Perú... A Land of Magic
"The Return of The Light "
A Spiritual Retreat in the Andes of Perú
Guided by Pierre Garreaud and Janice Johnson
Sacred Valley of the Incas * Machu Picchu, Perú
April 13 - 22, 2023 * 10 DAYS/9 NIGHTS
Once in a while, it is time to step away from our lives and take care to realign within ourselves so that our spirit, mind, emotions, and body all click back into higher alignment.
Our inner journey will be guided by local shamans, who offer us ceremonies and healing sessions that are guided by ancient traditions.
We also include our well-tested tools of breathwork, Shamanic Sound Healing, and Andean Energy Activations in our guided program to help us integrate what we experience.
We envision 2 – 3 hours per day of inner practices, guided by Pierre and Janice.
The outer journey will lead us to the sacred valley of Peru, some of its magical lagoons as well as The Huchuy Qosqo mountain where feminine and masculine powers are being balanced through ritual.
We will stay on the mountain for a night and journey into our inner connections with our male and female power.
The culmination of our inner and outer work will take us to Machu Pichu for a ceremony in the Temple of the Moon as well as an initiation on the mother stone of this very special Temple.
Machu Pichu is a sacred place and holds a unique vibration that has helped many people find a clear alignment between body and spirit, opening perceptions beyond time and space.
