"I have long believed that the Universe conspires on your behalf as soon as you come into right relationship with it. In the Andes, this is called Ayni — your intentional aligning with the power and love of creation."
Join us for a transformative week in the Sacred Valley of Peru — a feast of music and shamanic wisdom — with an optional visit to Machu Picchu.
​
We will take part in shamanic ceremonies at ancient ceremonial sites and temples in the clouds, guided by Andean shamans. Each morning begins with yoga, followed by expeditions to ancient temples where we take part in ceremonies with the Andean shamans.
In the early evenings, we immerse ourselves in the healing world of mantras and sacred songs with Deva & Miten, exploring sound, silence, and meditation. In this healing environment, we bathe in a joyful, inspirational, and loving rejuvenation of the spirit.
​
Our home for the week is the Aranwa Hotel, set in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, surrounded by mountain beauty and blessed with abundant sunshine, fresh air, and an idyllic year-round climate.
