Tinkuy is a Kichwa word for the sacred meeting, the convergence of two rivers. The moment when what was flowing separately finally comes together and something new is recognized in the joining. Tinkuy is not just a physical meeting. It is the moment of sacred recognition, when something that has been true for a long time is finally seen and received.
Tonight that meeting is with yourself.
You have been moving. Changing. Releasing things, claiming things, becoming someone slightly - and sometimes significantly - different from the person you were at the start of this year. Most of us do this without stopping to acknowledge it. We keep moving past our own becoming, already looking ahead to the next thing, never quite pausing long enough to let what has already happened land.
This ceremony is the pause.
Ceremonial cacao is a heart-opening plant medicine from the Amazon basin, worked with by my ancestral lineage as a way of softening the places we keep defended. It opens the heart enough to actually receive what the mind keeps deflecting. The breathwork clears the body's field. And the journey holds the mirror - not to show you who you should become, but to show you who you already are. The version that has been quietly forming. The one that is more rooted, more honest, more at home in itself than you may have allowed yourself to recognize.
The Siwar Q'enti is the royal hummingbird, she is the messenger of love and the heart's wisdom. She knows how to recognize sweetness when she finds it. She travels impossible distances and she always finds her way back. Tonight she is your guide. Not to somewhere new. Back to yourself.
You will leave this night having met yourself - clearly, without the usual deflection - and that meeting changes the way you move through everything that follows.
What to bring: yoga mat, blanket or layers, water, journal.
A note on cacao: Ceremonial cacao is a plant medicine that works on real physiology — increasing blood flow and activating the cardiovascular system. Please don't drink if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking SSRIs, MAOIs, or antidepressants, or managing a heart condition or high blood pressure. You are welcome to attend and receive the ceremony without the cup. Reach out before you register if you have any questions.
