Tha Path of Light:
An Ancient Andean Healing Intensive
January 6 - 17, 2011
This Journey provides an extraordinary opportunity to learn and experience the sacred traditions of Ancient Andean healing, deepen our connection with Pachamama (Mother Earth) and rediscover our "Path of Light".
To the Yachaks of the High Andes, the Path of Light is the Path of the Shaman, a way of living that awakens the divine within to guide us in bringing forth our own unique expression to the world so that we may be a beacon for others.
Don Esteban and don Jorge will share teachings their ancestors have passed down for countless generations, teachings that utilize the power, energy and wisdom of the elements. Like their ancestors before us we will experience a path of ancient initiation and healing.
Our journey begins in the Valley of the Dawn, a powerful vortex in the heart of Ecuador's sacred Andean volcanoes to learn from two of the world's most powerful Master Yachaks of the High Andes, Don Esteban & don Jorge Tamayo.
Cost: $2,250 (including all expenses except airfare to Ecuador and $500 Shamans exchange)
