THE BALANCE POINT: PERU
FINDING THE AXIS MUNDI
May 16-28 2019... and again in 2020!
​

A JOURNEY of AWAKENING IN A SACRED LAND...

   In the Andes of Peru there are ancient sacred sites and places of immense power, where the land, the mountains, and waters are alive with archetypal energies that spiritually activate us. In these awakened elevations we find the axis mundi, where Heaven and Earth unite. 
  We are being called forth in these pivotal times of tremendous change, to find our balance point,
our own "axis mundi", that will empower us to navigate the chaos in the world around us, and to restore the sacred relationship of reciprocity with the Pachamama, our Mother Earth... and with all beings.
  On this quest we will be using special sacred sites as our activating coordinates, while working deeply with the symbology of the Incan Cross, called the "Chakana" in Peruvian spiritual cosmology; as a compass to guide us in unlocking the Chakana's mysteries and spiritual codes, in order to find the "Noccan Kani", the "I AM", within its center. It is through this portal that we can experience our Divinity and Oneness
 . 


JOIN TWO AMAZING SHAMANIC MEDICINE WOMEN -
Pat Cockrell and Petra LeBeau ...as they travel with paqo Don Alberto Fernandez Santa Cruz, and three other Peruvian Wisdom-Keepers, the male and female shamans called "paqos", who are the healer-priests of the Andes, to many of Peru's most powerful sacred sites. Experience the potent spiritual activation that Peru evokes — as you participate in ancient ceremonies, rites, and rituals, at these special places of power and healing.

Then, traveling a short distance from Pisac to the Temple of the Falcon high above the village overlooking the Sacred Valley, we will call upon the Pachamama and the Spirits of the Andes, as we participate in a despacho ceremony - offering our gratitude and asking for guidance and blessings upon our journey.

May 18 – Day 3  Apu Pachatusan – Tipon - Chapel of Señor de Huanca
​
At these two places of power we will begin to prepare ourselves, with the help of the Paqos, to clear away the worldly dross so we may enter into the inner state of “Noccan Kani”, the sacred place of “I am”, and find our inner balance point - represented by the hole in the center of the Chakana. We will work with the elemental spirits of water, and the spirit of the mountain, Apu Pachatusan, in these sacred places. 
Upon the powerful site of the ancient celestial altar of Pachatuscan a chapel was built by the Spanish. It is said that the Christ appeared to a native Peruvian here, and so it is called Lord of Huanca.

At the ancient solar observatory of Urco, we see the symbol of the Chakana in the stonework and experience the energetic significance of its precise location here, where important ley lines converge. Then, traveling further into the Sacred Valley, we visit the Earth Temple of Moray, and through ritual ceremony with our Paqos, we will plant the seeds of our becoming in this fertile feminine womb space.

May 21 – Day 6  Mount Veronica / Apu Wakaywilka
When we were first conceiving this sacred tour we consulted the coca leaves with don Alberto to ask which Apu we should specifically travel to and work with, and it was Apu Wakaywillka that called us to come to her. Named the mountain of “Sacred Tears," this beautiful mountain has a way of opening and softening the heart, and washing away the veils so we can see through the eyes of our heart. “Munay," or universal love, is central to Peruvian spirituality and practices, and it is through the heart that we experience our interconnectedness with all things. As we camp under the protective embrace of Apu Wakaywillka, we will be led by the Paqos in practices, rituals, and ceremonies designed to open the heart center. At night we can look up to see the Milky Way like a huge river of stars stretching across the sky. It is where these mountains rise up that heaven and earth come together, and we can experience the Axis Mundi. 
  • Breakfast at hotel
  • Short bus ride (~45 mins) to the base of Mt Veronica also known as Apu Wakaywilka (mountain of Sacred Tears).  We will hike to our base camp for about 1 hour through beautiful, gently sloping landscapes with a gorgeous view of the mountain as well as Apu Salkantay. It is said that Wakaywillka communicates to  Salkantay through thunder.

May 24 – Day 9  Lake Titicaca – Floating Islands of Urus - 
​Amantani Island

We will be spending two days here connecting deeply to the energy of the Lake Titicaca. As you will gather from reading below, this is a very important destination on our journey. 
Much legend and lore surrounds this mystical Lake. In Andean mythology Lake Titicaca is the birth place of the Incas, where the gods Mallku Kapac and Mama Ocllo emerged from the lake to start the Inca Empire.  Legend also has it that the remains of the Lemurian civilization lie at the bottom of Lake Titicaca, and at the time Lemuria was sinking, one of the seven Great Masters of Lemuria, Lord Aramu Muru, was given the mission to bring the sacred Golden Solar Disc from the Temple of Illumination to Lake Titicaca for safe keeping. During the time of the Incas, the Solar Disc was transferred to Cusco, and placed in the Qorikancha, the main Temple of the Sun, where it stayed until the coming of the Spanish. At that time, it was returned to Lake Titicaca and placed in the Eternal Etheric City deep inside the Lake. The golden disk is reputed to contain great cosmic wisdom, much as a galatic computer, which now in our times is being re-activated. There are many sightings in the area of UFOs and bright lights going in and out of the lake.
This special lake contains the crossroads of two of the earth’s greatest ley lines, and it is considered to be the sacral chakra of our planet - holding the womb space for the earth. The healing waters of Lake Titicaca are considered sacred, and it is a living well of water sourcing deep from within the earth.

May 26 – Day 11  Amaru Muru "Gate of the Gods" - Puno
Much of our journey culminates here at Amaru Muru. Known as a Stargate, or Gate of the Gods, it is considered a multi-dimensional doorway, or portal, through which the renowned high priest, Lord Amaru Muru, entered and was never seen again after hiding the The Golden Solar Disc from the Spanish in the depths of Lake Titicaca. The natives say that many great spiritual heroes have passed through this doorway into the land of the gods. 
We will do a rite of passage ceremony here using the energy of this amazing sacred site to symbolically go through the “eye of the needle” - releasing all those things that no longer serve us, in order to enter the Noccan Kani - the infinite time and space within the “I am” represented by center of the Chakana, to birth a new becoming.
