SACRED TRAVEL
PERU
INCAN LAND OF LOVE
SEPT. 7 - 15, 2017
with optional Post-Trip to Lake Titicaca
Peru...a unique place that exudes great heart and jaw-dropping beauty. From the elevations of Machu Picchu to the low lands of the Sacred Valley, the people and landscapes of Peru are simply exquisite. It's enough to crack a person wide open! I fell deeply in love with this fair country in 2013 and now I'm beyond excited to be bringing a group there this fall.
I am honored and excited to be co-leading the trip with author and indigenous shaman, Jorge Luis Delgado. I met Jorge a few years back while he was traveling in the U.S. and felt immediately connected to him - I think he makes everyone feel that way! He is a very special human being who will guide us into the mysteries of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Please check out at least one of his books, especially the one noted down below.
I feel like I could write a book myself about my experiences in Peru but I'd prefer to support you in writing your own story. You will experience amazing structures that to this day are unexplained. There is incredible energy in the ancient sites that can be felt by virtually everyone. There's wonderful food and the most giving people you've ever encountered. What I can promise you is that this country and its people will change you forever - I call it the Land of Love for a reason :)
To be more specific, we will see all the important sites in and around Cusco (the altars: Temple of the Heart, Illapata, Sasayhuaman, Qenko, Puka Pucara, Tambomachay) as well as the market. (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 every structure (Pisac, Chinchero, Tumibamba, Moray, Quillarumiyoc and Ollantaytambo).
Finally, we will ascend to Machu Picchu. Rather than try to describe it, I prefer to keep it a blank slate, for each participant will have their own deep experience of it. That said, I suspect our Sunrise Ceremony at the Sun Gate will blow us all away.
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.
Infinite blessings (and I hope to see you there!),

IMPORTANT NOTE
As you probably already know, this area of Peru is at a high elevation and is quite mountainous. This means we will be climbing many hills and stairs, huffing and puffing. Although there are things that can be done to help with the altitude, it is imperative that participants do their best to prepare themselves physically for this excursion. Start walking/running now to build up lung capacity. Last time, my 3 mile daily walk helped but wasn't enough - this time, I'll have a backpack with weights as I train. In addition, some of the terrain is quite uneven so I will recommend certain equipment. It's all worth it, I promise!
