We are excited to explore more Andean Wisdom teachings with Paqos Victor Chura Quispe and Celia Samata Apaza! In this 4-WEEK ZOOM CLASS SERIES. Victor + Celia guide us into the realms of the Andean wisdom of the CHUMPI STONES "KHUYAS"
This series is an introduction to the sacred Chumpi Stones of Peru, which are ancient tools of the shaman. Originally emerging from the Andes, these stones are sacred to the Q’ero, the medicine men and women of the high mountains of Peru. Chumpi Stone Sets are intimately connected to the wisdom and power of the Apus (the mountain spirits). As such, they are seen as empowered stones, and have direct relationship to the stars. Used for initiation, healing, and transformation, Chumpi Stone Sets are the voice of the Andean Cosmology and shamans’ way.
Hosted by Anna Claire Lotti + Sondra Hamilton. Translation from Quechua + Spanish provided by Dora Fronek.

Introduction to Chumpi Stones – History and Connection
In this opening class, we begin by grounding into the ancestral and cosmological context of the chumpi stones. We will learn about their origins in the Andes, their role within Andean energetic cosmology, and how they are traditionally used for protection and balance. Victor and Celia will discuss the energetic qualities of the chumpi stone, their relationship to the elements, and how they interact with the human energy field.
WEDNESDAY,FEBRUARY 11, 6:00 pm (EST)
Chumpi Stones + Connection to the Apus
Victor and Celia will speak about the relationship between the chumpis and the Apus, and how each stone carries the presence and medicine of specific mountains. This session invites a deeper appreciation of the chumpis as vessels of ancestral memory and mountain wisdom, and how they are honored within the mesa and ceremonial lineage.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 6:00 pm (EST)
Deepening Your Connection
The final class focuses on integration and deepening relationship. Participants will learn how to care for their chumpi stones, maintain their energetic clarity, and work with them in ceremony, prayer, and daily practice. Victor and Celia will share how the chumpis are traditionally understood as energetic belts that support alignment, clearing, and containment. This session is an invitation to step into ongoing relationship with the chumpi stones as living earth teachers.
Tuesday, FEBRUARY 25, 6:00 pm (EST)
BONUS CLASS!
Haywarikuy offering ceremony to close our sacred container, an opportunity to experience a traditional Q'ero ceremony. The ceremony will be done as a collective and Victor will place your prayers into the bundle and then transmuted in the fire.
This series is for anyone who feels called to work with the Chumpi Stones. No experience is necessary! just openness, curiosity, and respect for earth-based wisdom.
