Drawing on fieldwork in Andean Bolivia, this article examines rural urbanisation as a process of disconnection between people and place impacted by flows of rural to urban migration. Ritual relations with place are perceived as particularly significant for Kallawaya healers in the municipality of Charazani. They take a disruption of acts that maintain bonds between people and place as a result of urbanisation - examined particularly in relation to house-building rituals - as having knock-on effects for indigenous communal identity. These same healers are conscious of this urbanisation as the present manifestation of a historical process
