Ceremony of Cacao

📍 Prost Hallings vei 1, 0666 Oslo
📅 Saturday 11 April 2026 · 15:30–21:00
💰 999 NOK

An intimate Ceremony of Cacao with Mar Qhana Yumani. Cacao as it has always been prepared — by hand, with intention, with prayer. A medicine of sweetness, and of truth.

Mar also offers tobacco medicine during the ceremony — a gentler serving to deepen the connection with the cacao. This is gentler than Friday's dedicated ceremony. Mar speaks English, but ceremony demands her full presence — Atsugá is there to translate from Spanish when needed.

We gather in a small circle of up to ten people. Expect music, song, and room for whatever the medicine brings.

15:30–17:30Flower bath — an optional cleansing offering before the ceremony. Included for both workshop and cacao participants.
18:00–21:00Ceremony of Cacao begins.

Offering for the Sacred Air

📍 ZEN House, Sporveisgt 29, Majorstuen
📅 Friday 17 April 2026 · 18:00–21:00
💰 555 NOK

An evening ceremony with Mar and Thomas, working with the element of air.

Together we open a sacred circle and build a despacho — a prayer bundle in the Andean tradition — item by item, breath by breath. Air is the most intimate of the elements. It is already inside you. Every breath you take is a conversation with the invisible.

Through breathwork and song we charge the offering with what we carry — intentions, prayers, what wants to move. We breathe life into what we build together. When it is complete, the bundle carries everything we gave it.

Maximum 10 participants.

Offering for the Sacred Water

📍 Sognsvann, Oslo
📅 Wednesday 22 April 2026 · 17:30–21:00
💰 Free — donations welcome for Mar's work in Bolivia and Peru

An outdoor evening ceremony with Mar and Thomas, working with the element of water.

We gather at the water's edge and build a despacho — a prayer bundle in the Andean tradition — item by item, at the shore. Water moves. It carries. It cleanses without effort.

Through song and ceremony we place what we carry into the offering — held in shells, given to the water. When it is complete, we release it.

How to get there: Take T-bane line 5 to Sognsvann (end stop), or drive to Sognsvann parking. We meet at 17:30 at the T-bane station and walk to the shore together. Dress for the weather and bring sturdy shoes.

Maximum 10 participants.

By the Fire We Remember

A gathering of ancestral wisdom and spirituality around the fire.

A space where Mar Qhana Yumani, a Bolivian woman and practitioner of traditional Andean-Amazonian medicine, and Thomas, a Norwegian energy worker, share their vision of spirituality, ancestral wisdom, and connection with the living memory of plants from different lands.

Mar is a therapist, artist, and educator — open to sharing her vision of ancestry, master plants, and the tradition she grew up with and has been practicing deeply for the last 9 years. Thomas, based in Oslo, works with energy healing and makes this meeting possible, co-facilitating the space together with Mar.

We weave memory together — remembering and opening questions.

Maximum 10 participants.

A Journey to Spirit

📍 Leela Yoga, St. Halvards gate 33, Gamlebyen
📅 Saturday 25 April 2026 · 15:00–21:00
💰 470 NOK · 🧘 Leela members 33% off

An afternoon and evening ceremony with Mar and Thomas, working with spirit.

We open the space and settle in — a guided meditation to quiet the mind and open what lies beneath. Then we journey.

Using drum and medicinal tobacco as our vehicles, we make two or three passages into the spirit world across the evening. Each journey goes deeper than the last. The tobacco is offered in two rounds — a first for those finding their footing, a second for those called to go further.

Throughout the evening we build a despacho — a prayer bundle charged not by our hands alone but by everything that moves through the room. What the spirits bring, what the journeys open, what the medicine reveals — all of it goes into the bundle.

When the evening is complete, the offering is dispatched.

This is not a casual evening. Come rested, come open, come ready to meet what comes.

15:00–21:00. Maximum 10 participants.

Living Cacao — from the seed to the cup

📍 Leela Yoga, St. Halvards gate 33, Gamlebyen
📅 Sunday 26 April 2026 · 16:00–20:00
💰 470 NOK · 🧘 Leela members 33% off

A workshop to meet cacao from its origin. We look at the raw seeds — including cacao chuncho, the ancient, unmodified variety — toast them together, and taste the different flavours.

We continue the process until we hold our own cups of cacao, and share them in a meditation that brings us into the heart — where cacao works in us.

We share word and vision.

Mar Qhana Yumani is a Bolivian medicine woman and traditional Andean-Amazonian practitioner. She teaches you how to prepare the medicine yourself — from raw bean to cup, the way it has always been done. The grinding, the intention, the prayers that go into every batch. Not a recipe. A relationship.

The connection with cacao — as with every plant — is a relationship. That is how we work with them: by relating with them, coming to know them. This gathering is an introduction to that space.

Max 10 participants.

Offering for the Sacred Earth

📍 Høienhall, Maridalsvannet, Nordmarka
📅 Wednesday 29 April 2026 · 17:30–21:00
💰 Free — donations welcome for Mar's work in Bolivia and Peru

An outdoor ceremony with Mar and Thomas, working with the element of earth.

We gather in the forest. No walls, no roof — just trees, soil and what we bring with us.

Together we build a despacho — a prayer bundle in the Andean tradition — and fill it with what we are ready to commit to. Not release. Not let go. Plant. When it is complete, we put it in the ground.

How to get there: Take bus to Solemskogen, or drive to Solemskogen parking. We meet at 17:30 at the parking and walk in together — a short walk on gravel to the site. Dress for the weather and bring sturdy shoes.

Maximum 10 participants.

Offering to the Ancestors

📍 Glød Yoga, Parkveien 62, Oslo
📅 Saturday 2 May 2026 · 18:00–21:00
💰 390 NOK · 🧘 Glød members 33% off

An evening ceremony with Mar and Thomas, honouring the ancestors.

We each carry more than our own story. Behind us stand the parents, and their parents, and everyone before them — the ones who struggled, the ones who endured, the ones who loved imperfectly and passed something forward anyway.

Through guided meditation we turn to face that line. We feel who is there. We receive what has always been waiting to be given.

Together we build a despacho — a prayer bundle in the Andean tradition — placing into it our gratitude, our acknowledgment, what we are ready to carry forward and what we are ready to set down. When it is complete, we give it to the earth.

Maximum 10 participants.
