunity to do some really powerful healing and manifestation during this weekend of worldwide ceremony and celebration.

I hope that you’ll join us for the Global Vigil Fire. If you decide to participate, please visit www.sacredpathways.us and add your fire to the global map!
