“Skilled shamans develop a profound ability to pierce the veil of reality, discover the hidden dimensions between the worlds and then gather information and the support of unseen forces to restore health and vitality in our bodies and our communities.”

MODULE 1: (Audio)

The Call to Heal | Trusting Soul

This opening module serves as a sacred threshold into the path of the Universal Shaman. You are welcomed into a living field of transformation—one that invites you to remember your inherent wholeness and your capacity to serve life through love.

Through breath, invocation, and guided inner experience, you begin to shift beyond the limitations of conditioned perception and into a more expansive awareness of yourself as a luminous, co-creative being. This is the beginning of learning to trust your soul—not as an idea, but as a lived, embodied reality.

You are invited to enter this path gently, with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to be transformed.

In this module, you will:

  • Receive an initiation into the path of Universal Shamanism as a way of selfless, heart-centered service
  • Begin cultivating a shamanic state of awareness through breath, presence, and imagination
  • Explore the principle of kawsay—living energy—and your relationship to it
  • Be introduced to the three worlds (hanaqpacha, kaypacha, ukhupacha) as dimensions of consciousness
  • Learn that this path is rooted in direct experience, rather than belief

Practices & experiences include:

  • Foundational breath practices for restoring balance and wholeness
  • A Quechua invocation calling forth your relationship with Great Spirit and the living cosmos
  • An introduction to the Pachakuti Mesa as a sacred altar and center of shamanic practice
  • A guided inner journey into the ukhu pacha (inner world) to begin transforming shadow into ally
  • Energetic practices of reciprocity (ayni)—receiving and offering in sacred balance

What you’ll walk away with:

  • A felt sense of connection to your soul and the greater web of life
  • An understanding of shamanism as a path of loving service and conscious participation
  • Tools to begin working with your inner landscape in a grounded and compassionate way
  • A new relationship to challenge and “shadow” as part of your healing and evolution
  • The beginnings of your own sacred practice, rooted in awareness, breath, and intention

Integration & reflection:

You are encouraged to begin a journaling practice, track your experiences, and gently gather or envision your mesa (sacred altar). This is a time of opening—of allowing what has been unseen or unacknowledged to come into awareness with compassion.

Transformation on this path does not come from striving toward an outcome, but from showing up fully and allowing the process to unfold.

SESSION 2: (Audio)

A Balance of Power | Honoring Spirit

In this module, you are invited to deepen your relationship with the unseen forces of life by learning to walk in balance with spiritual power.

Building upon your initial awakening, this session explores 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 with—through reverence, awareness, and right relationship with spirit.

Through teachings, ritual practice, and direct experience, you are guided to embody a balanced way of being where your thoughts, words, and actions become aligned with the greater web of life

In this module, you will:

  • Explore the nature of power as a balanced, relational force rather than personal control
  • Deepen your understanding of ayni (sacred reciprocity) as the foundation of spiritual practice
  • Learn how vibration, intention, and awareness shape your lived reality
  • Be introduced to the Pachakuti Mesa Cosmovision as a living archetype of the universe
  • Begin cultivating a conscious relationship with spirit through reverence and embodied practice

Practices & experiences include: 

  • Gazing and journeying with the Pachakuti Mesa Cosmovision as a sacred map of consciousness
  • Foundational teachings on the elements, directions, and archetypal forces within the shamanic universe
  • The practice of consecration using sacred elements (such as cornmeal, tobacco, and water)
  • The “I Am” ritual process for aligning heart, mind, body, and spirit
  • Guided visualization to become a stabilizing, healing presence within moments of chaos

What you’ll walk away with:

  • A grounded understanding of how to engage spiritual power with humility and balance
  • Tools to center yourself and restore harmony in challenging situations
  • A deeper connection to the living field of energy within and around you
  • Confidence in relating to unseen forces without fear, domination, or avoidance
  • An embodied sense of yourself as a participant in the co-creation of reality

Integration & reflection:

You are encouraged to continue journaling, noticing the subtle ways your awareness, perception, and energetic sensitivity are evolving.

Begin working more intentionally with your mesa—placing your medicine pieces with care, engaging in simple acts of consecration, and allowing your relationship with spirit to unfold organically. This is not about perfection, but about deepening trust and presence.

The Condor’s Quest | Opening Heart

In this module, the journey deepens into the path of the heart—where love (munay) becomes the guiding force of your practice and your life.

