Our Sacraments
Kamentsa Inga Church

The way that we use any natural medicine in KAMENTSA INGA CHURCH, The Soul of the Hummingbird is always in a sacred ceremonial environment. We respect the plants and their spirit as alive beings, medicines, masters and we believe in their sacred and healing properties; therefore, we create sacred space before and after our ceremonies. Unless otherwise specified, ceremonies usually take place outside, in the open air around the fire. Before the sacred ceremony, each participant is prepared with a breathwork and meditation session, followed then by the application of the rapé so that the participants can connect with their body, bringing stillness to their minds and clarity to their intentions and then receiving a personal cleanse with the incenses, copal, and sage to clear the auric field. 

Opening Prayer

We open the space with a gratitude prayer to the great spirit, to the 4 elements and to all nature in general, we also ask permission and protection from the ascended masters from the ancestral pyramids of south America and from the place in which the ceremony is taking place. We then invoke the spiritual presence of the great universal masters and of the Taitas that have been our teachers and masters. 

Sharing of the sacraments (medicine)

We use an incense made of copal and other sacred plants accompanied by ancestral chants (icaros) to the sacred medicine. We offer and we ingest our sacrament. After the first cup has been ingested, the participants sit in meditation as they wait the reactions that the element brings. The second and third cup are offered in intervals of approximately two hours. 

During the Ceremony

The energy is moved throughout the circle with different dances and the sounds of harmonicas, drums, Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, and cleanses with sacred elements like tobaccos, incenses and “guairas” take place. We also share different songs and praises with guitars and other sacred musical instruments to help raise the vibration of the group. 

The facilitators will make sure that the space of the ceremony is maintained comfortable and clean and if necessary, each participant will be personally assisted to go to the bathroom and to the determined spaces to purge or when they are experiencing challenging process through their experience.  

Closing of the Ceremony

Before sunrise we will perform an energetic cleanse to each participant; for this process we use different incenses, tobaccos and extracts of sacred plants that are blown on the body of the participants by the Main Minister (Taita) or Associate Minister (Disciple or Assistant). 

We also use florida water to be poured on the hand of each participant to be rubbed on their own body and then we will balance the energy and we will follow through with closing the chakras with the vibration and the sound utilizing “guairas”, harmonicas and rattles. 

Integration Circle:

We will gather in a sacred circle of talk and allow space for each of our community members to share their experience through the night and connect with other participants. We also offer one-on-one post integration sessions, for those who need a more intimate setting, we will be sure support our members in navigating life after a journey and how to stay on track with the lessons learned. 

Closing Prayer

We will proceed to raise our closing prayers where we express gratitude with our ancestors, guides and masters as well as the spirit of all the sacred plants that have been used throughout the night. To conclude the ceremony and welcome the morning, the community gets together to bless the food and then we do an offering to the grandfather fire to bring balance to our relations and to honor the sacred elements. 

Appearance and Clothing:

During ceremony, members/participants should utilize a special dress code reflecting unity and respecting the sanctity of the sacred ceremony.  We recommend you wear comfortable clothing and that women wear long skirts to honor the feminine. Men and women should avoid colors like red and black and preferably use light colors.
