Sacred Locations
On This Journey

  • Navel of the Earth – according to the Incas, is a warm and lovely city. The memories of its ancient inhabitants are still alive. The Incas developed an advanced awareness of energy and the knowledge of how to utilize each energetic vibration for growth and transformation. Each temple was built at a specific point of power and are in direct alignment with each other and the Stars, as above so below.

  • (Shamanic Initiation Site)The Crystal City - was a Incan University where knowledgeable men and women practiced daily spirituality. Before entering Machu Picchu, we will ask permission of Machu Picchu’s spiritual guides to allow us to enter its sacred walls. As the Sun rises through the holy mountains around Machu Picchu, we will be in ceremony waiting to welcome Taita Inti (Father Sun) and its healing rays to light and bless us and this new day. It is here we will receive our Healer’s Rites.

    **We will immerse in sacred ceremony and meditation at Intihuatana, the highest point of Machu Picchu.

  • Connecting with Otorongo (Jaguar) and Condor while at the sacred sites, receiving the Munay Karpay (ceremony). If there is an English word to describe Munay, the closest would be “love”, yet Munay is more of a consciousness of acceptance and appreciation for all creation and all that is. It is more in line with a universal and unconditional love.

  • We will travel up to the temple and gather for a Karpay ceremony. The ceremony will help us manifest the Inca law of Yachay. Yachay translates as “wisdom” and is more of an inner knowing and higher consciousness of our “authentic”, or true, selves. It understands that we are not our egos, illuminating the truth of our limitlessness.

  • A sacred Incan terraced circular depressions, the largest site used for farming. Soil samples have shown that soils were brought in from different regions to be used in helping grow crops at the different levels of the terraces.

  • The name is in the ancient language used by the Incas (Qechua) which translated into Spanish means (falcon). We will visit and go into ceremony at the Temple las Lunas (Temple of the Moon) to connect with the feminine energy of Mama Killa (Grandmother Moon) and Otorongo (The Jaguar).

  • The Temple of the Qorikancha was the most sacred and important temple to the Incas, not only for worshipping the Sun deity “Inti”, but for being the only temple that devoted itself entirely to worship ceremonies. It is said that the High Incan Priests and Priestesses communicated energetically and psychically with all realms of the Inca Empire from one central point.

    **This is where we'll activate your mesa.

Booking Your International & Domestic Flights
