The Heart of the Healer Shamanic Mystery School Presents

With don Oscar Miro-Quesada | September 4-6, 2026

“As we construct our altars, we celebrate relationship and re-claim deep connection with ourselves, our communities, and our beloved Pachamama. As we call forth the power of nature into our altars, we recognize that we are not isolated or alone. The construction of our altars helps us to realize that we are luminous strands within the whole. Through our altars, we recognize ourselves as spirit embodied. We cry tears of gratitude as we celebrate our presence and our full participation in the physical world.” 
~don Oscar Miro-Quesada

Experience yourself in a living web of reciprocity with Pachamama, the sacred directions, and one another within the ever-turning world and multiverse.

This singular apprenticeship experience with don Oscar Miro-Quesada is intuitively designed to serve as an immersive, soul-deepening exploration of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition™: its relational intelligence, ritual practice, and communal re-Membering during these transformative times of Pachakuti.

‘Pachakuti’ means ‘world reversal’ in Quechua, and it refers to the time of transformation we are living now. A Mesa is an altar for self-exploration, transformation and personal growth in which we create a new paradigm of one’s relation to the Self and the Universe. Based in the cosmologies of Peruvian shamanism, this tradition, in all its richness, is an evolving practice of inner and outer activities that restore balance and harmony to our relationships with All That Is.

This intensive is intended in vision and purpose as a beneficent self-transformational shamanic exploration of Andean cosmovision, with emphasis on attaining deeper gnosis of the cosmic evolutionary presence in our lives of the constellated energetic powers experienced as Kamaqen, Pacha, Kawsay, Supay, Kallpa, and Qonteqsewiraqocha (“the art of befriending entropy”).

The setting will be ceremonially orchestrated to guide participants into a direct, embodied encounter with four interwoven realities: that life is fundamentally relational; that the mesa is a living cartography of reciprocity; that discord and disequilibrium are not failures of the path, but initiatory thresholds within it; and that spiritual maturation within the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition is inseparable from ayllu-consciousness, community coherence, and reverent service to the more-than-human world.

This is not a weekend of passive instruction. It is a covenantal field of practice. Apprentices are invited to experience themselves not as isolated seekers collecting teachings, but as participants in a living web of reciprocity with Pachamama, with the sacred directions, with their own mesas, with one another, and with the ever-turning world and spirally churning multiverse itself. The tone will be intimate, intelligently soul honoring, and devotional, but never theatrical; the Guardians of Ayni are unimpressed by spiritual posing. Rather, we will share an immersive multidimensional apprenticeship in perception, humility, disciplined listening, and relational accountability.

This PMT apprenticeship is ideally suited for participants sharing multiple levels of shamanic experience and ritual prowess, including new or early-stage apprentices in the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition; experienced practitioners needing re-rooting in first principles; established regional community members preparing for deeper ceremonial responsibilities; and sincere spiritual aspirants drawn to embodied, earth-honoring relational practice.

A Final Loving Reminder:
ÑAUPAQMAN PURIY, QHEPAMAN CHAYAY…which translates in Spanish as ‘Camina hacia adelante y llegarás atrás’…or in English, ‘Walk forward, and you shall arrive behind.’ This is another way of internalizing the gnostic truth contained in The Heart of the Healer (THOTH) Shamanic Mystery School’s visionary axiom: ‘OUR DESTINY LIES IN OUR ORIGINS.’

THOTH and don Oscar enthusiastically anticipate welcoming all earnest aspirants of heartfelt initiation into the Great Work to this singular apprenticeship. Until then, may you continue to walk in grace and beauty, beloveds—Hinayá!

Praise for don Oscar Miro-Quesada

“Oscar’s medicine speaks to us from his Heart Island – the cosmology and Earth-centered spiritual practices of Peru – to offer us ways of healing and knowing that can touch all peoples and help us reconnect to the world's soul. He reminds us that dealing with the sacred is no substitute for direct experience. He gives us sage counsel for our soul odysseys, leaving us free to go beyond the maps.”

~ Robert Moss, Dream Teacher & Author

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., Shamanic Teacher & Author

“Oscar embodies and reveals the processes learned in his epic journey through reality fields from the Earth to the Star people, from contemporary academic knowledge to the depth and power of indigenous wisdom and ritual. Oscar's work should be offered to all beings that are attempting to heal the wounds of the past.

~ Barbara Marx Hubbard, Co-founder of Foundation for Conscious Evolution
