Built around the Raymi:
Raymi are a type of festival held by the Ancient Quechua speaking peoples of the Andes. These festivals celebrate seasons and are based on the movements of the Sun. There are four primary Raymi:
- Pawkar Raymi:
- Inti Raymi:
- Killa Raymi: This Raymi is a celebration of the Moon. Observed on the spring (September) equinox. The Moon Festival is one to explore our feminine aspects as Killa lights the way through the darkness to understanding.
- Kapak Raymi: The great organizer. This Raymi is one of examination and preparation. Kapak Raymi is observed on the longest day of the year, the Summer (December) Solstice. The Organizer comes into our work by helping us to examine our past year, while preparing us to enter another cycle of growth and transformation.
For more information about the Raymi, please refer the the sourced links at the bottom of the page. It is important to understand that Quechua wasn’t a written language and thus spellings may vary. In the same way, the Andes are full of Quechua speaking people and their celebration of the Raymi varies greatly in every small mountain town across the entirety of the Andes; from Ecuador to Argentina.
Pawkar Raymi: Garden Celebration
Held in the fall (March Equinox) this Raymi celebrates the garden. The Ancient Quechua speaking tribes celebrate the garden and all of the abundance it has provided. Our Pawkar Raymi Ceremony follows this tradition through transformation by celebrating our own inner garden, and giving thanks to all that nature has provided for us. While also creating space for something new to grow.
This Pawkar Raymi Retreat will focus on bringing you into connection with Nature and the cycles of seasons we all live and work with. The retreat is 8 days and 8 nights from March 14th to March 22nd 2026. You’re invited to join us in this expansive experience!
