{We currently have 10 spots remaining}
In the Andes it's believed that you are born with the seed of the universe, a seed of personal potential that is waiting to be awakened, fed and liberated. Are you ready to awaken the dormant seeds within? Do you yearn to connect with the sacred Apus (mountain spirits) in the high Andes of Peru? Do you have a desire to integrate Earth-Honoring practices into your life? Allow the call of nature to connect you with the creative fire that burns so brightly in your spirit, guiding you back to stillness. Come sit with the wisdom-keepers of the mountains, as we commune with the nature spirits, the stone spirits, the plants and the elements. Learning the wisdom of wild medicinal plants that grow in the Andes and in North America. Sit with Q'ero Andean wisdom-keeper Victor Chura Quispe, learning the law of Ayni - the sacred art of reciprocity between humans, nature and the universe. Our retreat will have a primary focus on plant connections, medicine making, connecting to the elements within our inner landscape, remembering the medicine of Pachamama (mother earth) and receiving deep soul guidance from the nature spirits. This wisdom can be taken back to your land and integrated into a daily practice to liberate you spirit and heart. Every retreat a percentage of all payments goes to an organization to support the needs of Andean communities!
