Join Jonette Crowley, mystic and author of The Eagle and the Condor: A True Story of an Unexpected Mystical Journey, and Mallku Arevelo author of Inka Power Places: Solar Initiations on a magical trip to the Andes!

Because of the importance of this year, sometimes called The 2012 Shift, this journey has many highlights. If you are called to the Andes at this time, you are not coming as a tourist but as an participant in the co-creation of the highest possible future for humankind. You understand the importance of sacred gatherings at the Earth’s power places. You seek your own vision and personal growth. You understand the power of group intention.

Explore Machu Picchu on the all important June Solstice; visit the Inca capital of Cusco, the Sacred Valley, islands on Lake Titicaca, and the magnificent Colca Canyon –the deepest Canyon in the world, also known as the Canyon of the Condors. Spend a night camping and enjoying ceremony with the native Quechua “priests”. The journey will weave the temples of Venus on Titicaca, with the Moon temple near Cusco, and finally the Pyramid of the Sun at Machu Picchu. The focus is accelerated personal growth through ceremony, meditation and discovery. The program includes a workshop and retreat day with Jonette and her guides in the Sacred Valley to prepare for our time at Machu Picchu. You will experience magical spiritual openings, a solar initiation, and so much that is unexpected!
