The Call to Heal | Trusting Soul

In this first module, we shall explore the relevance of a shamanic worldview as a global catalyst for human spiritualization. We’ll overview the various forms of shamanic initiation including illness and crisis. Classic perspectives on dismemberment and ritualized death for the attainment of soul vision and healing power shall also be presented. Additionally, we’ll give an introduction to the cosmovision of Pachakuti Mesa Tradition and ritual healing arts that will serve as the foundation through which to progressively awaken the universal shaman within.

Wisdom Transmissions:

• Releasing the Past – moving beyond the illusion of victimhood and embracing the choice of sacred volunteerism
• The Art of Communion: Quietude, Stillness and Presence – befriending the great originating mystery

Guided Process: Ukhu Pacha Ch’usay: An Immersion Within – practice for accessing inner dimensions of being and the archetypal realms of shadow (a ‘lower world’ journey)

SESSION 2 (Audio)

A Balance of Power | Honoring Spirit

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. In this second apprenticeship module, we will share time-proven tools and techniques for harmoniously harnessing such non-ordinary potentials and living in a balanced way.

Wisdom Transmissions:

• Transforming the Present – the disciplined use of imagination, sacred word and ritual gesture
• The Art of Consecration – ceremonial expressions of gratitude for evoking sacred reciprocity in our lives

SESSION 3 (Video)

The Condor’s Quest | Opening Heart

It is a well-known fact that true healing is a labor of love. Having learned to say YES to the call – having heeded the great dreaming to embrace a transformational vocation of relationship with oneself, others and the universe as a whole – we must now learn to lovingly establish trustworthy spiritual alliances with unseen helpers and guides who inhabit the inner and outer dimensions of our being. From an openhearted place of appreciation for the beauty and grace contained within our Pachakuti Mesa Tradition shamanic altar ground, we will call upon the love which is our essence, in service to personal and planetary renewal.

Wisdom Transmissions:

• Creating the Future – invoking alliances of transformational opportunity in partnership with seen and unseen shamanic realms
• The Art of Composition – tools for ritual patterning and visionary configuration of a sacred shamanic altar ground for personal and planetary healing transformation

Guided Process: Hanaq Pacha Ch’usay: A Celestial Embrace – practice in shamanic flight to access superior realms of universal wisdom and spiritual guidance (an ‘upper world’ journey)

SESSION 4 (Audio)

The Hummingbird’s Ascent | Transforming Mind

Building upon our accrued wisdom and the shamanic tools learned thus far, we are prepared to embark on the journey of transforming mind. 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 known to Pachakuti Mesa Tradition adepts shall be thoroughly apprenticed and mastered in this fourth module of our series.

Wisdom Transmissions:

• Living the Mystery – consciously embracing the wonderfully unpredictable nature of life and finding sustenance in the cosmic order behind the illusion of separateness
• The Art of Connection – shamanic techniques for maximizing our human evolution as luminous strands within the ‘great sacred web of creation’

Guided Process: T’eqsimuyu Ch’usay: Returning to One – practice for the shamanic dreaming of a ‘New Earth’ (a ‘cosmic seeding’ journey)

SESSION 5 (Audio)

Our Shamanic Self | Healing Body

The journey of initiation into perennial shamanic wisdom teachings and ritual practices gives us an embodied understanding of the primacy of consciousness behind all things. This, in turn, deepens our ability to effect healing influence within our physical bodies. Participants in this fifth apprenticeship module shall be introduced to the workings of kawsay – vital life force – for the strengthening and evolution of our human neurophysiology. Awakened in the heart by the experience of inextricable solidarity with our living Earth, we shall learn shamanic techniques for harnessing Gaia’s sacred medicine, allowing us to deepen and sustain our attainment of vitality and balanced living.

Wisdom Transmissions:

• Serving the Earth – teaching love by the way we live
• The Art of Cooperation

Guided Process: Ch’aska Runa Ch’usay: A Starlight Re-membering – practice for the realization of Self as Creation (a ‘contact’ journey)

SESSION 6 (Video)

All Our Relations | Awakening Belongingness

We are all native children of Mother Earth, all indigenous participants of her tribal dreaming – 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. Based on our shared willingness to stand together, in deep reverence for the Great Sacred Hoop of Life, we realize our Earth walk is a path of sacred activism.

Wisdom Transmissions:

• Sustaining the Tribe – Evolving our Human Destiny
• The Art of Compatibility – Exercises in Resonance, Reverence and Revelation

SESSION 7 (Audio)

A Universe Within | Evolving Presence

In the memorable words of T.S. Eliot, “We 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.” Indeed. Although this noble sojourn throughout virtual shamanic dimensions of healing must come to ‘an end’, in reality, it remains an eternal beginning, a 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. In doing so, we forever help crystallize The Shift, for we have learned to embrace a life-way that leads from victimhood to volunteerism, from separation to wholeness, and from fear to love. This is our destiny, this is our decree, Pachakuti Mesa Tradition carriers and Gaia’s children. Infinite gratitude for your evolutionary participation in transforming our world through sacred living!

Wisdom Transmissions:

• Birthing the Cosmos – Initiation into the Immortality of Self
• The Art of Correspondence: As Above So Below — a synergy of the One and the Many

Guided Process: Tiyayakuy Ch’usay – practice in the evolution of universal sentience (a ‘welcoming’ journey)

“I 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.”

~ Sandra Ingerman, M.A.

“...I often experience going to new levels of understanding, genuinely feeling mesmerized by don Oscar’s 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.”

~ Jose Luis Stevens, Ph.D.

“Oscar 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.”

~ Alberto Villoldo Ph.D.
