Community Rainbow Despacho

Thank you to all of the beautiful souls for sharing your hearts at Lincoln City PrideFest 2025 and co-creating this amazing gift to the Earth. The Q’ero say flowers bring magic and we give the gift of beauty back to the Earth, not through our understanding and intellect, but by knowing in our hearts the nature of beauty. The petals placed around the Despacho help to assemble our reality with beauty, balance and harmony. After the Despacho was complete, it was blessed, and then we offered it to the Ocean, releasing and freeing the prayers to bring healing for individuals, families, communities and the Earth. Añaychayki! Thank you! 🙏 I am so honored to hold this sacred space for you.

And thank you to the City of Lincoln City for the grant funds, thank you to Quality Printing Service for providing the paper and print materials, and thank you to Aster Flora & Gifts for delivering the 400 Carnations!

Each flower, each petal, each leaf, each stem, each design holds heartfelt intentions and prayers. You can view the video of the whole mandala here.

Off to the Ocean we go!

We made it! And now preparing to offer the Despacho to the Ocean to release the prayers. You can view the video here.

Hiyaya! Glory to Our Hearts!
