Your Soul is Calling
Do you long for an experience that leaves you changed forever?
I had been to the Sacred Valley four times, and finally and quite unexpectedly putting roots down to live here, I have really had the opportunity to see just how potent the energy here is, for transformation. My own journey has been full of insights, realisations, challenge and change and my wish is to offer you that same container for transformation and movement forward, whatever that might mean for you.
In a world that is so full of 'noise' we often find ourselves in a momentum of continued producing and consuming and don't generally have the inner stillness or time set aside to communicate with the other layers of our being. Our soul voice is drowned out by the mental space, that assesses everything and continually looks for answers. This can lead to soul loss in many ways, and this journey is an invitation to come home, calling yourself back into fullness with love, gratitude and connection. From this place, so much is possible that you may not have even thought possible. If I look back at my life three years ago, I wouldn't have believed my current world!
The Q'ero Path
A people full of heart-centred love that you can't help but be touched by
I met the Q'ero teachings 13 years ago and have had the honour and opportunity to sit in ceremony, receive karpay and work/travel with various Q'ero over that time and the overriding experience that is the same with all of these beautiful people, originally from the mountains, is their childlike innocent heart energy.
Sitting in ceremony, using coca leaves and offering Haywarikay (Despacho) among others, is central to life for them and it really reminds me that we have lost the memory of making life a ceremony, of giving thanks and gratitude to the earth and other elements, this respect and offering of gratitude is termed 'ayni' in the Q'echua language. A practice of reciprocity that brings us back into balance with not only ourselves, but with others and the world around us. This new harmony is what is needed for healing our world.
Journeying with the Q'ero is only part of the fantastic experience the Sacred Valley has to offer.
With my guidance, we will also visit sites alone, to connect to the energy of the land and listen to the wisdom that still speaks here.
The Sacred Valley, Peru is a place where magic happens. The land here is full of energy portals and nusta energy (a name in the Q'ero cosmology which means the feminine energy that abundantly flows from the mountains, rivers/lakes and mother earth), which means it is very easy to spend our days in ceremony and sacred process.
You will be invited in many different ways to start peeling back the layers of your normal life, to become aware of patterns, stories, old memories that are holding you back from living in a way that nurtures and sustains you. Your days on the land will change you in ways you may not anticipate!
Our home for the duration of our stay
We have a variety of beautiful places throughout Cusco and the Sacred Valley that we use
to land for our experiences depending on our group, what journey is in our itinerary
and the duration of our time together.
