An all day immersive workshop to learn the ways of the ancient path of the Aymara, "AYMARÁ THAKY”.
You will learn important ceremonies that teach you how to connect to the spirits within nature, be it the Pachamama, Apus, the elements, or your own sacred space. She will share her knowledge of the Seven Temples, that are the steps for self-healing, so we can learn and experience this ancient art of healing oneself.
Silvia will also teach you how to build and use a Family Mesa. The Family Mesa is a living altar for all your kin. It consists of stones that are a representation of you, your family and other important relationships in your life, as well as, your work, life direction, prosperity, and overall wellbeing. This mesa is a powerful tool and can be used to benefit your family, and to strengthen and help you stay focused on your life path.
We will finish the day with water ceremony. 💧
Silvia Calisaya Chuquimia aka Mama Coco is a traditional Aymara spiritual healer, teacher, and direct descendant of the pre-Incan people who still inhabit the southern Lake Titicaca region.
Silvia was born and raised in a small highland village. She left when she was a young woman to pursue her education and professional life, but later returned to the traditional spiritual teachings of her people. She is an expert in the ancient art of reading coca leaves for divination and healing and is the proprietor of the Coca Leaf Museum in Puno, Peru. Coca is a sacred plant for the inhabitants of the Andes, which is still held in veneration among the indigenous and mestizo people of South America.
“My grandmother was my first university; she was a healer and midwife . . . I started learning many things from her, as well as the coca reading. I tried to seek about the origin of the coca leaves, and why people are still using them. Doing this, I found the life philosophy of the Aymaras still living in this part of the world and follow the traditional healing."
Silvia comes to share the philosophy, teachings, and traditions of the Aymara, as well as the history of the ancient people still living in PERU.
Silvia has traveled globally for the last 20 years to share these teachings- Canada, Holland, Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Spain, Sweden, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Argentina, Brazil, Australia and now the United States.
