OUR DESTINY LIES IN OUR ORIGINS: A Weekend Intensive for Enhancing Our Shamanic Service
with don Oscar Miro-Quesada

This singular apprenticeship experience with don Oscar Miro-Quesada is intuitively designed to serve as an immersive, soul-deepening exploration of the Pachakuti Mesa TraditionTM: its relational intelligence, ritual practice, and communal re-Membering during these transformative times of Pachakuti.

‘Pachakuti’ means ‘world reversal’ in Quechua, and it refers to the time of transformation we are living now. A Mesa is an altar for self-exploration, transformation and personal growth in which we create a new paradigm of one’s relation to the Self and the Universe. Based in the cosmologies of Peruvian shamanism, this tradition, in all its richness, is an evolving practice of inner and outer activities that restore balance and harmony to our relationships with All That Is.

This intensive is intended in vision and purpose as a beneficent self-transformational shamanic exploration of Andean cosmovision, with emphasis on attaining deeper gnosis of the cosmic evolutionary presence in our lives of the constellated energetic powers experienced as Kamaqen, Pacha, Kawsay, Supay, Kallpa, and Qonteqsewiraqocha (“the art of befriending entropy”).

The setting will be ceremonially orchestrated to guide participants into a direct, embodied encounter with four interwoven realities: that life is fundamentally relational; that the mesa is a living cartography of reciprocity; that discord and disequilibrium are not failures of the path, but initiatory thresholds within it; and that spiritual maturation within the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition is inseparable from ayllu-consciousness, community coherence, and reverent service to the more-
than-human world.

This is not a weekend of passive instruction. It is a covenantal field of practice. Apprentices are invited to experience themselves not as isolated seekers collecting teachings, but as participants in a living web of reciprocity with Pachamama, with the sacred directions, with their own mesas, with one another, and with the ever-turning world and spirally churning multiverse itself. The tone will be intimate, intelligently soul honoring, and devotional, but never theatrical; the Guardians of Ayni are unimpressed by spiritual posing. Rather, we will share an immersive multidimensional apprenticeship in perception, humility, disciplined listening, and relational accountability.

This PMT apprenticeship is ideally suited for participants sharing multiple levels of shamanic experience and ritual prowess, including new or early-stage apprentices in the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition; experienced practitioners needing re-rooting in first principles; established regional community members preparing for deeper ceremonial responsibilities; and sincere spiritual aspirants drawn to embodied, earth-honoring relational practice.
