Grandfather Night Time Ceremony: Hosted by Renato Guerrero, Sat 25th May. 7pm

Dear Aho family, we are honoured to invite you to a beautiful Wachuma - San Pedro ceremony at night at the altar of the 4 Tobaccos.

In this traditional nighttime ceremony, we are blessed to travel the Medicine Wheel, honoring the four directions to receive medicine from the four elements.

In a traditional Grandfather - Four Tobacco ceremony, a sacred space is opened where one can enter into a relationship with the great mystery. It has rhythms that move through different hours of power of the night where we raise our prayers.

From there we will raise our voices, our intentions so that they are nested in the general purpose of this ceremony: “Connect from the spirit, from the sacred fire of the heart, to look at our path, our life, our greatest purpose and our best version from the greatest perspective.”

The work will begin with a purification sweat lodge and then move on to the altar of the 4 tobaccos and the Wachuma ceremony at night. It is not a requirement to be part of the temazcal during the day, 12-5pm, but it is absolutely recommended to be part of the complete experience for your greatest benefit. To also book the sweat lodge and your taking part in the Ceremony we offer a reduced price of £50 using the code LOW INCOME MAY on Aho Website.

The first tobacco, we invoke the presence of Air, the sacred wind, we pray the Tobacco of Purpose, to express the main intention and purpose of the ceremony.

Once we have introduced ourselves and expressed ourselves, we take the sacrament of Wachuma medicine.

In the second tobacco, we point to the heart, praying the Water Tobacco, to the great spirit of Water, giver of life. We receive the blessing of the sacred liquid in some way, we can drink from it, sing to the water, receive the blessing from it.

Water gives us continuity and in this way we can continue to deepen and pray in the third direction, the Tobacco of Power, the Tobacco of Fire, we honor the power of the Great Spirit of Fire. In this way we return to the center, to the purpose we are honoring, with the vibration of Medicine.

In the fourth movement we pray the Tobacco of Mother Earth, to thank and receive the blessing of the Sacred Foods.

In this way, giving thanks for the sacred sequence of life, in this powerful ceremony we can travel through the Great Mystery, opening the four directions, receiving the blessings and gifts they bring with them.
 
We close the ceremony, share the sacred foods and our experiences in a circle of integration.

Grandfather (Wachuma) is an Andean cactus used for generations to bring heaven to earth, that is, to generate awareness. It leads us to connect directly with our own divinity.Wachuma is a sacred cactus native to the Andean mountains. It has been used for over 4,000 years to heal and expand consciousness and administered in a ceremonial context, it provides profound healing and offers a transformative experience.Wachuma is a tool for meditation and self-awareness, which helps to cleanse wounds from the past and allows for a more heart-centered way of being. It can bring limiting thoughts and beliefs to the surface of consciousness; what no longer serves our highest good has a chance to be released.
 
Through the purification and balance of the body, mind and spirit, it facilitates the expansion of consciousness and gives rise to a greater lightness in our life experience. Freeing ourselves from our limitations helps us feel a greater sense of well-being, love and affinity for others, and a deeper connection to Mother Earth and the Universe within and without.It is ideal to connect with the heart and get out of limiting thoughts. It helps us to recognize our own limitations and increases the capacity to feel an awareness of love.
