This session builds upon your initial awakening by exploring how all of life is vibration, relationship, and sacred exchange. You begin to understand that true power is not something to control or possess, but something to harmonize withâthrough reverence, awareness, and right relationship with spirit. Â
The shamanic universe is replete with magical, unexpected and non-ordinary possibilities when compared to our conscious waking reality. In order to benefit from this unlimited panorama of opportunities for growing your soul, we must learn to engage the powers, forces and visionary guidance in this vast sea of human possibility with balance and discernment.

Â
In this module, the journey deepens into the path of the heartâwhere love (munay) becomes the guiding force of your practice and your life. You are invited to move beyond simply understanding into embodiment, awakening a direct experience of wholeness that is no longer dependent on external conditions. Through the sacred art of composing your Pachakuti Mesa, you begin to recognize your altar as a mirror of your soul and a living expression of your relationship with the cosmos.
This is the condorâs path: to rise into a higher perspective while remaining rooted in love, compassion, and service to the Earth.

The Hummingbirdâs Ascent |Â Transforming Mind
Â
In this module, you are guided into the transformation of the mindâshifting from ego-driven thinking into a higher, heart-aligned awareness. Through the medicine of the hummingbird, you learn that true clarity does not come from control or intellectual grasping, but from aligning the mind with love, beauty, and direct spiritual knowing. This is the ascent from ordinary thinking into inspired wisdomâwhere the mind becomes a servant of the soul rather than its master.
By trusting soul, we re-member; in honoring spirit, vision is bestowed; and through the opening of our hearts, the healing power of love is granted. And thus, our next step is to apprentice the art of making manifest our thoughts, insights and divine imaginings in a manner that positively transforms current reality. The power of intention and disciplined imagination shall be thoroughly apprenticed in this fourth module of our series.

We are all native children of Mother Earth, all indigenous participants of her tribal dreaming â blessed by a shared experience of common unity with Pachamama and consciously dedicated to her sustainability. As a global family, our sense of belongingness is a true re-membering, by which each thought, word and action finds radiant reflection in All Our Relations.Â

In the memorable words of T.S. Eliot, âWe shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring, will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time.â Our sojourn throughout the shamanic dimensions of healing must come to âan endâ; but in reality, it remains an eternal beginning, a constant return to the One Source. We are now fully prepared to carry forth the magic, mystery and medicine of Universal Shamanism to the Four Directions.Â
Wisdom Transmissions:Â
- Birthing the Cosmos â Initiation into the Immortality of Self
- The Art of Correspondence: As Above So Below â a synergy of the One and the Many

Praise for don Oscar Miro-Quesada
âIÂ have found the perennial wisdom teachings and shamanic ritual practices of don Oscar to hasten our shift to a higher vibration, our birth into the life of Spirit transparent to itself in the material world; to help humankind embody a shared experience for all of life.â
~Â Sandra Ingerman, M.A.
â...I often experience going to new levels of understanding, genuinely feeling mesmerized by don Oscarâs masterful weaving together of Andean medicine practice and other wisdom traditions, including Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, cross-cultural shamanism, mythology, and western psychology. My own words here fail to express the totality of his heartfelt contribution to the sacred path. Oscar is a true teacher.â
~ Jose Luis Stevens, Ph.D.
âOscar Miro-Quesada is one of the few Western psychologists who has endured the arduous training and initiations required to become a master shaman. His teachings are powerful initiations into the indigenous wisdom we desperately need to weave a new human story into the 21st Century and beyond.â
