𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐢 𝐑𝐚𝐲𝐦𝐢 / 𝐖𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐮
- a winter solstice celebration

With roots thousands of years old, it represents the rebirth of the Sun, an opportunity for a new beginning for all life forms. That is why it still is the most sacred ceremony of the Mapuche, Aymara, Quechua, and other ethnic groups from the Andes.

For our winter solstice celebration, we have invited 𝐇𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐡 𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐤𝐚 () to share an opening ceremony (ofrendita) directly from Bolivia via Geelong to pay our respects to our ancestors and the custodians of the land in which we celebrate. To welcome the new Sun.

𝐇𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐡 𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐤𝐚 (bio)

Is an Aymara descendant of the Inka Solar Culture of Kollasuyo. Bolivian Mother, Medicine women, visual artist Poet, singer-songwriter.

She lived her childhood with her grandparents, who strongly influenced her in the use of plants medicine and healing songs.

Of Aymara lineage, she was born and raised in the Andes where her passion for Art and spirituality began, the connection with plants and their powers, in addition to being initiated into Healing songs, a passion that led her to vision and life preparation for the medicine path of Love, care and service of our Mother Nature.
:::

The ceremony will start at 8 PM sharp. We would appreciate it if you can arrive early.

pa la Pacha y SALUD,
JALLALLA!
