DESIGN DEPITCION: The heart of the Ayahuasca Vine on the thighs and the Incan Cross (Chakana) on both the shins and the calfs guiding protecting and blessing your steps into the future and towards the past. Kenné patterns line and protect the pockets.
 
Wearing the AYAHUASCA VINE offers a deep connection to both Mother Earth and the Cosmos, and helps us feel all the spaces in-between. Ayahuasca is a master teacher of Universal Love, Surrender, Acceptance, and Unconditionality. Her lessons are lifelong. Wearing her reminds us to walk with absolute honor, accessible only through our truest attempts at humility. When we humble ourselves, we find our greatest source of power.
 
CHAKANA: This is the Andean, Incan, or Southern Cross. Representing the interconnectedness of the three realms: Hanan Pacha (upper world), Kay Pacha (earthly realm), Ukhu Pacha (lower world), across all four directions: South, West, North, East, and connecting into the Fifth Direction - our Spirit. This symbol is used for deep prayer and understanding of the universe as a representation of ourselves and vice versa. 
 
KENNÉ PATTERNS are unique to the indigenous Shipibo people of Peru, representing ceremonial communications with Mother Ayahuasca. They are sometimes considered the written "language" of the medicine. Each one is entirely unique and is believed to be a portal for merging our prayers from the material realm with the spirit realm. Wearing these patterns helps us walk with deeper humility and integrity.