You are invited to move beyond 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 condor’s path: to rise into a higher perspective while remaining rooted in love, compassion, and service to the Earth.

In this module, you will:

  • Deepen your relationship to munay (love) as the foundation of shamanic practice
  • Understand the Pachakuti Mesa as a mirror of your inner world and soul essence
  • Explore the sacred structure of the mesa through the five directions and their deeper meaning
  • Learn the symbolic teaching of the human life journey as part of a greater spiritual unfolding
  • Begin embodying wholeness as your natural state, beyond the illusion of separation

Practices & experiences include:

  • Energetic cleansing and preparation using traditional elements such as Palo Santo
  • A guided journey into the hanaqpacha (upper world) to receive light and expanded awareness
  • Mirror work to recognize your own divinity and reflect it through your mesa practice
  • Toning and activating the five directions (Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Ether)
  • Working with your misarumi (mesa centerpiece) as a living anchor of your practice
  • Practices for “dreaming” your life and future into being through disciplined imagination

What you’ll walk away with:

  • A deeper, embodied connection to your heart as a source of guidance and healing
  • The experience of your mesa as a living, relational field—not just a symbolic altar
  • Greater confidence in working with the directions and their associated energies
  • An expanded sense of yourself as both human and luminous, connected to all worlds
  • A felt understanding of how love, imagination, and ritual co-create reality

Integration & reflection:

You are encouraged to spend time with your mesa as a living presence—listening, sensing, and allowing it to guide you.

Continue working with toning, breath, and simple ritual gestures. Allow your imagination to become a disciplined, sacred tool for shaping your experience of reality. This is not about “getting it right,” but about deepening your relationship with the unseen in a way that is grounded, embodied, and heart-led.

 

SESSION 4: (Audio)

The Hummingbird’s Ascent | Transforming Mind

In this module, you are guided into the transformation of the mind—shifting 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 wisdom—where the mind becomes a servant of the soul rather than its master.

You are invited to embody a new way of perceiving and creating reality—one that is rooted in presence, imagination, and sacred relationship with the unseen.

In this module, you will:

  • Learn to transform habitual, ego-driven thinking into heart-centered awareness
  • Explore the role of the higher mind (hanan uma) as a source of wisdom and clarity
  • Understand the symbolic and energetic role of hummingbird as a guide for transformation
  • Integrate multiple spiritual frameworks into a unified, inclusive shamanic worldview
  • Deepen your ability to perceive and create from a place of alignment rather than control

Practices & experiences include: 

  • Breath and alignment practices connecting heart and mind
  • The teaching story of the Hummingbird and Condor as a transmission of higher wisdom
  • Working with your mesa to support mental clarity and energetic balance
  • Placement and activation of hummingbird and mirror elements within your altar
  • Guided “cosmic seeding” journey to envision and energetically cultivate a new Earth
  • Toning the directions to strengthen connection with spiritual allies and archetypal forces

What you’ll walk away with:

  • A felt shift from mental control into intuitive, heart-guided awareness
  • Tools to calm, center, and realign the mind in everyday life
  • Greater trust in imagination as a sacred and practical force for transformation
  • A deeper relationship with your mesa as a field for clarity, insight, and visioning
  • The ability to “seed” new possibilities in your life through focused awareness and intention

Integration & reflection:

You are encouraged to notice when the mind becomes reactive, controlling, or disconnected—and gently return to the heart.

Work with your mesa as a place to restore clarity. Use breath, sound, and simple ritual gestures to realign your awareness. Over time, the mind becomes not something to silence or overcome, but something to refine and harmonize in service to your soul.

SESSION 5: (Audio)

Our Shamanic Self | Healing Body

In this module, you are invited to embody the truth that your body itself is a vessel of healing—an expression of the sacred relationship between spirit and Earth.

Through movement, posture, ritual, and direct experience, you come to understand that healing is not something you “do,” but something you become. Your body is revealed as a living bridge between worlds—capable of receiving, transmitting, and anchoring spiritual energy into the physical realm.

This is the awakening of the shamanic self as an embodied presence—where your thoughts, actions, and physical being become expressions of wholeness in service to life.

