Taky Samy is an ancestral Andean healing practice that addresses physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and auric bodies. It connects practitioners with plants, animals, birds, and Mother Earth through instruments made from ceramic, bamboo, deer, and condor feathers and bones, guided by prayer, mantras, and songs that invoke the Great Ordering Spirit Pachakamak and the Great Mystery Tunupa Tixi Wirakocha. The practice aligns with the cycles of Mother Earth, reflected in crop cultivation and rituals like solar dances accompanied by corn chicha.
