The path of Andean shamanism is a powerful invitation to surrender to the mystery and beauty of the natural world while embracing the limitless potential for growth and healing that lies within.
Imagine waking up to the soothing sounds of nature, surrounded by a breathtaking landscape that serves as a sanctuary for your spiritual growth. From the first moment you step foot into this transformative retreat, you will be enveloped in a space of pure intention, love, and support.
You will be immersed in shamanic healing rituals at some of the most emblematic sites in Peru, including sacred temples and ancient Incan citadels. This is not just a vacation or a sightseeing trip; it is an opportunity to dive deep into your soul and explore the layers that hold you back from living a truly fulfilling life.
You'll spend your days in the company of medicine men and women, shamans, healers and wisdom keepers - each who will touch your soul and open your heart in a way not usually available to tourists. Your guides, will focus on the ancient mysticism of the landscape, and offer a deeper understanding of what it means to live in balance with yourself and Pachamama (Mother Earth)…with the knowledge that we are ONE.
Experience this extraordinary, transformational journey of spiritual awakening and healing.
Experience the magic of the ancient Incas - and reclaim your wholeness (and holiness).
An Unprecedented blend of Sacred Ceremony, Shamanic Healing, Spiritual Growth, Luxury Wellness and Yoga.
Our journey includes visits to the mystical, crystal temple of Machu Picchu, the powerful Pisac ruins, the colorful Maras salt mines, the serene Moray agricultural terraces, and many other sacred sites that hold profound cultural and spiritual significance. But you won’t just be sight-seeing….you’ll engage in ceremonies, meditations, and healing practices and learn about Andean cosmology and the unique spiritual path of the Peru Shamans.
The program has been consciously designed to offer a strong container for the transformational experience to unfold. Every moment is an opportunity for mindfulness and presence. The first week is a complete stand-alone experience (but is also a key piece of preparation for the second) and encompasses far more than than a tour or sight-seeing trip. It includes 2 shaman guided workshops, plus a Cacao ceremony and Incan Sound Healing, as well as numerous other authentic rituals and spiritual practices.
Intertwined throughout the experience will be yoga, breathwork and Yoga Nidra (guided meditation or yogic sleep) which will support your growth during the first week and act as a catalyst and preparation for the second week. The transformative power of movement, breath, and meditation will balance your energy centers, release stagnant emotions, and create space for divine guidance.
You’ll also have time to explore vibrant local markets, sample delicious local cuisine, and meet friendly locals. Whether you attend Week 1 or come for the entire 14-day journey, your experience will support your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being and you’ll leave Peru feeling more vitality, clarity, wisdom and inspiration.

MEET YOUR GUIDES
SHAMANS OF PERU
The Andean Shamans are the living lineage holders of an ancient Incan shamanic line. They carry and preserve within them centuries of wisdom & knowledge of spiritual healing and connection to the Divine.
Peru Shamans is an organization of healers from the whole of the Andes (including the Amazon Jungle) who have preserved their ancient, mystic knowledge from Incan times. They have created exclusive healing and teaching programs — like the Inca Shaman School — where one can learn basic, intermediate and advanced techniques of how to work and interact with this world of Energy. All of their programs combine the Andean teaching, ceremonies and visits to sacred temples around Cusco city and the Sacred Valley .
The mission of the Peru Shamans is to share the authentic healing techniques of their ancestors and pass down the original way of the Healing and Energy work to new generations. Their practices facilitate a reverence for nature and profound connection with Pachamama (Mother earth) and to the Cosmos. Their goal is for the prophecy of TARPAY PACHA to be realized and to become beings of pure light (CHAKARUNAS - connectors of light energy) putting into practice the AYNI (reciprocity between one another) and MINKA (a community that strives together to perceive ourselves as part of the collective and not just an individual), and finally, to express the MUNAY (the love we have for ourselves and everything that surround us).

In 2017, she acted on a desire to deepen her practice and made the commitment to temporarily move to Amorgos Greece for an intensive 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training.

