Awaken a new Tradition in Your Life.
The program is based on the premise that your outer world accurately portrays your inner landscape. We are standing at a critical doorway and we have the power to change our lives, communities, and planet.
Please take a moment to take this quality of life inventory by asking yourself
• Am I present to my life?
• Do I feel financially secure?
• Are my personal relationships fulfilling?
• Do I have a career I love?
• Do I wake up impassioned?
• Do I live my truth?
• Do I feel empowered to change my life?
I answer yes to all the questions above, do you? If not please consider joining us for this life-changing workshop.
This is a weekend of personal growth and community building based on the ancient Andean principle of ayni or reciprocity, as well as other indigenous shamanic principles. Shamans are the messengers between the physical and spirit world who intimately understand the nature of energy. Shifting energy is the most expedient method to use to transform your life. During this weekend you will learn simple shamanic techniques that will allow you access to your inner knowing and energy patterns, shedding those that no longer reflect your vision of yourself, and reinforcing those that do.
We will begin the process of building your personal medicine bundle based on the Andean mesa tradition. The “mesa” is your portable altar, a symbolic representation of your personal connections to nature spirits, sacred places, and people of power with whom you are connected. Altars are important tools in these rapidly changing times, for many reasons. They allow Spirit to know we are “open for business,” they gather our focused intent, and carry the strength and protection of the lineage.
This intensive, residential workshop will help you integrate healing practices from Earth-based wisdom traditions to deepen healing potentials within yourself. By becoming more aware of reflections and relationships of inner and outer landscapes as well as the elements and forces of nature, we are able to begin to contact and translate a well-being that includes and expands the possibilities of the physical world.
You will have the option to continue the program beyond this initial weekend immersion by tele-class, one additional retreat, and an optional trip to Peru. Cost for this powerful weekend is $450, plus lodging and expense

As we Awaken to A New American Tradition, let us move beyond the "me" to "we". We are invited to awaken internally to our individual inner masculine & feminine energies, as well as externally in relationship to one another through true, balanced, and creative partnerships. In this new era of change that we are co-creating, partnership principles can be applied beyond the personal into far greater realms of the natural world/our environment, into business models and teams, amongst religions and into the communities that we inhabit by becoming living embodiments of "ayni" reciprocity.Taking the work home – Preparation for the personal journey.
