💕On Sunday, 10 new mesa carriers completed their journey in Path of the Paq’o, and 2 mesa carriers journeyed through the path for a second time.
🏔️Becoming a mesa carrier acquaints one with the Andean cosmovisión. A cosmovisión of interconnectedness, of reciprocity, of communion with not only Spirit (however one may address God), but also Pachamama, the Earth Mother. Mesa carriers are stewards of this beautiful earth. Though this cosmology can not be summed up in a paragraph.
🐍🐆🦅In this journey, one first dives into their own personal transformation. So that one can become a beneficial contribution to the whole. To family, to communities, to the earth. These paq’os shed their woundedness, changed victim stories, greeted fears and revealed shadows. They let go of the old beliefs that kept them living in fear, or resisting life. And then they stepped into vision. Vision that sources from Wholeness, from belonging, from their Source.
🌀In 9 months of personal growth and transformation, strangers became family. Doubt in oneself turned into belief in oneself. Survival mode shifted into a regained spark for life. Seriousness transformed to play. Connection with the land, with nature, became more than just a knowing, it became a relationship. Anger dissolved. The illusion of control was illuminated and shed, as joy for the journey unfolded. Change was no longer feared, but rather embraced. A lightness emanated from each by the end of this class. And so much more.
🥹I am so so proud of each of these beautiful souls. It takes great strength and devotion to strip away the obstacles that keep one locked out of love itself, and align oneself with their true Source, Spirit. Though the journey completed for these paqo’s, it truly has only just begun. 👣
