âShamanism is a universal human experience. You donât have to be born in a tribal nation or be a full-blooded member of a native community. Weâre
all native children of this Earth.â
~don Oscar Miro-Quesada
An initiation into the seasonal alignment of ceremony and the creation of apachetas and offrendas to amplify your Earth-honoring ritual service.
Recommended Prerequisite Foundational Courses: Pachakuti Mesa Tradition Starter Bundle or Awakening Your Universal Shamanic Self On-demand Training or The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition In-person Apprenticeship
Reverence, Ritual & Renewal will apprentice participants in long-practiced Andean shamanic rituals and the ceremonial activation of sacred places and powers associated with Pachamamaâs subtle energy body. Called Seqâe Ăan by Peruâs ancestral wisdom keepers, the ritual feeding of this luminous energetic matrix is considered vital for maintaining Mother Earthâs health, as well as a means of informing the evolution of all life on Earth.
Also of great importance are Wakas, ancient temples, natural landscape shrines, revered pilgrimage destinations, stone cairns and sacred ceremonial sites. These repositories of sacred power play a part in the human effort to understand and connect with the divine cosmos and experience the interdependence of self, culture, and nature.
This course is specifically designed to apprentice you in powerful rituals of reverence related to the proper ceremonial activation of Seqâe Ăan and Wakas. Through wisdom transmissions, imaginal journeys, ritual demonstrations, and practical applications, youâll harness and bring forth a host of sacred healing powers and spirit bridges into Pachamamaâs subtle energy body.
Reverence, Ritual & Renewal offers an unparalleled opportunity to further your journey on your shamanic path and receive teachings from Peruvian shamanic practitioner, teacher, and great lover of life, don Oscar Miro-Quesada, who distills the cosmology of his Kamasqa and Paqokuna ancestors into ritual practices.
Youâll emerge with:
- An understanding of the Andean concept and core practice of Ayni (sacred reciprocity)
- A toolbox of rituals and practices to bring healing and balance to your life and our world
- The experience of creating an apacheta, akin to inserting acupuncture âneedlesâ into the Earth to address areas of environmental distress and human suffering
- Deeper work with the Pachakuti mesa (ceremonial altar) to assist you in the shamanic skill of magical flight and other travels behind the veil for distance-healings
- The capacity to create five unique types of Andean Paqokuna Earth offerings
- The ancient knowledge of aligning ritual and ceremony with seasons and cosmic events
