Andean Coca Leaf Ceremony of Unification

This ritual is conducted to bolster group unity, foster friendship, warmth, wisdom, bravery, and equilibrium with the spiritual realm, as an integral element of the cosmic order.

The interaction between humans and Mother Earth (Pachamama) represents a continual exchange with spiritual entities, and it is through this practice that the coca leaf establishes a profound connection between humans and spirits, bridging the sacred and the mundane. Thus, the coca leaf symbolizes the agreement of cooperation between the realms of spirits and humans.