LIISA HAMALAINEN, Yoga & Wellness Facilitator
Liisa is a Stott Pilates Instructor, an Ayurveda Lifestyle Advisor, Breathwork facilitator and is RYT certified to teach Dynamic yoga (which creatively blends the principles of Ashtanga and lyengar with meditation and breath.)
As a former professional Ballerina, Liisa spent a lifetime around movement and physicality. She discovered that Pilates was a great tool to help her body get stronger when injured, but also an amazing method to create a strong mind-body connection. The transition from Ballet to Pilates was a natural one for her and after becoming certified as a Stott Pilates instructor, she created a thriving Pilates practice.
However, through working with her clients, and from her own journey to healing, Liisa understood the need to gain additional tools to access and heal the mind and the spirit in addition to the body. She was called to study Yoga, Ayurveda, and Breathwork techniques and to share these healing practices with others. She was amazed at the incredible range of benefits she saw in herself and in her clients as she began teaching and practicing an Ayurvedic lifestyle, yoga, on and off the mat, and Breathwork techniques which calm the mind and nervous system, heal digestion, bring the body into sync with the natural rhythms of nature, release trapped emotions and trauma and deepen connection and alignment with Self and the flow of life. Her goal is to forward these powerful tools, knowledge and practices to others.
ANJA WE, Facilitator, Mentor and Wisdom-Sharer
Anja’s mission work as a spiritual mentor, shaman and highly empathic and intuitive soul, has led her to hold space in a variety of forms for hundreds of clients from all over the world. Her approach is deeply transformative, mystical and balanced in her grounded, joyful, and innocent nature. As a multidimensional medium and embodiment of Love, she bridges the realms of the earthly, with the realms of the divine, through her purity of heart.
Over a decade ago Anjas spiritual awakening and journey of self-development started and she faced her own shadows from ancestral distortions, trauma and past-life patterns which needed release and healing before embarking on her path of helping others to find their way back to truth of who they are.
Traveling, spiritual retreats and community gatherings have been one of the main catalysts for Anja’s growth. While traveling all over the world she studied with spiritual mentors, health practitioners and coaches and enhanced her learning through organic soul remembrance through connecting to the land, animals and the whole cosmos.
Working with spiritual mentor, A. Oeklkers, Anja embarked on a deep initiation into a shamanism and energy work becoming a Healer of the New Age. She continued to deepen her space holding work as a former healing tattoo artist, a teacher, healer and mentor for clients in 1:1 and group settings, holding womens circles with channeled transmissions, meditations, breathwork, and embodiment practices through both off and online events.
We’re here for you and happy to provide guidance from the very first moment of your journey. We’d love to jump on the phone with you to answer any and all questions! Just click below to schedule a time at your convenience.
THE TIME IS NOW
We’ve been in a period of stillness - suspended, stuck, waiting for the ground to unfreeze so we can stretch into our potential again. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Nothing in nature flourishes all the time. We, like the flowers in our gardens, have seasons. But, collectively, it has been a very long and dark winter.
We’ve carefully designed the experience with our wise partners, The Peru Shamans (of the Q’eros and Shipibo lineages) to re-energize, cleanse, remove blockages and ground you into your truth and your strength. This is a journey of healing, remembering and forgiveness…of planting the seeds for future blossoming and pruning the old parts of self that no longer serve your highest good.
This is an immersive leap into a world of magic, energy, ancestors and remembering. It is a celestial voyage back to the truth of who you are…designed to set you free to claim who you have always been - a Divine Being and one with All That Is. Here you will rediscover your belonging and your authentic essence. Here you will be liberated to discover your own path to your personal truth, vision and purpose. Using ancient modalities and surrounded by the healing Apu (mountain) you will embark on a profound spiritual journey.

She is balanced by the Cosmic Father and together they weave the fabric of our multi-dimensional reality, expressing the eternal truth of our Oneness with all that is.
There is no better place for reawakening than in the heart of the Sacred Valley, surrounded by a landscape of majestic mountainss.

