Ever wonder what "magic" really looks like on a Chacana retreat? Sometimes, it looks like a heartbeat in the distance. 🥁

Back in July 2024, while exploring the sacred Hill of Tara in Ireland, our group started hearing the sound of drumming. We followed the rhythm over the crest of a hill and came face-to-face with a group of shamans.

The moment we saw their mesas, we knew: they were family.

In a beautiful "see, it really happens!" moment for our students, we stepped forward and shared our lineage. Within minutes, we realized we were all part of the same massive Ayllu (community)! 🌎✨

What happened next was pure medicine:

• We invited our new soul-friends to join us for a Despacho ceremony.

• We spent hours singing, teaching, and sharing stories under the Irish sky.

• We closed our time together by offering Kutis to one another.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime reminder that when you walk this path, the world gets much smaller and a lot more connected.

Note: Out of respect for our distant Ayllu, we’ve blurred their identities in these photos—but the energy of that day is unmistakable! 📸🙏
