On the Eve of 2012, please join us for a spectacular adventure into the Andes where internationally acclaimed Americo Yabar will lead us into the mystical realms within lagoons, temples, natural sanctuaries, violet valleys, and ancient cities untouched by tourism in order to see with the eye of the heart, and to experience what he describes as "the grand transformation of our luminous bodies activated by these Mesas of the Infinite."
Our journey opens us to the ancient world of Andean shamanism preserved through the centuries by the Q'ero people. Direct descendants of the Incas, the Q'ero have existed in self-imposed isolation in the high mountains since the time of the Spanish conquest. They believe that their long-protected teachings play an important role in the unfolding of life on the planet. Raised and trained by the Q'ero, Americo brings to us their wisdom, prophecies, and expanded view of the Universe through an enchanted nature-based cosmology that each of us can remember deep within our being.

"My purpose is to offer some insights of a spiritual nature. When I speak, it is not of my personal vision, but of the cosmos as seen by the Incas, the people of the Andes, the people of Q'ero. The message of the Q'ero is that people need to reconnect with the matrix of the cosmos--with the spirit of Pacha Mama (Cosmic Mother), which is the Earth, with the spirits of the mountains, or apus, and with the spirit of the stars."
