The Boulder/Denver Ayllu apacheta feeding and despacho creation and burning was a great pilgrimage. First stop was the apacheta at Lilly Lake which enjoyed the feeding and connection to apus and sacred spots world wide. Next was Old Man Mountain in Estes Park where a beautiful despacho was created followed by a climb up to the apacheta there for a bit of reconstruction and feeding. Such a powerful mountain! Our final stop was Sallie's back yard where the despacho was burned and hearts connected in song around the fire. Thanks to Stanley, Edie, Diana, Barbara, Taylor, Aprylisa, Peter, Jane, Thiya, Vicki, Sallie, Reina and Trent who shared in this creation along with other ayllu friends who participated in despacho creation near Logan, Utah, Mount Antero Colorado, Kansas City, and Marpa Point near the Shambhala Mountain Center in addition to our other Suyu family across Turtle Island.
