The
Luminous Path takes you through the four cardinal directions where
you may explore the true nature of your relationship to time, energy
and the essential self. Through teachings as well as Andean rites of
passage and initiation, you will access the luminous fibers of the
universe that inform your body and your understanding of reality.
You will directly engage your own soul, thereby giving you
understanding of your life’s purpose and the ability to die
consciously.
As you grow in understanding, you will be able to
shed the past, confront your shadow and release limiting vision.
This intensive two-year mentoring program meets twice
a year for a total of four sessions, each lasting four days. Classes
are held in a semi-rural setting; working in nature is part of the
training. With the completion of the program you will have created a
powerful stone medicine bundle called a ‘Mesa’ in the Inka
tradition. As a ‘Full Mesa Carrier’ you will be qualified to
continue with Mastery Level workshops offered by teachers of the
Andean way. Working from Luminous Awareness, we create harmony,
balance and peace.
Cost: $400 + food and
lodging

Join
us for this Mastery level course in which you will learn about six
different mesas, each with its own place in the healing world, whether for
personal or community healing, that represents your personal
associations to nature spirits, sacred places and people of power
with whom you are connected.
You will learn to identify with your
local Apu and ñustas.
Each object in the different mesas serves the specific function of
balancing or activating a particular energetic area or elemental
force and re-establishes the condition of spiritual,
emotional, mental and physical health.
In this workshop we explore the Seven Energies of the Unconscious to
work with the Shadow Self. This tracking and divination training
addresses working with the eradication of fear-based behavior, and
learning how to work directly with advanced techniques of polarity
and harmonization.
We learn techniques for tracking huchas and dreams, several methods
of divination, and exercises for waking up to our power.
This workshop is for
those people who wish to understand the death process
better, for themselves and for those who either from a
personal or professional viewpoint, wish to help others
transitioning through death. We will explore alternate reality from
various perspectives, including the “little
death”.
The use of aromatherapy
within the healthcare setting has grown rapidly in recent years, and
the need for suitable training has become apparent. It is a risk
having staff who are inadequately trained in the practice of
aromatherapy using essential oils incorrectly on those in a state of
ill health, especially if the oils used are not of therapeutic
quality. This training will increase clinical safety and
effectiveness, and be more beneficial to a patient's health.
This Introductory
course explores the use of essential oils for clinical situations.
It will introduce you to the art and science of holistic
aromatherapy: its exceptional healing powers for a myriad of
diseases. Learn which oils are anti-inflammatory, antihistaminic,
anti-bacterial, and anti-viral, and how to
apply them for healing. Cost: $175 includes
sampler of 15 oils.
The Chacana,
or Inca Cross, is a powerful symbol of the Andes ancient
cultures and is considered the most complete sacred geometrical design for the
Incas. This symbol is
often seen at ancient sites and sacred centers though out the Andes of Peru and
Bolivia. Traditionally, the Chacana (cruz
cuadrada, meaning square cross in Spanish) represents the Southern Cross
constellation that the ancient Andeans believed to be the center of the
Universe.
The Chakana held
great significance for the Incas and has numerous
meanings in its design. During this retreat, we explore the deep
cosmology of the Tawa Chacana, an ancient symbol
that relates to wholeness, and its multi-faceted meanings: the three Worlds; the
three Spirit Animals; the Twelve Steps of Initiation; the Four Directions of the
Universe; the Four Seasons; and the Four Elements.

This Vision Quest
Retreat is an opportunity to deeply sense your connection to
nature and to envision your ultimate destiny. In this retreat, we call upon the
Eagle of the North and the Condor of the
South to help us become immersed in the healing power
of nature and spirit, and to hear the profound deeper teachings of the universe.
A vision quest is a
solitary retreat in nature for the purpose of receiving
spiritual guidance. In tribal customs, a vision quest was not a time to figure
something out; it was a time to receive divine guidance to benefit oneself and
one's tribe. In our modern times, when so many people feel disconnected from
their natural source and alienated from their spirituality, the vision quest can
be a powerful way to reconnect with both.
In this retreat,
you will leave behind the demands of everyday life, explore your intuitive
senses, learn to listen to your inner voice, and then be still and alone in
nature, allowing transformative healing or vision to come through.
You will receive
instruction in meditative and intuitive techniques, based on shamanic practice,
that allow you to quickly and
easily attain a state receptive to inner guidance. You will learn tools and
develop skills to connect with spirit and receive inner
direction; clear old wounds and blocks to move forward
more freely; identify your purpose and role in the
universal scheme.

Join us on this gentle journey to the Apus, the Sacred Mountains of Peru. Unlike
other journeys, you are not required to trek, hike or ride horseback.
On this journey of transformation, we will experience the energy of the 12
sacred Apus and of Pachamama, Great Mother Earth, by approaching as closely as
possible to these formidable mountains.
During our extraordinary journey, we will experience the teachings of several
Peruvian masters who have a living relationship with the Apus, and we will be a
part of traditional Andean ceremonies with our bilingual Peruvian guides at
several of the sacred power sites. These teachings and ceremonies will help us
connect with the Apus (sacred mountains) and Pachamama, and assist us in
balancing our male and female energies for our personal healing.
Join us on an incredibly beautiful and
fulfilling journey! Discover the secrets of the Sacred Feminine as we
journey to the female power sites of the Sacred Valley of Peru. In the
company of teachers of Inka mysticism, Peruvian medicine women, and Andean
priests and shamen, we discover directly the hidden mystery and powers of
these incredible sites through a connection with the wisdom of Nature
Herself. During this journey we’ll develop our intuition to attain greater
self-realization and achieve personal power. As we connect with a new set of
power places, we develop our feminine selves, allowing us to open to the
Divine Feminine. We will primarily work with water energies to learn to use
our personal feminine power with deftness and with compassion.
