Transformational Journey to Sacred Peru: Yoga and Shamanic Healing Retreat

Open to the destiny of who you really are! Join us on a transformational journey to the most sacred place on earth, the Sacred Valley of Peru, in the majestic Andes Mountains. Experience inner healing as we weave the practices of yoga and shamanic traditions. Taste the earth medicine of the four directions and five elements. Be embraced by the Q’ero shamans, the wisdom keepers from the high Andes, who will guide us to sacred sites and lead us in healing ceremonies.

Our journey begins in Pisac, at Paz y Luz Healing Center, at the base of the Temple of the Falcon, alongside the Urubamba River. We will also stay at Las Chullpas, a beautiful healing space set amongst the mountains and gardens. Our adventures include gentle yoga, visits to sacred temple sites, munay-ki (sacred healing rites), fire ceremonies, healing work, despacho (a Peruvian form of mandala and prayer offering), hiking, meditation, and relaxation. We will journey to Machu Picchu, considered the most ancient mystical site in the world, and a place of profound beauty. We will stay in the quaint town of Ollantaytambo (City of Dawn), and practice yoga at the sacred ruins there. We continue on route to Agua Calientes, and our final pilgrimage to the citadel of Machu Picchu, the crystal city in the clouds.

You may choose to stay on for 3 more days and experience the healing plant medicine ceremony of Ayuhuasca. Ayuhausca is also called the vine of the soul. It is a journey into our deep soul guided by an experienced shaman. This ceremony is a profound opportunity to move beyond fear into your true destiny and connect with the ancient forces of the earth, the pachamama, in healing and love.

Yoga and Shamanism are both ancient systems that assist us in transforming our experience of life into a healing and mystical experience. You will receive energetic rites, The Munay-ki, the rites of initiation into the medicine way. The Munay-Ki are the nine gates that heal us and transform our human energy field into that of homo luminous, luminous beings. The prophecies of the ancient Americas speak about a new human appearing on the planet – one who lives free of fear and resides in his or her transcendent nature. The Munay-Ki are the codes for this transformation.

Join us on this transformational journey of awakening in Peru, the mystical land of Pachamama, mother earth, and experience the deep inner mysteries of healing into your most authentic self. Those who have joined this retreat in the past have said it was the experience of their lifetime.

The Q’ero Shamans are considered the wisdom keepers from the high Andes. These beautiful healers embody the true essence of love as they share and transmit their healing. The Q'ero are the direct descendants of the Inca, who, 500 years ago, fled to the safety of the sacred mountains to escape the Spanish Conquistadors. They fled and made their villages in the clouds at 14,000 ft. Fortunately, the Spanish failed to find them there. The Inca Master Shamans were considered the "Wisdom Keepers". Throughout the generations, their oral tradition preserved the ancient healing methods, rituals and the prophecies for the future of human beings and the planet. This knowledge has remained uncontaminated for thousands of years. The Q'ero understood that there would be a time when the world needed to remember the ancient wisdom. At that time, they would come down from their lofty hiding place to spread their knowledge. The time is now. With their infinite graciousness, they are offering this knowledge to all of us.
