This foundational apprenticeship provides tools to develop your connection to nature, spirit, and heartfelt community, offering a practical, compassionate path for navigating these times.. It is based on the teachings of don Oscar Miro-Quesada, founded upon the traditional teachings of Peruvian shamanism and the wisdom of its ancestral lineage. This apprenticeship is for everyone looking to develop their shamanic practice. It provides a profound initiation into the living heart and soul of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of cross-cultural shamanism.

“Pachakuti” means “world reversal” and refers to the time of transformation we are living now. A mesa is an altar for self-exploration, transformation, and personal growth in which we create a new paradigm of one’s relation to the Self and the Universe. This tradition, in all its richness, is an evolving practice of inner and outer activities that restore balance and harmony to our relationships with All That Is.

The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition: Cross-Cultural Shamanic Arts for Personal and Planetary Renewal is a five- part series of intensives in the shamanic arts of restoring harmony, health, and earth stewardship. This workshop series aligns the traditional shamanic arts of Peru and the wisdom of its heritage with the needs of the present day, a transformational moment of planetary and human history.

What is a Sacred Commitment in relation to the Pachakuti Mesa Apprenticeship?

When we embark on a sacred commitment, we are fostering our desire to honor the path of becoming a sanctioned Pachakuti Mesa Carrier. This Pachakuti Mesa apprenticeship is a yearlong journey with five in person immersion weekend intensives.  Each intensive level is an initiatory lineage activation and transmission that must be fulfilled sequentially.  For example, the first level is a prerequisite for the second level.

Pachakuti Mesa Foundational Apprenticeship Description

Part I: The Call to Heal (Releasing the Past): An apprenticeship in the center direction of the mesa, traditional Peruvian perspectives on the flow of energy through the realms, focusing on the kaypacha, the middle world. Students will explore the kaypacha’s elemental matrix and magico-spiritual power and learn about the sun and moon’s presence in the middle world, mapping the cosmos on Earth, and celestial death and rebirth.

Part II: A Balance of Power (Transforming the Present): An apprenticeship in the center direction of the mesa, traditional Peruvian perspectives on the flow of energy through the realms, focusing on the kaypacha, the middle world. Students will explore the kaypacha’s elemental matrix and magico-spiritual power and learn about the sun and moon’s presence in the middle world, mapping the cosmos on Earth, and celestial death and rebirth.

Part III: The Condor’s Quest (Creating the Future)​: This initiation is a deep dive into the paqokuna, don Benito’s contribution to the PMT. The Andean Shaman/Priesthood mystical path, the lineage of the sacred mountains, and the five virtues of the mesa come alive in this intensive, including how to make a desapacho (earth offering). Participants will also journey to and experience the hanaqpacha, the upper world beyond the physical realm, work with the unseen world there and deepen their connection to their own spiritual resources.

Part IV: The Hummingbird’s Ascent (Living the Mystery): Participants will be initiated into the healing arts of this tradition and learn about the lightning bolt of mystical illumination - the flow of kamasqa - the power of Creation. They will work with the elements, the forces of the universe, the body of Mother Earth, and sacred healing objects. In sacred reciprocity participants will create despachos to honor the sacred mountains, the elements, the unseen world, and prepare for a paqowachu, a sacred pilgrimage. 

Part V: The Shamanic Self (Serving the Earth): An experiential intensive into soul and spirit through ritual process, including the spiritual creation, activation, and care of an apacheta (stone altar). Students will work with the power of dimensionality and time, the hampikamayoq breathing techniques, and be exposed to ancient hermetic wisdom. Participants will be further empowered by evoking both seen and unseen sources of cosmic awareness within their mesa, sacred objects and own being, and initiation into the lineage of this revered tradition.
