Huachuma in Arizona
Huachuma, the cactus most people know as San Pedro, and the all day walks held with it in the high country of Arizona.
Let us walk together upon our beautiful planet, with gratitude for all of our blessing. In the plants, the animals, the minerals and in each others' eyes, let us see a clear reflection of ourselves. Let us send our love outward in prayers of unity to all creation, and inward to the vast spaces within our hearts. Let us feel deeply all of our emotions, the emotions that have names and those we can't even begin to understand. Let our hearts burst open so wide we never knew such love was possible. Let our communion, our walk, our songs, our breaths, our prayers, renew our souls.
Huachuma has been worked with in ceremony in the Andes for thousands of years. The same plant is worked with in Arizona now.
The walks are on foot and take a whole day. They are held in the desert around Phoenix, in the red rock above Sedona, and in the pine country near Prescott.
