Awakening the Ñustas: Embodying Feminine Wisdom
Awakening the Ñustas: Embodying Feminine Wisdom
Join us for a new sacred online gathering guided by our Andean paqo teachers, Victor Chura Quispe and Celia Samata Apaza, as we explore the feminine energies known as the ñustas within the Andean wisdom tradition. Together we will open the doorway into these powerful archetypes, learn how to connect with them, integrate daily rituals, and complete our journey with a closing ceremony to honor and seal the teachings.
Weekly Sessions:
Week #1: Tuesday, November 25; 6:00 pm EST
Meet the Seven Ñustas: Explore who the ñustas are, their origins in the Andean cosmology, and how their unique qualities move through both the natural world and our own inner landscapes. Celia will call in their healing waters and wisdom to cleanse the heart and awaken our divine feminine energies.
Week #2: Tuesday, December 2; 6:00 pm EST
Cultivating Connection: Learn simple and meaningful ways to connect with the ñustas through nature, prayer, and personal ritual. Deepen your capacity to sense their presence and guidance in everyday life. Receive grounding practices and devotional rituals to bring the wisdom of the ñustas into your home, heart, and healing work.
Week #3: Tuesday, December 9; 6:00 pm EST
The Ñusta Mesa, Honoring the Living Altars of the Feminine: In this session, Celia will share the sacred teachings of the ñusta mesa, a living altar and path of devotion to Pachamama. You will learn how to tend to the mesa as a way to deepen your relationship with the ñustas and Pachamama. Together we will explore gentle practices and a sacred song to support your connection with these feminine forces of nature.
Week #4: Tuesday, December 16; 6:00 pm EST
Ofrenda ceremony for our journey onward. We will gather in ceremony to honor the seven ñustas, integrate the teachings, and close our shared circle in gratitude and reverence.
This series is for anyone who feels called to walk in deeper relationship with the feminine forces of nature and the living wisdom of the Andes. Whether you are a healer, ceremonial practitioner, or simply seeking a grounded spiritual connection, these teachings invite you into a more intimate dialogue with the Earth and the sacred feminine within.
