Estacada, Oregon 

 Sep 29,30 Oct 6,7,13,14. 2012

Modern day Andean Shamans talk about the INKARI prophecy which means to be “reborn”.  The Inca religion disappeared after the arrival of the Spanish.  Many of the sacred practices and ceremonies had only been used by the Nobility and thus disappeared.  The INKARI prophecy symbolizes the rebirth of our culture and corresponds with the rediscovery of the ancient Inca technique and the Age of Aquarius in 2012, an age of awakening and change.

By participating in an Etnika’s ancient ceremony, you are accessing a wide range of traditional Andean knowledge and practices for personal healing and growth.  Etnika’s provides a grounded and secure environment from which to realize the true power of this Ancient Technique.

Our experience is based on the revival of ancient Quechua values and practices of forgiveness and gratitude, which you will find infused into a number of the rituals that take place within our Andean and Amazonian ceremonies.

ORACLE GROUP READING CEREMONY

In this ceremony our Masters will use the oracles to converse with God and Pachamama.  Upon the asking of a question, God & Pachamama responds through the oracles and the answers are interpreted by the Shaman.   The oracles we use are Coca Leaves, Sacred Fire, Runes, Sea Shells, Stones, Seeds and others.  Each shaman works with their own designated oracle.

This ceremony will perform to unify the participants with heaven and earth.

CLEANSING CEREMONY

This Andean cleansing and flourishing ceremony is to remove negative energies and blocks which have accumulated from various sources over time.  By freeing stuck or blocked paths, it allows us to expand our hearts in love, forgiveness, and everything important in our lives.  It opens the way for us to be our true selves.  It also serves to prepare us to enter the Amazonian ceremony with purity of mind and spirit.

OFFERING TO PACHAMAMA OR MOTHER EARTH

This offering is the most important of all.  When this ceremony is performed, we unify our life with Mother Earth, God and the Universal Order.  We put order into all aspects of our life whether physical, mental, emotional, spiritual or material.  By doing so, we can obtain a high level of vitality, courage, wisdom and passion.
