Feminine Power of Nature: Ñust’as of Water, Earth, Fire, Wind

Facilitated by Lucinda Brogden (she/her)

In the Andean traditions of the Q’ero people of Peru, the feminine Ñust’as are among the most powerful forces of Nature. The Ñust’as of Water, Earth, Fire, and Wind are considered to be global or Teqse Ñust’as. They are the healing envoys of Nature with planetwide influence; and they can be powerful allies for personal, community, and planetary healing.

This five-week workshop involves teachings, energetic practices, ceremonies, and initiations, known as Karpays, to connect deeply with the global Ñust’as. This work promotes direct connection with the feminine spirits of Water, Earth, Fire, and Wind. It can enhance your ability to listen to the wisdom of Nature, receive healing and support for your life, land, and/or work, and live more gracefully in balance and right relationship. Having a relationship with the Ñust’as is helpful for anyone, and can be more so for those who do healing work.
