  • Honor the traditional roots of Andean despacho making and explore the contemporary and regional additions to this art.
  • Experience and understand the three primary ways of offering despachos: burying, burning, and offering to water.
  • Receive a minimum of 36 hours of in-person training on the ritual arts of despacho creation and offering in healing service for an individual (Self), the community (Culture), and the planet (Nature).

“We recognize all life as a gift. And as we receive, we participate in the flow by giving back. We give of ourselves, we give our service, we give our reverence and gratitude. Our relationships with the Earth are transformed as we enter into that awareness…personal healing becomes planetary transformation.”

– don Oscar Miro-Quesada

Testimonials

The PMT apprenticeship has been a blessing in helping me navigate these turbulent times and offer clarity regarding my future path. The PMT path provides an avenue to channel my love for the earth and its inhabitants in a loving and constructive way.
Julie Frederick, PsychotherapistNorth Carolina
Experiencing the PMT with loving souls and wonderful teachers has enriched my life in ways I could not have imagined. I am honored and grateful to share this medicine.
Tracy M. HypnotherapistFresno, CA
PMT has provided me a comforting, ever-changing, and expansive but anchored container for my spiritual life and real-world existence for the first time in my life. It has allowed me to experience the world around me as animate, playful, poetic. It helps me not judge things/events as good or bad, but to glean more information and thus appreciate it all. It is an enormous gift to go deeper into this work.
Cornelia M.L.Los Angeles, CA
I experienced profound shifts after participating in the PMT apprenticeship. The PMT is the only tradition that consistently manifests transformations in my life. The fullness and magic I feel in these circles is unparalleled and real.
Stefi PSan Francisco, CA
The apprenticeship gave me the community I've been seeking. Sharing, learning, and growing with a group of fellow seekers who are on the path of the healer was extremely powerful, especially in the context of an intact lineage.
