A Shamanic wisdom journey

Spiritual Expeditions to Peru

This is no regular tourist trip to the Peruvian Andes. Our expeditions offer a unique opportunity exclusively for students of the shamanic path (and their spouses and children) to work directly with some of the most extraordinary medicine women and men of the world.

Come, join us in ceremony with the keepers of luminous healing, soul retrieval and of the prophecies of the time to come. You will be warmly welcomed as brothers and sisters as they lead us in ceremony at some of the most sacred sites in the revered mountains of the Andes.

Enjoy worry free, all inclusive travel. Once you have arrived, all the logistics have been fully worked out to the last detail. All you need to do is show up at the Cusco airport, and we take care of you, the rest of the way.

2028 Expedition to the Sacred Valley and the land of the Q’eros

Dates To Be Announced.

- Highlights -

Sacred Valley of the Incas

The Sacred Valley proper refers to a stretch of the valley where the river, known as the Urubamba, the Vilcanota, or the more traditional reference as the Willkamayu, flows.  In Quechua, Willkamayu means "sacred river". 

Once the bread basket, and heartland of the Inca Empire, the Sacred Valley is known for its mild year round temperatures, abundant water, and rich deep soils.  Part of what makes this valley sacred is its incredible fertility.  Small scale traditional farming, collectively worked by community cooperatives, is still being done in this valley on ancient terraces that were made thousands of years ago.  It is not at all surprising to see farmers plowing a field with a pair of bulls yoked up to a wooden plow. 

Moray

This is a where the ancient shamans grew their wisdom side by side with their corn.

Moray is an ancient agricultural laboratory and seedling nursery. This site showcases stunningly beautiful circular terraces, built one on top of the other within natural sinkholes, resembling sunken amphitheaters. The gradual microclimates existing with the descending terraces reflect environmental conditions from all over South America.

There is a tangible feeling of being in the womb of Pachamama in this sacred space that deeply touches those who visit. When you lie on your belly in this site, the energy is so strong that you can easily and deeply connect to the heartbeat or pulse of the sacred Earth Mother, and remember this loving connection within your living soul. .

chinchero

Chinchero is mythically known as the 'Birthplace of the Rainbow.'

All the colors of the rainbow can be found within the herbs, flowers, seeds and roots that grow in the fields and forests around this village. They are still respectfully collected today, as they have been for thousands of years, to create the color backdrop of the beautiful textiles, weavings and other crafts that are created by the artisans of this village. The weaver's cooperatives share demonstrations of the multi-layered process that is performed to create their amazing creations.

Behind the main square is a lovely archeological site. While the wide terraces are known to be for growing crops, the shamans speak of this ancient sacred site as holding a portal to support accessing our most beautiful dreams.

Like at Machu Picchu, this site contains an Intihuatana, or sacred ribbon connecting the Papa Sun (Intitayta) to the Mama Earth (Pachamama) - the sacred masculine to the sacred feminine in loving union. This engraved ritual stone holds a sacred astronomical calendar.

They call on the waters that flow under the sacred mountain to bring harmony and balance. Ceremony and ritual healing here is focused on the balancing of the masculine and feminine energies. The luminous energy field is cleansed here with the vibrantly alive water flowing through the many fountains.

The Temple of Coricancha (in Quechua, Qorikancha) is a must see, as it was the religious, geographical and political center of the Inka capital of Cusco. Now a Catholic church, it was originally a temple where homage was paid to the Inka sun god, "Inti.”

This place sings a song of ancient worship and connection to all of life. The archaeological site, unique in the world, has inspired many of the fantastic images of the Inca mythology. A very beautiful physical 3D representation of the ancient shaman's map of the Chakana, is located in this sacred site.

Considered to be the last Inkan community, the Q’eros strive to preserve their indigenous traditions. For over 500 years the people have lived in isolation, forgotten to the world, protected from the onslaught of Western modernity. Now the paqos of Q’eros are answering a call to share the nectar of the wisdom tradition that they have so carefully preserved. We are honored to participate.

And many more sacred sites!

Plus - Extension Trip to Machu Picchu

The first offers a perfect view of sunrise during the winter solstice, and the second points to “Inti Punku,” the exact place where the sun rises during the summer solstice.

Dear Voyager,

Our Sierra de Luz expeditions are intimate trips among friends.  We keep the level of participants reduced to a small number so as to journey with a soft footprint on the land. And so we can truly hear the whispers of why we were called to come.

If you are considering such a unique and profound opportunity, I'll be honored to be in this expansive medicine with you.  Please reach out with the form below to inquire and claim a space for yourself on this sacred expedition.

In warmest of love & light,

Stephen

How Your Participation Supports the Q’Ero

Willka Yachay -

Pampamesayok Shaman School is very honored to be working in partnership directly with the Q'ero themselves, with the Peruvian based and indigenously run service organization Willka Yachay. Willka Yachay means “Sacred Vision.”  

We in essence are coming as their guests, because we are coming to their ancient home.

From Hannah Porst, founder of Willka Yachay: “The Q’eros people are the wisdom keepers of the Andes. They are alpaca herders, potato farmers, weavers, musicians, and paqos (medicine carriers) who live among the clouds in remote villages at 14,500 feet in the snow-capped Andes of Southeastern Peru. Con-sidered to be the last Inkan community, the Q’eros strive to preserve their indigenous traditions.

Few have the opportunity to visit Q'eros. It is a remote and very private community of a wonderful, warm hearted people. Those who are invited, and travel to their out-of-this world beautiful home, bond with them and are changed forever.

Please join us if you want to support their sustainable development, seek a strong intercultural connection with them, and wish to learn from their teachings.”

This is where the medicine teachings you have been studying come from.

The financial resources you are investing in your travel, as well as your deep appreciation and friendship, goes straight to benefit the people whose home you will be visiting. Our reciprocity for all the services and support it takes to host us in Peru, is going towards building a better Peru - in a manner that is authored by indigenous Peruvians themselves, rather than someone from the outside who does not have the real wisdom to make the best choices, nor has to live with the consequences from decisions that are being made.

Willka Yachay is a gem glistening in the Peruvian sunshine, honoring the sovereignty and self-determination of the ancient culture of the Q'ero nation.
