Mona is welcoming and knowledgeable in all her teachings. She has a healing energy that is nurturing to the group and has a way of uniting people energetically to create magic in the workshop. As a nurse I received awareness of the healing powers I process beyond the level of knowledge of traditional medical practices. I have gratitude for the gift of this apprenticeship. – Nancy J., Gainsville, FL
Part 1: The Call to Heal: Releasing the Past

This apprenticeship workshop initiates participants into the Pachakuti Mesa, a powerful and sacred altar. Students learn how to create their own mesas and work with them for self-empowerment, transformation, and helping others. Through shamanic journey and visionary states of consciousness, participants will explore the three worlds of the Andean cosmovision, sacred reciprocity with all that is, the core ingredients of ceremonial mastery, sacred sound and ritual language, healing, and curanderismo, and the inner world of the ukhupacha.
Part 2: A Balance of Power: Transforming the Present
March 15 – 17, 2024
During this workshop intensive, participants will apprentice in the center direction of the mesa, traditional Peruvian healing practices, and the kaypacha, the middle world.

Participants will be further empowered by evoking both seen and unseen sources of cosmic awareness within their mesa, sacred objects and own being, and initiation into the lineage of this revered tradition.
