Join us for a very special OneSong Service as we celebrate the coming Spring Equinox with a special South American ritual called Despacho.

Special guest Shari Parslow, a shamanic healing practitioner, will lead us in this traditional Andean Ceremony.

The despacho is a sacred Andean ceremony. It is a prayer bundle, lovingly created in a medicine ceremony to bring harmonic balance with the Earth, and to honor rites of passage and healing. The despacho is essentially an expression of gratitude, to bring “right balance.”

The bundle will be comprised of symbolic content from the natural world (seeds, flowers, leaves) imbued with the prayers of each participant. As the ceremony progresses these will be arranged like a mandala ,with deep intent as the vibration of the circle is raised in a co-creative act of beauty. It is a prayer in motion that creates opportunity for energetic shifts and healing. Wrapped with reverence, the despacho will be offered up as a gift of gratitude into a sacred fire celebrating the upcoming Spring Equinox.

Shari is also an accomplished vocalist and will grace us with her singing voice as well.
We are also joined by frequent guest musician Elizabeth Woodbury Kasius.
