Medicine For Our Time and World February
20, 21 & 22, 2009 with
Valorie Lordi and Valerie Owen
In this Sacred, sometimes chaotic, time of the manifestation of ancient prophecies known to mesa carriers as the Pachacuti, we invite you to gather together to examine and deepen your path as Keepers of the Sacred Knowledge and Stewards of the New Earth. It will be a wonderful opportunity for us to engage in Sacred Play with our brothers and sisters to re-examine and strengthen our understanding of our own personal cosmology—and to increase our ability to access and utilize the power that is available to us and currently held in our Mesa. The weekend will foster inner healing, as well as mental, emotional and spiritual clarity as we serve Pachamama, and all her children. We will engage deeply with the element of water, the Blood of the Mother. We will increase our ability to embody the fluidity, connectivity and life giving nourishment that is held in the waters so we may safely navigate and ride the rapids of these turbulent times. We will utilize open space to design the structure of the weekend, focusing on tools, techniques, healing methodologies that work for us and identify and release those that donŐt work for our Northern Mesas. So, we invite you to join us in the Open Space of the Healing Dialogues where we will engage with traditional practices, archetypes and journeys in an evolving and expanded way. The dialogues are part of a new level of consciousness and medicine teachings that are reaching us from our own awakening indigenousness connection to the North sacred hoop of Luminous Lineage, a new dimension of global teachings/teachers of Light that are coming to us from the Maiku Inca realm. These very high vibrational ancestor guides/ healers/ earth guardians are "meeting us again", to assist us in these prophetic times of the Pachacuti and totalities of needed change and awakening. We are the ones we have been waiting for and by exploring and sharing our unique wisdom or sage-ness we will strengthen our Vision of peace, unity, and our community as well as our ability to "grow corn". "Peace within, peace without, peace between" The only prerequisite for attendance is that you be a full Mesa Carrier. To

• More about the Inca Medicine Wheel - For Personal Transformation...
Throughout the program we will receive the "Karpays" - the rites of passage and initiation into the shaman's way, the mystery teachings that can be known but not told. We begin with The Serpent Path of the South, a way of personal healing where the shaman goes to shed the past the way the serpent sheds her skin. We start building our mesa or altar, transforming our wounds into sources of power and compassion. We receive rites that link us energetically to a lineage of medicine men and women. In the second session, we step into The Jaguar Path of the West, the way of the Luminous Warrior. No longer bound to the primitive drives that have compelled humanity for centuries, we learn to move beyond fear and violence to walk a path of peace and impeccability. The third session, The Hummingbird Path of the North, is where we learn the way of our ancestors, the ancient ones. The lessons of the North are the practice of invisibility and learning to step outside of time into infinity. Hummingbirds are known to migrate from Brazil to Canada - similarly, we learn to respond when Spirit calls, embarking on our own epic journey. The Eagle or Condor Path of the East - the way of the visionary - brings us full circle around the Medicine Wheel. Here the shaman learns to develop the gift of vision to create a world of harmony, balance, and peace. In the East we learn how to "dream the world into being," how energy and vision manifest change. The Medicine Wheel is a map to the rediscovery of our personal and planetary soul. When the shaman discovers the way of the peaceful warrior he or she has no further need for enemies. When the shaman discovers the way of the visionary, he or she ceases to weave the future with the frayed threads of the past. — from Dr. Alberto Villoldo • www.thefourwinds.com ...top

