Ritual Cosmos: An Introduction to the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition™

Are you ready to:

• Learn the fundamentals of shamanic practice and empowerment?

• Create your own Mesa, a sacred altar ground and shamanic tool for engaging enlightened beings and elemental energies?

• Discover the Three Worlds, Five Directions, and a vibrant lineage of ceremony, healing, transformation, and heart-centered community?

Join us for a half-day exploration of the expansive heart of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition™. Originated by don Oscar Miro-Quesada, respected Kamasqa curandero and Altomisayoq adept, it is a tradition rooted in Peruvian curanderismo which emphasizes personal and planetary healing.

You will have an opportunity to create your own Basic Mesa. A Mesa is a type of altar and sacred medicine ground. The Mesa you will learn about is a synthesis of Peruvian shamanic coastal traditions combined with southeastern Andean Paqokuna practices. It is a powerful resource for supporting you in your journey of spiritual development. It can be an incredible support for other subtle energetic practices, resourcing and empowering anyone who is in a place of personal growth and healing, or those who are practitioners of the healing arts.

What is shamanism?

Shamanism, also known as curanderismo in this tradition, is not a religion: it is a spiritual practice grounded in a reverent awareness that the world is animated, conscious, and energetically interdependent. This workshop will offer some foundational teachings in Andean and universal approaches to shamanism.
