A Simple Guide to Creating Your Own Despacho

You don’t need elaborate materials to create a Despacho. What matters most is your heart, your prayers, and your intention. Here’s a simple way to begin:

1. Gather Materials – Collect a piece of paper as your base and gather natural items that feel meaningful: flowers, seeds, herbs, small leaves, grains, flowers or even written prayers.

2. Set Your Intention – Take a few breaths, call in gratitude, and focus on what you are offering (healing, balance, blessings, thanks).

3. Place with Care – One by one, place each item on the paper, speaking your prayer or silently holding it in your heart as you add it.

4. Fold and Bundle – When you’re finished, gently fold the paper into a bundle, wrapping your prayers inside.

5. Offer It Back – Release your Despacho in a way that feels right: burn it in a safe fire, bury it in the earth, or place it in running water—always with reverence and gratitude.

   
   

The image below represents a personal Despacho I held honoring our garden and Mother Earth, thanking them for their abundance, sending blessings out to all.

Remember: there’s no “wrong” way to create a Despacho. The ritual is about your intention of reciprocity, connection, and the love you bring to it.

P.S. If you’re looking to shift the energies in your life, learn how to Journey, or begin your own Despacho practice, online sessions only are available through mid February. .