PACHAMAMA DESPACHO OFFERING
One of the ceremonies you will experience during your trip is a Despacho Offering to Pachamama. The word “despacho” means “sending a message or care package” in Spanish and it’s an act of love that reminds us of the interconnectedness shared between all beings, elements, spirits, and sacred places. Despachos provide us with the opportunity to momentarily return to the essential unity with all that exists, with the living energy (Kawsay Pacha) of the Universe.
In the Q’ero wisdom lineage, the Despacho ceremony is the centerpiece of their spiritual and ritualistic heritage. When the locals go to see a Shaman, whether they go in search of better health, a more loving relationship, or healing from grief, the first thing often done is a Despacho.
Despacho rituals are designed to align, balance and harmonize the three levels of consciousness: Yankay (the physical universe), Yachay (the spirit or wisdom center), and Munay (the feeling or heart center).
AYAHAUSCA PLANT MEDICINE
Ayahuasca is an Amazonian plant mixture with an ancient history of use as a medicine and shamanic means of communication, dating back at least 2,500 years. A powerful teacher, Ayahuasca is a medicine capable of bringing about great physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing. She is reverently referred to as “Mother Ayahuasca” by those whose lives she has touched. As such, Ayahuasca is not intended for recreational use. She should be treated seriously and consumed in a ceremonial environment under the guidance of an experienced Shaman or Maestro who has had the wisdom of the lineage passed down through their ancestors.
The word Ayahuasca is derived from two Quechua words: aya meaning “spirit,” “soul,” or “ancestor,” and huasca meaning “vine” or “rope.” Thus, Ayahuasca is revered as “the vine of the soul.”
Indigenous traditions have worked with ayahuasca for thousands of years and have never viewed it as a quick fix or a recreational experience. However, Ayahuasca and the healing traditions of the Amazon are often able to offer a significant intervention into chronic emotional/psycho-spiritual imbalances and, sometimes, physical health conditions. It is fundamentally a transformational pathway to integrate and release the causes of pain and suffering.
Ayahuasca is a powerful cleansing and purifying medicine that can rid the body of physical impurities, the mind and body of emotional blockages and self-limiting fear-filled patterns that have accumulated over a lifetime, as well as retrieve fragmented aspects of one’s soul due to past traumatic events. The medicine is also a teacher who initiates or accelerates us into a lifelong journey of continual self-discovery, deep personal transformation, and remembrance of the divine within us all.
Ayahuasca journeys are an opportunity to rebalance, cleanse, and learn about your true self. You will need personal integrity and courage as you will face the whole of yourself, including “shadow aspects.” Although it is impossible to predict what you might experience with the medicine, it is essential to understand that Ayahuasca brings the experiences of your inner world into your conscious awareness; this includes the “shadows” within that lie at the root of disorder, imbalance, suffering and pain. We are deeply committed to providing a safe and caring environment to support you in anything that might arise.
The best way to approach Ayahuasca is to develop a relationship with the medicine and not seek to simply take the medicine. When working with Ayahuasca in a healthy manner, you enter into a relationship of reciprocity – receiving the healing and teachings, and giving back through taking responsibility for your “shadow,” a long-term commitment to change, courage to face your fears, and a willingness to find and offer your gifts to the world. True transformation, personal growth and evolution are marked by gradual and grounded changes requiring sustained conscious awareness and actualization.
San Pedro Plant Medicine Ceremony
For over 3,000 years, the spiritual leaders of the Andes Mountains in Peru have led San Pedro plant medicine ceremonies. This ancient healing ritual is a reunion with the self, Mother Nature, and the Divine. It breaks through self-created barriers and reconnects you to your heart. Discover the gentle, yet profound healing powers of San Pedro Ceremony, an ancient ritual and reawakening to move beyond self-limiting beliefs and reconnect with the higher self.
The Q’ero consider San Pedro one of the five most important healing plants from the jungle, and some consider San Pedro the greatest of all plant teachers. Shamans and spiritual leaders of the region have used this cactus plant for generations to provide personal transformation and support the path to healing. Shamans also take San Pedro themselves to expand awareness. During the San Pedro Ceremony, the Q’ero shamans guide participants in a safe environment as they experience visions and spiritual awakening.
Those who have participated in the plant medicine ceremony describe it as a process that opens the mind like a flower. Like the night-blooming flower of the cactus, so too does your mind blossom during the ceremony.
