Pair of bells from SONQO | Man & Woman | Height 5-7 cm

The delicate sounds of the bells remind people of the feeling of Sumak Kawsay. This cosmology unites the five elements, the four seasons and cardinal directions, the three dimensions of space, time, and linearity (stories), as well as the dualities, all of which ultimately originate from the masculine and feminine principles.

SONQO sells the bells as a pair, in accordance with Andean tradition: one for invoking masculine energy and one for awakening feminine energy.

A ceremony always begins with a clear intention. The sound of the bell carries this intention into the infinity of the cosmos. In this vastness, mental resistances fall away, and the two energies of the mother and father essences unite in neutrality – in the middle way (Sumak Kawsay).
