Medicine of the Andes
A Journey to Awakening
April 5th - 16th, 2026
Our Andean Wisdom Keepers
At the heart of this journey is the sacred guidance of our Peruvian family—wisdom keepers, medicine carriers, and ceremonial stewards from the communities of Noqankani and Pumadventures. Rooted in the highlands of Chinchero and the ancient traditions of the Andes, they walk in deep communion with Pachamama, the Apus (mountain spirits), and the sacred elements of nature.
These beloved teachers and ceremonial guides carry a living lineage—one that has been passed down through countless generations in prayer, ritual, and service to the Earth. With every offering, every word in Quechua, every step on the land, they weave the unseen threads between the physical and spiritual realms, opening portals of remembrance and healing.
Their presence within our circle is not only a gift, but a profound blessing. They hold the ceremonial container with integrity, humility, and deep love, inviting each of us to walk in right relationship—with ourselves, with the Earth, and with all that is sacred. Through their guidance, we are invited to reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world, to awaken ancient memory within our bones, and to remember who we are.
It is through this sacred alliance that our journey becomes more than a retreat; it becomes a pilgrimage home—to the heart, to spirit, and to the ancestral wisdom that lives within and all around us.
Your Guides
Walking beside you on this sacred path are Kiera and Lori, dedicated facilitators and space holders who have each spent decades in deep relationship with plant medicine, ancestral healing traditions, and the sacred art of transformation. Their devotion is born not only of study, but of lived experience—of sitting in ceremony, walking with elders, and tending the flame of inner healing with reverence and humility.
Together, they co-create a safe and nurturing container rooted in reverence—for the Earth, for the unseen realms, and for each participant’s unique path of healing and remembrance. Their guidance bridges the ancient and the modern, helping you access your inner wisdom, transform what is ready to complete, and return to the truth of who you are.
