One of our beautiful retreat leaders here in Australia is Natalie McIvor, a Munay Ki Rites Practitioner who has been facilitating retreats for 17 years.
"I’ve been walking this path learning and growing for about 25 years. I’ve explored many modalities and with ritual and practice my skills developed. When I began working with cacao about 6 years ago and the Munay ki rites about 4 years ago- I just became more deeply connected to Pachamama and our ancestors" |

A guide to creating shamanic ritual to support your sacred journey.
Shamanic ceremony & ritual has been used throughout the ages as a pathway to connect with the ancestors, shamans, medicine men/women and healers who have passed before us. When we pause and call for them, they will whisper their guidance, wisdom and knowledge to show us the inner path for our own shamanic healing. To heal our past, our lineage and to guide us into the future to tap into who and what we are here to be.
One of the most powerful spiritual gifts I have received, are the Munay Ki rites, the ancient initiations of the Laika people of Peru. Upon receiving these seeds of consciousness, my whole life changed, my spiritual gifts became enhanced and I felt a deeper connection to the earth and all beings.
"The Munay-Ki Rites are the nine rites of initiation to become a person of wisdom and power who has accepted the stewardship for all creation.” Alberto Villoldo.
These rites begin your journey by activating your inner shaman and lighting your shamanic path. Here is a sacred fire ritual to connect with the powerful archetypes of the Munay Ki and begin your powerful journey with these ancestors.
You will need:
Candle or fire, an open heart and a clear intention to call in the Munay Ki Ancestors to guide your shamanic path.
Sit or stand in front of your candle or fire & gaze into the flame.
Breathe slowly and deeply in and out of the nose and feel the breath opening your heart.
Scoop your hands over the flame and draw the energy of fire into your heart a few times as you mentally or vocally call in the Laika
Close your eyes and simply invite them to connect with you through the element of fire.
Once you have a sense that they are there, ask them for any messages or guidance you seek, tell them your wishes & dreams, ask them to help you release what no longer serves. Sit with their energy, their presence and allow yourself to connect with their medicine. To bring healing to your lineage and life and guide you fearlessly into the future. Do you feel the presence of any or all of these archetypes?
Before you end your journey with these ancient shamans, declare to the flames the person you are ready to become; eg I am ready to embrace the power within, I am ready to walk the shamans path, I am committed to my spiritual path.
Gaze into the flames and feel the comfort of sacred earth beneath you, the air around you, the fire within you, and the water that nourishes and cleanses you. Know, that you are one with great spirit. Offer your gratitude for their guidance and healing, blow out the candle and walk the earth with purpose and love.
