Chio’s passion for healing started in 1992 when she became a Physical Therapist specializing in neurological and vestibular rehabilitation. Her devotion to healing guided her to look into other modalities, eventually leading her to European Shamanism in 2014, opening her up to Spirit in a profound way. In 2019, Chio was introduced to the significance of rituals and ceremonies through the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, a gateway to a heart centered connection with the Lineages of South America. She is immensely honored to be of service to Pachamama and to all life on Pachamama. She embodies compassion and guides students through this multi-layered tradition while providing a supportive space for personal healing and transformation. Chio resides in Sacramento, California and offers remote healing services, please contact her directly.

Ligaya was born in the Philippines and grew up with the indigenous tribe of the Cordillera mountains on the island of Luzon. She spent her youth as part of a community that is rich in rituals honoring our beloved Pachamama, the cycles of life, and nature. Her emigration to the United States in 1986 severed this connection and caused her to eventually forget. Ligaya joined the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition in 2015. The PMT helped her remember and tap into forgotten shamanic rituals and ceremonies from the tradition she belonged to as a young girl, valuing wisdom from the ancestors and practices giving back to the seen and unseen world. More importantly, the PMT provided her with a heart-centered community that values right action as a way of life. Ligaya lives in Sacramento, California and is blessed with three talented kids.

An Invitation to Co-Create
At the sacred moment of the Equinox, day and night meet in perfect balance, inviting us to pause at the threshold between what has been and what is yet to come.
Together, we will co-create a Despacho, a sacred offering woven from gratitude, prayers, and intention. A Despacho is composed of items known as recados (message transmitters), each infused with heartfelt prayers and ceremonially arranged into a beautiful mandala-like pattern. As each recado is placed, we weave our individual blessings into a collective offering for Mother Earth and the unseen forces that support life.

As we gather in sacred reciprocity, we honor the gifts we have received, release what no longer serves, and welcome the wisdom and possibilities of the season ahead.
If you feel called to stand at this threshold with us, we warmly welcome your presence.

What to bring:

You are invited to bring one or more natural or organic items that symbolize balance, gratitude, or harmony in your life. As we co-create the Despacho, these offerings will be infused with our collective prayers and intentions, becoming part of a sacred mandala of gratitude and reciprocity. As offerings, they will remain with the Despacho and will not be returned.
A pair of socks, a drum, a rattle, or a music maker if you have one to play.

Please RSVP as space is limited to 12 people
