THE SACRED ART OF SOPLADA with Tracy Wilbanks

THE SACRED ART OF SOPLADA with Tracy Wilbanks
Sunday, October 19th at 1pm

The practice of Soplada (from Spanish "soplar," meaning "to blow") is a fundamental healing technique in Amazonian traditions where practitioners intentionally direct Mapacho smoke with precise movements and focused intention. During this ritual, the practitioner blows smoke over the body to perform energetic cleansing (dissolving negative energies), create spiritual protection (forming an energetic shield around individuals and spaces), activate sacred objects and medicines, and call upon ancestral support. This technique is performed with deep focus and reverence, connecting the practitioner to Mapacho's spirit before directing its smoke with purpose and intention.
