“CEREMONY OF OFFERING TO THE EARTH”

“OFRENDA A LA PACHAMAMA”

PLACE : THE POINT HOSTELS

TIME  : 8:00 P.M.

This Inca ritual, which many Andean communities still continue, consists of offering gifts to mother earth in thanks for all that she provides for the people and animals. Favors are asked of the earth and through the provision of gifts Ayni (retribution) is produced where by the earth returns the favors by providing all that the people need. Everything needs to be in harmony, if anything bad happens it is because the harmony has been broken, most importantly in the spiritual sense. To rebalance the harmony help from the Apus or mother earth is needed who were once living with necessities such as hunger and thirst and so these offerings are needed.
