Ancestral Journey: Music & Ritual from Ancient Mexico

Ancestral Journey: Music & Ritual from Ancient Mexico

An immersive evening of sound, story, and ritual.

Claudio shares a deeply personal offering inspired by his recent journey to Mexico City, you’ll get to experience his unique project, Xochipilli’s Eye (Zo-chee-pee-lee).

Through live sound, storytelling, and ceremony, Claudio brings the spirit of Xochipilli—the Mexica god of music, flowers, arts, and sacred plants—to Wellington. He returned with rare, handcrafted instruments and the wisdom of prehispanic musicians, ready to share a deeply authentic experience.

What the evening holds:

• A gentle cleansing on arrival using copal and herbs
• Stories of music in ancient times
• A powerful opening ceremony with the conch shell & altar
• Live music on clay flutes, drums, ocarinas, shells & more—creating magical shamanic atmospheres
• A closing traditional chant & deep relaxation
• Plant-based dinner & dessert served afterwards!

What to bring:

• Comfortable clothing
• A fruit or flower if you feel to offer to the altar

No prior experience needed.

Event followed by a plant-based dinner and dessert, all included in your ticket!
