Our Exciting Trip to Peru and Bolivia

M.K., M.A, D.F.Astrol.S., the internationally renowned astrologer and best selling author of Astrology For Enlightenment (Atria Books, Simon & Schuster, NY 2008) with clients in over 57 countries, offers a unique spiritual adventure to majestic Peru. A guest of many top radio and television shows and the exclusive astrologer to the Stars at the 2007 Academy Awards, this gifted lecturer and author, is published in many countries in 3 languages with over 8 previous books. She also has a regular column in the Sedona Journal. She invites you to accompany her back to his inspired, sacred land and to journey with her to spaces and people she deeply loves.

Q’ero Master Shamans

Michelle is also a professional shaman trained in the Q'ero tradition both in Peru where, for several years, she has been personally initiated by Don Pasqual, and at the Four Winds Society by Linda Fitch and Alberto Villoldo. She graduated in 2010. On your enlightened journey to this sacred land, she will share the deep wisdom offered by the Inka cosmology and legends and introduce you to sacred ceremonies with the Q'ero Master Shamans, the direct descendants of the Inkas who, until 1954, were untouched by civilization and kept their traditions intact in the high glaciers of the Andes. This is a unique chance to learn directly from these very special Masters whose love and powers are extraordinary.

Explore Peru

Together, we shall start with an exploration of the mysterious Nazca Lines. Among many other temples, we shall visit in the Sacred Valley, Pisaq, the Temple of the Falcon, Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu, Huyana Picchu, Tipon, Moray and Sacsayhuaman. In Cuzco, you will have the exclusive opportunity to explore a magical poncho store displaying the world's most exclusive collection of traditional Peruvian textiles imbued with special mystical powers, each between 100 and 500 years old. Accompanied by Michelle, you will make passage from Cusco to Puno and en route have a special ceremony at the Wiracocha Temple of the Creator God of the Inkas. We shall then spend time by Lake Titicaca, on both the Peruvian and Bolivian sides, working in various legendary temples such as the Aramu Muru Door, temple of the 5th dimension, exploring the fabled extraterrestrial city of Puma Punku, sleeping on the Island of the Sun and the Amantani Island, the highest island in the world. Michelle personally invites you to take this mystical journey with her through the mountains of Peru.

Her mystical journey is limited to 25 people.
No previous knowledge in shamanism or astrology is required.
