Peru - Recovering Lost Wisdom

Personal Invitation

The Magic land of Machu Picchu offers a unique set of energies that can be used to assist us in our spiritual quests and in our self-healing process. Please join me and together let's embark on a journey of celebration and discovery. The native nations of the Southern Hemisphere celebrate the New Year with music, dances and ceremonies. A great time for us to join these celebrations and create a new cycle in our lives.

Let's open the gates to our inner being and let the Apus (spirits of the sacred mountains) of the Andes connect with our souls and our spirits.

Lake Titicaca still guards some of the most amazing secrets from the ancestors of these lands. Let's immerse our souls in this sacred lake and let the energy of the elders, of the ancient past, assist us in awakening our own inner wisdom.

2012 is here, the challenges are already being felt. Is 12/21/2012 really the end of the world, or is it really the beginning of a new era for the planet?

During this travel program we will take a serious look at the different theories and interpretations regarding 12/21/2012. Interweaving what we experience on site at the ancient Inca temples and altars, there will be a review of the Mayans and their heritage, calendar and numeric systems. This will allow us to understand why December 21, 2012 has been associated with the end of the world.

There will be with an analysis of the happenings in the sky near the end of the current year, and what humanity can and should do to prepare the physical, emotional and mind bodies for the energy shifts that our planet is going through.

Learn the basics of Sacred geometry thru ancient teachings that have been preserved by many cultures around the world. This includes the theory behind the secret meanings of geometric shapes and numbers. These teachings and techniques can be used to build grids, mandalas, altars, personal sacred spaces, and protection fields. Experience how to build crystal and stone grids to assist yourself or loved ones in real life applications, plus much more.

Solstice At Machu Picchu

This tour has been specially designed to climax in Machu Picchu at the time of the June solstice, the "Birth of the Sun," the holiest time of the year for the Incas.

The Temple of the Sun, Machu Picchu's most sacred place, was built especially for the Solstice. To witness sunrise in Machu Picchu during the Solstice celebration, as the magnificent architecture is touched by the golden rays of dawn, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The purpose of this tour is to provide you with unique information, insights and spirit-centered experiences of the lost wisdom of the Incas and other ancient teachings, which can be a springboard for personal and planetary transformation and healing. The energy of Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley of the Incas provides a perfect environment to accelerate spiritual growth and understanding.

Sacred Valley Of The Incas

In addition to the activities in Machu Picchu, much of our tour will be held at a beautiful resort nestled in the serene Urubamba Valley, the "Sacred Valley of the Incas." Here you can feel the "Apus," or Mountain Spirits, looking down from the surrounding peaks. The Incas believed that gods lived in the mountains above this Sacred Valley. In this tranquil environment you will have time to enjoy the nurturing landscape that surrounds you as you explore the ancient wisdom of the Incas.

Majestic Machu Picchu

At majestic Machu Picchu, the legendary "Lost City of the Incas," you will be located in nearly inaccessible mountains in the heart of a tropical rain forest. Set in a breathtaking location within a 360 degree ring of majestic Andean peaks, the ruins are alive with mystical energy. Explore and experience the temples and feel the enveloping peacefulness inherent at this most sacred of places. Experience the Jubilant Inti Raymi Festival Celebration

Meet Native Shamans

Another exciting feature of this tour is the opportunity to meet with native shamans of the ancient Incan tradition. With its magnificent scenery, breathtaking monuments and wealth of cultural history, Peru provides a powerful setting for our tour.

At the pivot point of the year, when the native people pray for the return of the Sun and the arrival of more light in their lives, we shall gather to bring increasingly powerful spiritual energies and healing to ourselves and the planet. You will also have time for Peru's colorful present-day culture, places and people. Plan to enjoy the fascinating towns, the fine shopping and the truly warm-hearted people.
