PERU,
Land of Love
From the elevations of Cusco and Machu Picchu to the low lands of the Sacred Valley, the people and landscapes of Peru are both powerful exquisite - it's enough to crack a person wide open. It is said, "There's life before Peru... and then there's life after Peru." Each time I go, I fall more deeply in love with the great heart, jaw-dropping beauty and the pulse that the land reverberates. This is why I'm beyond excited to be bringing a group there again in September 2019!
As before, I have the honor to be co-leading the trip with indigenous shaman, Jorge Luis Delgado. He is a very special human being who will guide us into the mysteries of Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu (see below right for more info). His knowledge of the palpable energies surrounding the amazing structures, which can be felt by virtually everyone, adds a profound element to the journey. Together, we will facilitate practices and ceremonies specific to each site to deliver an experience that is as intellectually stimulating as it is soul-shifting. We're able to give individualized attention because we keep the tour numbers low. This will also be an Infinity Wave 'workshop on wheels' and a demonstration of how easily the Wave can be incorporated into other technologies and philosophies.
We will begin with all the important altars and sites in and around the heart of the Incan civilization, Cusco: Temple of the Heart, Illapata, Sasayhuaman (Temple of the Sun), Qenko (Temple of the Moon), Puka Pucara, Tambomachay (Temple of the Water) as well as the bounteous markets. (Either buy or bring an extra suitcase because the handcrafts are so carefully and beautifully created that you will want to share them with your loved ones back home.)
Descending into the Sacred Valley, we will take our time in honoring and communicating with every structure: Pisac, Chinchero, Tumibamba, Moray, Quillarumiyoc and Ollantaytambo. We will take a pause to absorb the "apus" (mountains) at Jorge's gorgeous Urumbamba hotel (see photos right) and make use of the temples he's created there. In one of these, we will be given the rare honor of co-creating a "despacho" (fire ceremony) with one of the Inca Elders.
Finally, we will ascend to Machu Picchu. Rather than try to describe it, I prefer to allow each intrepid traveler to have their own deep experience. That said, I suspect our Sunrise Ceremony will blow everyone away.
Along the way, we will be staying in Jorge's lovely 4-star hotels and enjoying delicious Peruvian food while meeting the most warm and generous people you've ever encountered. Only because I've felt it and seen it can I promise you is that this country and its people will change you forever - I call it the "Land of Love" for a reason.
There are a limited number of people I can take so please don't wait to book. This is a busy time of year in Peru and the hotels are quite full already.
Please see below for more detail and while you're at it, check out Jorge's book, which I strongly recommend as pre-requisite reading.
I hope to see you in Peru!
Infinite blessings,
Hope

IMPORTANT
As you probably already know, this area of Peru is at a very high elevation (between 8 - 11,000 feet) and is quite mountainous. This means we will be walking up many hills and stairs, which can cause a shortness of breath. Although there are medications and herbs to help with the altitude, it is imperative that participants do their best to prepare themselves physically for this excursion. Start walking/running well ahead of time to build up lung capacity. The first time I went, my daily 3-mile walk wasn't enough so the next time, I added 30 mins upward hikes 3 times a week and did very well. In addition, some of the terrain is quite uneven so I will recommend certain equipment. It's worth it! :)
EASTER ISLAND,
Land of Legends
Nearly everyone is aware of the familiar giant heads staring far off into the distance of Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, but many do not know what they signify. Recently, some have said that they mark where water can be found but I'm skeptical - that's a lot of effort simply to mark a location. I believe there are other reasons, but we must go there to ascertain them.
My guides have been directing me to this remote location for several years but I was never able to accomplish it. They say, as others have, that it is a power center on the planet due to it's location at the cross-section of several energy lines (see diagrams to the right). Not only do we need to experience it first-hand for the upgrades that such a site offers, but we may be called into service while we're there.
We will begin our journey in Santiago, Chile, where we will be met by dear friends of mine, a wonderful family who will take us under their wings for the first two days. The have generously offered to have us stay in their lovely homes AND they will escort us to Cajon del Maipo, where we will enjoy the natural hot springs followed by an authentic Chilean barbeque.
On the 3rd day, we will fly to Easter Island, where we will be ushered to our 3.5 star "rustic" hotel, the Altiplanico. (All the hotels self-identify as "rustic" and ours will be one of the best.) We'll take the afternoon to unwind, relax by the pool and prepare.
The 4th-6th days will be spent with our private guide seeing not only the Moai (heads) and the beaches but also the caves and the ceremonial village of the "Birdman" culture. If the heavens allow, we will have one evening of spectacular stargazing with zero light pollution. Our final evening will be celebrated with traditional dance and an authentic dinner.
Along the way, we will learn the traditions and stories of the early people who found their way to Rapa Nui and discover ways to connect with the global ley lines that intersect there. This will be the adventure of a lifetime for all! For more information, click HERE.
NOTE: As with most islands, you can expect higher prices on Easter Island but I've done my best to provide exceptional value. Space is extremely limited so please do not wait to sign up - deadline 5/15/19

ALTIPLANICO HOTEL
TESTIMONIALS
"...Every day was full but not hurried. We saw and experienced a lot but with a significant sense of presence, of being in the moment by virtue of taking the time to stop, center, and do group meditation. Hope set the tone and offered spiritual guidance that facilitated our very diverse group of individuals to bond and create a positive energy that literally left a trail of blessings on the land, animals and people wherever we went. The receiving ... and the giving back was poignant and palpable… I am grateful for the continuing reverberations in my being. The trip, the sharing, the laughter, the learning was all memorable – the trip was PERFECT! I highly recommend it.”
“I cannot express how wonderful this trip was for me. So many levels of joy. Inwardly this trip has reconnected me with some of my past but more importantly, I feel more empowered (this has been a big issue for me). Thank you!”
“Hope's knowledge of the spiritual landscape of ancient energetic places made this the trip of a lifetime for me; affirming the interests I've pursued for the last 30 years, but turning intellectual facts into reality. It really made an impact on my life.”
"The best adjectives I have to describe Hope are: present, safe, warm, soft, direct, available, enlightening, generous, inspiring and transcendent. The awareness and healing I received at this retreat has been deep and meaningful. Practicing "The Infinity Wave" feels like the purest love connection I've ever known. Three months post-retreat, I am still in awe of what an awakened heart truly feels like. Hope's skillful guidance has led me up the evolutionary path to Divine Awareness, consciousness, deep trust, and love."
"You have given us wonderful gifts: new dimensions in spirituality and a shift in consciousness. By doing so, you have changed our lives forever. With love & gratitude for Peru!"
