Become a more powerful change agent in this time of potent transition and opportunity through Andean mysticism with Jeff Firewalker Schmitt.
Indigenous wisdom traditions tell us that the very fabric of the living universe is replete with a transformational power referred to as “the original teachings.” Sacred ceremony and fortification processes help us find pathways back to these original teachings, which help us understand the interdependence of all life and discover our true power and purpose.
This workshop aims to help those dedicated to human and planetary service to find new resources, insight, and connection. Your guide, educator and folk healer Jeff Firewalker Schmitt, is joined by Nelida Vilca Huaman and Rebelino Huaman Cjuiro, Andean shamans from the Chinchero village of Peru.
Throughout the week, you are held in a safe and respectful container and guided through traditional ceremonies, meditations, and visualization practices aimed at enhancing your capacity for service. The goal is that each of us departs from our time together stronger, more resourced, clearer, more resolute, and deeply supported by a circle of like-minded and open-hearted aspirants.
Jeff Firewalker Schmitt invites you to tap into the compassion and energetic resources replete within the universe in order to gain the tools and strategies you need to make yourself a more powerful changemaker in the world.
Please note: Workshop begins Monday at 7:30 p.m.
Enrollment is limited for this program; register early.

Nelida Vilca Huaman is an Andean shaman from the Chinchero village of Peru. Her family origins are from Apurimac (the Apu who speaks) and from Chumbivilcas, where she carries a lineage of warrior healers.
In 2010, she met master Puma, who started teaching her and initiated her as a master in the path of Kapaq Ñan. Since then, she’s been walking and sharing all of the knowledge, ceremonies, offerings, and mesa work in Chinchero. She also offers her teachings and knowledge of the Ñustas and guides others to the sacred sites in Peru so they can have direct experience with these divine feminine beings.
Rebelino Huaman Cjuiro is an Andean shaman from the Chinchero village of Peru, the land of great masters and village of rainbows. For as long as he can remember, and thanks to his parents and grandparents, he has been raised to respect and live in communion with Pachamama and the Apus.
His path of Kapaq Ñan (healing) started when he met Don Máximo Singona—or as the whole family lovingly called him, Papakay. He served as his guide, sharing his knowledge, initiating him to plant a seed of love and healing. From this moment, his life in total service started.
