For those of you that missed it Good Friday, the reflection of the masculine physical sacrifice was on the same day as the celebration/reflection of mother earth - Earth Day.

The music, song, dance and ceremony were exceptional!

AYNI PUKARA - an Ancient ceremony based in the Ayni. Ayni means the reciprocity of giving and receiving. Giving and receiving is a transcendental action with Pachamama which is the source our lives. Pachamama provides us with food to eat, water to drink, air to breathe and fire to live. Our ancestors taught us to always give back to the land what comes from the land.

From their website:

The Hanaq Pachama [Father Universe] Kay Pacha [Mother earth] - this dimension Uju Pacha or [Spirit] world - inner world, these are the three worlds in the Incan cosmology.

In the healing process we work with these three levels. Deep in the jungle our medicine people are still using the power of certain elements to help you to see what you can't see, to help you understand the meaning of your life.

Kuntur Condor Puma and the Amaru are our power symbols.

Kuntur [Condor] represents wisdom Puma represents strength power Amaru [Serpent] represents knowledge

Everything in nature is sacred to us. Our older brothers - Animals - are our teachers and our source of life, all of them are very important in our spiritual life. Nowadays people are just rediscovering the healing powers of dolphins, dogs, cats, frogs and others. The ancient cultures have been in connection with God through Gods creation...Pachamama - Mother earth - and all living creatures in it.

Mother Earth is a living cell in the universe which embodies God - Pachakamaq. n the Ancient times our Ancestors used to perform ceremonies for Mother Earth giving to it the most precious gift. Human beings were offered as precious gifts for Pachamama, together with gold, silver, precious stones, sacred seeds and plants that Pachamama gives to us.
