The Sacred Andean Tradition shows us a way of being and living that brings us back into harmony with life, nature, and the world through consciously connecting to the four elements. The natural flow of abundance and a deeper appreciation of life exist within this state of harmony.

Kamaq Wageaq, a Peruvian Kuraq Akulleq of the Sacred Andean Tradition, will present the following South African workshops. These experiential workshops offer an understanding of the profound nature of life and an invaluable tool to navigate the tumultuous times of Earth’s changes we are living through.

Intensive training on how to carry out these practices is offered over four days, and participants will receive the first energy transmission, or Karpay, from this ancient lineage. The presenter and several facilitators will support the above at the main venue and various natural power sites.

Please enter your details if you would like to be on the invitation/information list for the four-day Paq’o retreat, which will be held 19-24 March 2025 at Maretlwane Lodge in the Magaliesberg Mountains near Johannesburg, South Africa.

Transmuting dense energies via the element of fire after the Despacho ceremony.

After the invasion of the Spanish conquerors came, the Q’eros took refuge in the high mountains and remained isolated from the world for around five hundred years. As recently as 1955, anthropologists made the first visit to the Q’eros nation and announced the existence of the last heirs of the Incas. They still preserve the ancestral customs of thousands of years ago; they have a deep connection with nature and are guardians of mystical information passed down through the generations. They wish to share this knowledge with the world now, as we are in a time of significant planetary and energetic change.

The four elements, Earth, Water, Air and Fire, the basic structures of universal energy, are the journey’s starting point in this initial four-day retreat, which includes receiving the Andean Paq’o level Karpay, or energy transmission. These, together with the concepts of balance, love, wisdom and service, are conveyed through simple teachings and practices based on the close observation of nature, as practised by the Paq’o or traditional medicine person within the Q’eros communities of Peru.

This is the first stage of this knowledge and wisdom path, which has been hidden for centuries and has only been released into the West over the last thirty years. This will offer you clarity and understanding of the Andean healing processes; some topics to be presented are the Inca Cosmovision, practices of cleansing the energy body and your living spaces of heavy energies—how to use the elements to balance yourself and ceremonial rituals of transmutation and gratitude. Participants will learn the meaning and navigation of the three worlds, Hanaq Pacha, Kay Pacha and Ukju Pacha, and the four elements and directions, animals and spirits of each direction.
