JOURNEY TO THE SACRED MOUNTAIN: APU AUSANGATE Extend your retreat experience and deepen your connection with these sacred mountains.
We’ll spend 3 days together as we journey to Apu Ausangate, a pilgrimage place for many paqos, shamans, and healers from around the world.
We will journey to the sacred mountain of Ausangate with P'aqo Víctor Quispe and our translator Dora Fronek, who translates the wisdom teachings with proficiency and has studied at victor’s side. Víctor is a Pampamesayok medicine man from the Q'ero communities in the high Andes of Peru who leads people to Ausangate to awaken their highest potential. We will spend three days immersed with the energies of the mountain. We will meditate with the spirit of the mountain, connect with the sacred lakes and the healing hot springs. Víctor's viewpoint about connecting with the mountain spirits is that it takes at least three to four days sitting with any spirit or energy before it opens to you fully. We will be immersed with the elemental spirits and diving deep into offering ceremonies, karpay ceremonies, meditations with your mesa or khuyas (sacred stones), coca readings (at additional cost), ancestral teachings and working with the spirit of the lakes. Víctor will have a chance to observe and see what energies are present in your vessel and introduce you to this grande teacher Ausangate.
Apu (mountain spirit) Ausangate is the fourth highest peak in Peru, beginning at the village of Pacchanta 3800m/12,464 ft. and reaching a peak of 6384m/ 20,944 ft. This Apu is a masculine mountain and has three daughters: Maria Huamantija, Juana Sakapana and Umpa Catalina. The feminine mountain Apu kyangate is the wife of Ausangate. People who come to these mountains from afar feel the call or have dreams of the mountain calling them, it holds an ancient Grandfather energy where you can seek guidance on your path. The mountain has a way of doctoring the physical and spiritual body. This holy mountain holds the Altomesayoq energies, the most highly respected teacher that can serve as gateways between ordinary and non-ordinary realities.