Who are the Q'ero?
- The Inkan Shamans
Prophecies of the Q'ero...
Dr. Villoldo, Phd, (of the Four Winds Society) a psychologist and medical anthropologist, has lived among and trained with the Q'ero shamans and has played a key role in bringing their ritual and prophecy to the awareness of the modern world. The Q'ero are the last of the Incas - a tribe of around 600 who sought refuge at altitudes above 14,000 feet in order to escape the conquering conquistadors. For 500 years the Q'ero elders have preserved a sacred prophecy of a great change, or "pachacuti," in which the world would be turned right-side-up, harmony and order would be restored, and chaos and disorder ended. The Q'ero had lived in their villages high in the Andes in virtual solitude from the world until their "discovery" in 1949. In that year, Oscar Nunez del Prado, an anthropologist, was at a festival in Paucartambo, in southern Peru, when he met two Indians speaking fluent Quecha, the language of the Inkas.
The
first Western expedition to the Q'ero villages then occurred in 1955.
Four years later, at the annual Feast of The Return of the Pleiades
taking place in the Andes, the gathering of 70,000 pilgrims from South
America were awed, and the crowd parted to let the Q'ero, unannounced
and wearing the Incan emblem of the sun, make their way forward to the
mountain top to make known that the time of the prophecies was at hand.
They were welcomed by theassembly and were told, "We've been waiting
for you for 500 years." Recently, Q'ero elders journeyed to North America in fulfillment of their prophecies. In November 1996, a small group of Q'ero, including the tribal leader and the head shaman, visited several cities in the US, including New York, where they performed a private ceremony at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The shamanic ritual had not been performed for 500 years. But in thevery home of those who symbolized the former conquerors of their Incan ancestors they shared their ritual and knowledge, not only with interested Westerners who were learning their ways, but also with the Dean of the great cathedral, thereby symbolically and spiritually linking the two continents of North and South America. According to ancient prophecy, this is the time of the great gathering called the "mastay" and reintegration of the peoples of the four directions.
The prophecy holds that North America will supply the physical strength, or body; Europe will supply the mental aspect, or head; and the heart will be supplied by South America. When the Spanish conquered the Incas 500 years ago, the last pachacuti, or great change, occurred. The Q'ero have been waiting ever since for the next pachacuti, when order would emerge out of chaos. For the past five centuries they preserved their s acred knowledge, and finally, in recent years, the signs were fulfilled that the great time of change was at hand: the high mountain lagoons have dried, the condor is nearly extinct and the discovery of the Golden Temple has occurred, following the earthquake in 1949 which represented the wrath of the sun. The prophecies are optimistic. They refer to the end of time as we know it -- the death of a way of thinking and a way of being, the end of a way of relating to nature and to the earth. In the coming years, the Incas expect us to emerge into a golden age, a golden millennium of peace. The prophecies also speak of tumultuous changes happening in the earth, and in our psyche, redefining our relationships and spirituality. The next pachacuti, or great change, has already begun, and it promises the emergence of a new human after this period of turmoil. The chaos and upheaval characteristic of this period will last another four years, according to the Q'ero. The paradigm of European civilization will continue to collapse, and the way of the Earth people will return. Even more importantly, the shamanic elders speak about a tear in the fabric of time itself. This presents an opportunity for us to describe ourselves not as who we have been in the past but as who we are becoming. Pachacuti also refers to a great Incan leader who lived in the late 1300s. He is said to have built Machu Picchu and was the architect of an empire the size of the US.
The prophecies of the pachacuti are known throughout the Andes. There are those who believe the prophecies refer to the return of the leader Pachacuti to defeat those who took the Incas' land. But according to Dr. Villoldo, the return of Pachacuti is taking place on the collective level. "It's not the return of a single individual who embodies what we're becoming, but a process of emergence available to all peoples." The Q'ero have served as the caretakers of the rites and prophecies of their Inca ancestors.
The transmission of the Mosoq Karpay is the ceremony representing the end of one's relationship to time. It is a process of the heart. This process of Becoming is considered more important than the prophecies themselves. The Karpay (rites) plant the seed of knowledge, the seed of Pachacuti, in the luminous body of the recipient. It is up to each person to water and tend the seed so that it can grow and blossom. The rites are a transmission of potential; one must then make oneself available to destiny. The Karpays connect the person to an ancient lineage of knowledge and power that cannot be accessed by the individual. It can only be summoned by a tribe or ayllu. Ultimately, this power can provide the impetus for one to leap into the body of an Inca, a Luminous One. That person is connected directly to the stars, the Incan Sun of cosmology. The Q'ero believe that the doorways between the worlds are opening again. Holes in time that we can step through and beyond, where we can explore our human capabilities. Regaining our luminous nature is a possibility today for all who dare to take the leap. The Andean shamans say, "Follow your own footsteps. Learn from the rivers, the trees and the rocks. Honor the Christ, the Buddha, your brothers and sisters. Honor the Earth Mother Pachamama and the Great Spirit. Honor yourself and all of creation."

with the eyes of your soul and engage the essential," ...top

Healing Teachings and Dialogues
Val
Lordi RN, M.Div, from the Bronx, New York, is an extremely gifted
and experienced teacher, who teaches from the heart; her classes are
full of laughter and music. She is a Dominican nun and holds a degree
in Community Health Nursing and a Master's in Divinity/Cross Cultural
Theologies. Valorie has 35 years experience working with families in
crisis, HIV/AIDS, Cambodian refugee camps, as a social justice activist
and in community organizing within the "inner city" of New
York, Latin America and South East Asia. Since 1990, Valorie's work
has focused on developing a healing/energy medicine practice with Shiatsu/Reiki.
Initiated into the shamanic lineage of the Q'ero nation in Peru, she
is currently teaching the Mystical Medicine Traditions in North America,
facilitating sacred ceremonies and rites of passage, reaching out to
those called to embrace a path of healing and stewardship of the Pachamama,
Mother Earth, in this time of critical transition. 
Valerie
Owen, RN, is a nurse who has been practicing bodymind therapy for
over 25 years. She has an extensive background in individual and group
therapy, specializing in addiction counseling and counselor training.
She has been initiated in the healing traditions of the Inca medicine
people of Peru. Valerie is committed to sharing the gifts of this ancient
shamanic tradition for healing and transformations. She currently has
a private practice and teaches in Kamloops, BC. Valerie is a wonderful
gifted teacher who shares her knowledge with mindful heart, humour and
loving integrity.
The
Inca Medicine Wheel is a healing exploration into the nature of
time, energy, and the Essential Self. The shaman believes that only
by stepping outside of time can we experience the mystery of creation
and the true beauty of our lives.
An
earthquake in 1949 underneath a monastery near Cuzco, Peru, had rent
the ground asunder, exposing an ancient Incan temple of gold. This fulfilled
a sign that the prophecies of Mosoq, the "time to come," were now to
be shared with the modern world.
The
Q'ero are releasing their teachings to the West, in preparation for
the day the Eagle of the North and the Condor of the South (the Americas)
fly together again. They believe that "munay," love and compassion,
will be the guiding force of this great gathering of the peoples. The
new caretakers of the Earth will come from the West, and those that
have made the greatest impact on Mother Earth now have the moral responsibility
to remake their relationship with Her, after remaking themselves," said
Don Antonio Morales, a master Q'ero shaman. 
For
the Inka, Pachacuti is a spiritual prototype -- a Master, a luminous
one who stepped outside of time. He was a messiah, but not in the Christian
sense of the only son of God, beyond the reach of humanity. Rather he
is viewed as a symbol and promise of who we all might become. He embodies
the essence of the prophecies of the pachacuti, as Pacha means "earth"
or "time," and cuti means "to set things right." His name also means
"transformer of the earth."
