This ceremony is performed to create group solidarity, friendship, warmth, wisdom, courage and harmony with the spirit realm, as a fundamental part of the cosmic order.
The relationship between man and Mother Earth (Pachamama) is a continuous interaction between humans and spiritual beings, and that is why the coca leaf, through this ceremony, forges an intimate bond between man and spirits, between the human and the sacred . The coca leaf is thereby the element that symbolically cements the collaboration pact between the realms of spirit and men.
