Our Brand
Pachamama
Pacha Mama medicines is devoted to helping self-aware people open their hearts to the infinite wisdom of their inner knowing with plant medicine (rituals) and transformational coaching.
The indigenous people of the Andes give praise to Pachamama, which is the Quechua word for “Earth Goddess.” In Inca mythology, Mama Pacha or Pachamama is a fertility goddess who presides over planting and harvesting. She illuminates that ritual is a sequence of actions rooted in specific intention that allows for deeper connection with our inner spirit and nature. Pacha Mama teaches us to invite ritual into our lives, as ritual feeds and nourishes the soul.
Pacha Mama medicine provides an opportunity to weave plant medicine rituals with transformational, personal growth work. We utilize these plant allies to empower you to heal, connect, and open your heart to the infinite wisdom of your inner knowing.
We know that all human beings are microcosms profoundly related to the macrocosm of nature and are functional units under the directing hand of an intelligent, self-regulating, and self-correcting guiding life force. Pacha Mama medicine is here to guide you, while offering personal plant remedies that derive from mother earth.
