Talk

In the whisper of the wind and the murmur of the earth, the four Raymis raise their ancestral song:
“Pawkar Raymi, golden seed that awakens the corn;
Inti Raymi, solar flame that nourishes the longest days;
Kulla Raymi, fertile moon that dances with autumn;
Kapak Raymi, a frozen bud that announces a new rebirth.”
Immerse yourself in each celebration like a river of stars and roots, where the cosmic and earthly pulses intertwine. Through vivid stories, sacred symbols, and simple practices, you will connect with the heartbeat of the universe and learn to attune your own rhythm to the great cycle of Pachamama.
