3-part online series from Tuesday, 30.09.2025

The lost children

That can mean a lot of things. For me (Andrea), I often had the vague feeling that I was alone and that there was someone who actually wanted to be with me. And that is an unborn aunt (or maybe uncle) of mine. My grandma got pregnant again at the age of 43, when my mom was pregnant with me. She decided that it was too much for her and that she was going to be a grandma and not a mom. It wasn’t a secret, I always knew that. But it wasn’t until I was able to assign the vague feeling to this missing being in my life and then made contact with her in my own way (in my head it’s an aunt) that something changed. A hole in the family patchwork was filled.
Lost children can mean many different things. Sometimes there is a twin who leaves the womb unnoticed. Or a foetus fails to implant. Or you may even be faced with heartbreakingly difficult decisions about whether you can keep a child. Or it may say goodbye to you before birth. An adult child who dies before the parents can also leave a serious gap. Or everyone in the family is alive, but there is a rift. And there are so many more situations where children are missing and lost…
Lost children – a vast field. We enter it together with Vilma.
All sessions will be held in English, recorded and sent out the next day, together with a summary in German prepared by Andrea. The last session is a ceremony in which we make a hayhuarikuy / despacho together.

Dates (European time applies):
Tuesday, September 30, 7 p.m.
Sunday, October 5, 12 p.m.
Friday, October 10, 7 p.m.

Price:
120 €
Like all offers from the association, this is also a project for association members. We would be delighted if you would join us and support us with your membership!

Fridays 12.09., 19.09., 26.09., 10.10., 17.10. and 24.10.2025

THE ART OF DESPACHO

Learn the basics of despacho ceremonies, bring more harmony into your everyday life and celebrate life.

The despacho describes the Andean ceremonial practice of offering sacrifices to the mountains (Apus), Mother Earth (Pachamama) and other nature spirits in reciprocity, reverence and thanksgiving.
A despacho is an act of love and a reminder of the connections we share with all beings, elements, spirits and sacred places. At the deepest level, it is an opportunity to enter into the essential oneness of all things, the living energy of the universe.
Despachos offer us a tool to move and change our own energy, the energy of a group, the world and the cosmos.
In this course, you will learn the most important cornerstones of this art and the principles of a despacho ceremony using various despachos that we will create together.
By the end you will have established a deeper connection to the powers of Pachamama (Mother Earth) and be able to perform your own Despacho ceremony.

Course schedule:

Before each course you will receive a handout of the upcoming despacho with the respective list of ingredients.

During the course, Volker will lead the despacho ceremony and make it for the whole group. Each participant can make their own despacho at home at the same time. At the end of the course, the despacho must be burnt or buried – you will of course receive instructions on how to do this during the course.

However, this should not create any fulfillment stress for you, as not everyone has the opportunity to make a fire to burn the despacho at any time. You are also welcome to simply “just” let the despacho work on you during the course and surrender to the energy and the process.

After the course, you will have access to the recording and can recreate the despacho at any time and at your own pace.
A despacho is an act of love and a reminder of the connections we share with all beings, elements, spirits and sacred places. At the deepest level, it is an opportunity to enter into the essential oneness of all things, the living energy of the universe.
Despachos offer us a tool to move and change our own energy, the energy of a group, the world and the cosmos.

DONATION CALL:

Support for Don Luis Quispe
Luis Quispe Calcina began his training in the tradition of the Qeros at the age of 15 and devotes himself entirely to serving Pacha Mama and the Apus. His late grandfather, Altomesayok Manuel Quispe Calcina, taught him a lot about ceremonies and spirituality. He received his Karpay (initiations) at Apu Wamanlipa from his father and grandfather, to whom he is deeply grateful.
He shares the wisdom of his grandfathers with generous energy and great care. It is his wish that these Inca teachings awaken peace and joy in the hearts of our global society.

Among other things, I (Volker) created my healing mesa with and through Luis, received carpays from him and learned a lot about the tradition of the Qeros.

At the moment, he is the one who needs support, as his son Jose had a serious car accident and was in a coma for two weeks. He is now on the road to recovery, but still needs further operations and some therapy. The financial means of Luis and his family are already very tight due to this situation and we have decided to help Luis and his son Jose a little through our association.

When I wrote to him, he replied:
“Hello brother, thank you very much for your messages, I am very grateful to you. I am very grateful for your support and I have great faith and hope that my son José will recover. I am sure that this help will be doubled for you and your families.”

We will support Luis and Jose with USD 250 from the association’s funds.
Any amount, no matter how small, makes it easier for the family and anyone who would like to contribute is cordially invited to do so.

Project Wonder Woman

Kuychichaka connects cultures. At our last club meeting in November, we came up with the idea of combining our wealth of experience from TCM, yoga/tantra/Ayurveda, Western medicine and the wisdom of the Andes and sharing it with you for a whole year.
A woman’s life is divided into 3 major stages: the girl/young woman from her first period, the mature, bleeding, fertile woman and the “wise old woman” with the menopause. Each of these phases has its joys and challenges. And we want to talk about them openly and let you talk about them too.

It is a mixture of knowledge sharing (an online evening of around 90 minutes during the week, approximately every 14 days), followed by the opportunity to share and ask questions in the protected environment of the circle. At the end of each phase, there is also a session just for communicating with each other and integrating what has been experienced with the support of an online cocoa ceremony.

We want to remain very practice-oriented. What concerns the participants, what topics are important to the group? There is therefore no claim to completeness, but the openness to be able to respond to everything that is there. Vilma Pinedo, Volker Truckenthanner, Katharina Muck and Andrea Schorr will be at your side as “speakers” and guides throughout this year. And perhaps a surprise guest or two!
