Spiritual Peru Journey 2020

Our journey begins in Cusco where we will be meet at the airport by our private guide and healers, you will be assisted and transferred directly to the Sacred Valley, our first stop is at the animal Sanctuary of Cochawasi which is a privately-owned, family-run organization in the Sacred Valley of Peru that rescues exotic animals that have been injured or have been used for cruel entertainment purposes. Condors are easily the crown jewel of the Ccochahuasi Animal Sanctuary, these breathtaking Andean birds are a national symbol of Peru and are, sadly, on the brink of extinction. A combination of illegal trafficking for their highly-valued feathers, farmers killing them because they mistakenly think the birds kill livestock (not true; condors prey only on animals that are already dead), and the birds’ monogamy and long gestation period have reduced its numbers to fewer than 100 in the wild.

Our second stop is at the temple of the snake of Uno Urco which its correspond to be one of the ceremonial altars of the Incas, here we will do our first ceremony asking permission to the mother earth (Pachamama) and the Apus (Sacred Mountains) before we embark on this spiritual journey.

Amaru’ Andean dragon

The serpent in Quechua native language is Amaru, for Andean culture represents wisdom, from their scales born the dreams, is the connector between the three worlds (upper, here and down) The opportunity to receive this initiation will open your channels of energy to help you to transmit the universe knowledge through all your physical, spiritual and energetical body to become in a being of wisdom.

Don Alipio is a Q’ero Master with pure energy and wisdom from the lineage of the Q’ero People; Mama Benita is an older medicine woman and a very powerful healer who comes from a different lineage of healers in the Peruvian Andes, closer to the rainbow lineage. Together these two healers will have a profound and lasting impact on our understanding of energy work and Andean medicine.

Mother Earth Pachamama Offering

The most important part of the communication with the spiritual world, the Despacho ceremony is an offering that has a shape of a mandala and follows that order using a variety of items from Animal, Plant, Mineral and Water Kingdom.

Chumpi Stones Healing Special

The stones we worked with are for reconnection, cleansing and clearing the energy centers (also called chakras in other countries), protective work, and grounding work. Are used to open, clear, and empower the person’s energy centers. The work is done in the 4 cardinal points, where the master will work with the 4 sacred animals and the 4 body centers that masters work with, with their tools and prays they will see where is the negative energy and after to cleanse, heal and bring harmony to the 3 bodies: the spiritual, the physical and the energetic bodies.

“Chumpi” is a Quechua word that means “belt”. Each belt is part of “The Bands of Power” that are protective rings or energy fields that surround a person. Each is linked to an energy center and act to seal a person’s energy field and ward off harmful energies that would normally find their way through our natural energetic defenses.

Sometimes these energy centers become blocked, closed, or weakened. The Chumpis can draw out dense energy and blockages and open them to balance their flow.

“The Chumpi Stones that I work with in my practice come from the Qero Nation in the Andean mountains of Peru. Are made of Alabaster and Meteorite and were hand carved by special artisans from my region, they are our main tools for healing. The ceremony is laying down, using our concentration, permission from the sacred elements of nature and empowering our tools to see what we have to work”

The Coca Leaf Reading

This is essentially a form of divination focusing on your health, family, friends and occupation.

The paqo begins by asking you questions regarding these, then prays to the nearby mountains with his satchel of coca leaves held high above his head. He will blow his breath through a bundle of three coca leaves known as a “quintu,” an act which establishes a connection to the apu mountain gods. He distributes the leaves onto a textile blanket and interprets the orientation of the leaves (i.e. light or dark side up) and their pattern for insight into your past, present, and future. This is a long-standing practice in Andean culture and a one-of-a-kind experience. It is traditionally performed before making major decisions and occasionally to identify thieves.