In this module, you will:

  • Explore the body as a sacred conduit between the spiritual and material worlds
  • Understand healing as a return to wholeness across all levels of being
  • Learn the deeper meaning of embodiment as a shamanic practice
  • Recognize your place within the interconnected web of human, animal, plant, mineral, and elemental life
  • Integrate the principles of Universal Shamanism into your physical presence and daily life

Practices & experiences include:

  • A sequence of sacred body postures honoring the different realms of life (human, animal, plant, mineral, and spirit)
  • Working with breath, sound, and mesa activation to anchor healing into the body
  • Mirror practices to recognize and awaken your inner divinity
  • Integration of the seven directions of awareness (sensing, feeling, imaging, intuiting, thinking, presencing, being)
  • Creation and activation of your I Am embodiment piece (Ăąoqani enqa)

What you’ll walk away with:

  • A lived understanding of your body as a sacred instrument of healing
  • Greater presence, grounding, and connection to the Earth
  • The ability to embody spiritual awareness in practical, physical ways
  • A deeper sense of unity with all forms of life
  • Tools to integrate healing into your daily actions, posture, and presence

Integration & reflection:

You are encouraged to bring awareness into your physical body throughout the day—how you stand, move, breathe, and relate to the Earth.

Engage your mesa not only as a place of ritual, but as an extension of your own body. Allow your practices to become fluid and natural, like a living dance of connection.

Through reflection, journaling, and honest self-inquiry, begin releasing aspects of identity that no longer serve your path. This module invites a deeper level of truth, embodiment, and transformation.

SESSION 6 (Video)

All Our Relations | Awakening Belongingness

In this module, your journey expands beyond the individual into a direct experience of belonging—to community, to the Earth, and to the greater web of life.

You are invited to remember yourself not as separate, but as a luminous strand within an interconnected, living cosmos. Through ritual, shared presence, and heart-centered awareness, you begin to embody what it means to walk as an Earth steward—one who lives in reverence, reciprocity, and sacred relationship with all beings.

This is the awakening of belongingness: the realization that you are not alone on this path, but part of a global family of spirit, united in love and purpose.

In this module, you will:

  • Deepen your understanding of “all our relations” as a lived, embodied reality
  • Experience yourself as part of a unified field of human, ancestral, and cosmic connection
  • Explore the role of community in stabilizing and guiding the spiritual path

What you’ll walk away with:

  • A felt sense of belonging within a living, sacred universe
  • Greater connection to community—both seen and unseen
  • Confidence in engaging ritual as a way of serving others and the Earth
  • A deeper understanding of reciprocity as the foundation of all relationships
  • The experience of yourself as an active participant in the healing of the world

Integration & reflection:

You are encouraged to engage in simple acts of connection—sharing presence, offering gratitude, and recognizing the sacred in others.

Begin or deepen your relationship with an apacheta, allowing it to become a living expression of your connection to place, lineage, and the Earth. Let your practices extend beyond the personal into service, community, and collective care.

This module invites you to live not as an isolated self, but as part of a sacred whole—walking in beauty with all your relations.

SESSION 7 (Audio)

A Universe Within | Evolving Presence

In this final module, you are invited to step fully into your identity as a Universal Shaman—living, breathing, and embodying the path in your everyday life.

The journey comes full circle as you recognize that everything you have been cultivating is not something outside of you to achieve, but something already alive within you. Your presence itself becomes the medicine. Your thoughts, words, and actions become expressions of sacred reciprocity, shaping the world through love, awareness, and conscious participation.

This is the realization of evolving presence: to live as a reflection of the Divine in all moments, in relationship with all beings, and in service to the unfolding of life itself.

In this module, you will:

  • Integrate the full path of Universal Shamanism into a lived, embodied way of being
  • Understand your role as a steward, guide, and “sacred parent” to all forms of life

What you’ll walk away with:

  • A deep knowing of yourself as a living expression of universal consciousness
  • The ability to embody shamanic awareness in everyday life
  • Greater trust in your role as a co-creator of reality
  • A sense of purpose rooted in service, love, and sacred reciprocity

You are invited to carry this work into the world—not as something separate from your life, but as the way you live your life.

Let your presence be your practice.
Let your relationships be your ceremony.
Let your actions reflect your love for all beings.

Take time to engage in simple, meaningful rituals—offerings, time in nature, acts of care, and moments of stillness. Continue refining your awareness, not through striving, but through presence.

This is not the end of the journey—it is the beginning of living it.

Praise for don Oscar Miro-Quesada

“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.”
