EVENT: Peruvian Adventure

We are passing this information along for a friend, in case anyone is interested in joining him:

YOU are INVITED by HAN to a JOURNEY of SELF-DISCOVERY in the MOUNTAINS of PERU --- AUG 22nd - SEPT 5th 2009

As you know I have been a serious student and practitioner of shamanism for several years. It is now my intention to share wisdom and experience with others on their own journey of self discovery and living life on purpose. Consequently, I have arranged a special trip for a small group of people to the Andes of Peru - to meet and travel with an authentic shaman. He is Don Agustin, and I have had the great privilege of working with him during my own training. We invite you to join us ---------------------------------- Together, we will lead you on an amazing journey to magical places in Peru rarely visited by tourists. Here is a description of the journey in some detail, so you can appreciate what is in store for you, should you decide to join us.
JOURNEY ITINERARY * On our first day in Peru, we will travel from Lima to a magical hot springs in a lush Andean valley surrounded by spectacular mountains. There, you will be offered participation in a sacred plant ceremony while in the medicinal waters. Therein, you may enter the world of dreams and visions for self healing. NOTE: The ceremonies on this journey will take place during daytime, and participation will always be by personal choice of each participant. The Andean plant medicine we use is most conducive to being in natural, outdoor environments. * After two amazing days in this beautiful valley, we will leave early morning to travel by horseback over a 16, 000 ft pass, all the while enjoying incredibly beautiful and varied Andean mountain terrain. Most of our camping gear will be taken to our second location by truck, so we will be traveling lightly. No horseback riding skills are really required, as all the horses are trained to be gentle, and we will be accompanied by experienced Andean mountain guides. From my own experience, I can attest to this being one of the highlights of the journey, not to be missed. * Once over the pass, we will bid adieu to our horses and guides, and hike down to a little mountain pueblo where we will be met and transported to our second destination, a magical place of legend and ancient powerful ceremony named Selva Piedra (the Stone Forest). There, you will experience a vast terrain of rock formations unlike any other place on earth. And there, we will hold out second plant medicine ceremony. * As you may know, the quality of plant medicine ceremony is affected by the purity of the medicine, the skill and knowledge of the shaman, and the power of the environment where it is performed. All I can say is, the quality doesn’t get much better anywhere, on all counts. *After two days in this wonderful high Andean environment, we will travel back to Lima, .enjoying more spectacular and varied scenery for most of the way down. All in all, This will be a journey you will remember for the rest of your life, and benefit from greatly in many ways, both tangible and intangible. Oh, yes, I should not fail to mention all the wonderful freshly prepared Andean food that you will enjoy along the journey – yum!!! From Lima, you may choose to remain in Peru on your own for a while, or return home right away, and still have a day of rest before returning to work on Tuesday after Labor Day weekend.
