Alchemy of the Altar: Foundations
Journey into the sacred medicine of the Mesa
Alchemy of the Altar: Foundations guides you to create a personal medicine altar that supports integration and becomes a source of grounding and alignment with your highest values, intentions, beliefs. You will also learn how to work with specific earth energies and call in allies for your walk in daily life. Through life’s journey a Mesa becomes: an anchor, holding our highest intentions and prayers; a place and a way to connect with the sacred and the sacredness of day-to-day life; a language of signs and symbols, holding and communicating with our creative essence; a mirror of our values at any given time and a representation of our spiritual body; a place of connection and reverence; and a source of power.
As initiates of the 7-Rays lineage in Chinchero Peru, as ongoing students of Puma and as Teaching Assistants for Puma, these practises with the altar come from our direct experiences and what we have embodied on this path. As Puma will share, The mesa is like your external battery. It is the heart outside of your heart. You don’t need to take on the heaviness of the world. You can process it through the mesa. Working with our Mesa is a process of creation in which we are consciously attending to our garden – sowing the seeds, nourishing growth, pulling out the weeds. From a Western lens, the altar can also be viewed as a valuable tool for self-growth bringing forth practises of Mindset and Neuro Linguistical Programming (NLP). There are many universal themes present in these sharings and the framework of both the mesa and altar are inclusive of all backgrounds and spiritual or non-spiritual persuasions.
