Fapqua: Seeds of Remembrance

Dear mujeres, women, sisters, and relations,

We warmly invite you to join us in prayer as we welcome back Abuela Carmen Atizerecha for a Fapqua prayer.

Fapqua is a sacred beverage that has been prayed with by the Muisca women of Colombia for hundreds of years. This beverage carries the ancient memory of the people of corn, bringing healing to women and helping us return to the wisdom held within our bodies, our lineages, and our prayers.

We will gather to be together, share Fapqua, and pray to elevate and transform the thoughts, opening a space of remembrance, healing, and connection with our ancestral memory.

Together, we will tune into the wisdom of the Mother Mountain of the Sierra Nevada, receiving the gifts of the seeds planted there and watering them here in our own lives, bodies, and communities.

This is a women’s prayer, a prayer we weave together.
