WHAT IS THE PMT APPRENTICESHIP SERIES?
This powerful series is open to all people who desire to be of service to themselves, their families, their community, and Mother Earth through personal and communal ceremony, whether they are long-time mesa carriers or new to this tradition.
Series dates:
October 2 – 4, 2025 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.
January 9-11, 2026 Part 2: A Balance of Power: Transforming the Present During this workshop intensive, participants will apprentice in the center of the mesa, traditional Peruvian healing practices, and the kaypacha, the middle world. They will explore the kaypacha’s elemental matrix and magico-spiritual power, and learn about the moon’s presence in the middle world, mapping the cosmos on Earth, and celestial death and rebirth.
March 27-29, 2026 Part 3: The Condor’s Quest: Creating the Future This workshop is an initiation into the paqokuna, the Andean Shaman/Priesthood mystical path, the lineage of the sacred mountains, and the five virtues of the mesa. Participants will also journey to and experience the hanaqpacha, the upper world beyond the physical, work with the unseen world there and deepen their connection to their own spiritual resources.
June 26-28, 2026 Part 4: The Hummingbird’s Ascent: Living the Mystery In this apprenticeship workshop, students will experience the upper world and learn about its lightning bolt of mystical illumination and the flow of kamasqa, the power of Creation. They will work with the elements, the forces of the universe, the body of Mother Earth, and sacred healing objects. In sacred reciprocity, participants will create despachos to honor Mother Earth, the sacred mountains, the elements, the unseen world, and prepare for a paqowachu, a sacred pilgrimage.
October 2-4, 2026 Part 5: The Shamanic Self: Serving the Earth This workshop deepens participants’ experience of soul and spirit through the ritual process, including the spiritual creation, activation, and care of an apacheta. Students will work with the power of creation in the kaypacha or middle world, dimensionality and time, as well as with the three suns, and the hampikamayoq process (ancient breathing techniques for physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being and transformation). 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.
