Join
Andrea Mikana-Pinkham and Mark Amaru Pinkham, for this unique spiritual journey in the Andes of PERU!
We've led over 30 groups to PERU since 1994.
Since 1992, when Andean Elders claim Peru fully recovered the spiritual power
it possessed during the time of the early Incas,
people from all over the world
have flocked to the Andes to receive its prodigious gifts.
These include the awakening of a seeker's intuition,
opening to the profound mysteries of the universe and human existence,
and the full opening of the Heart Chakra.
The Andes are the main feminine energy vortex on our planet and as such are conducive to this happening there!
In order for sincere seekers to fully receive these gifts
we have called upon our 30+ years of training and intensive experience in the Andes
to design a spiritual pilgrimage/retreat that will provide
the optimum environment and assistance for you for this to occur!
Throughout our 12-day Andean journey we will travel in and around Cusco,
as well as to and from our retreat center in the Sacred Valley of the Incas
to many of the high-powered vortexes of Peru.
In these places, like Machu Picchu, we will experience amazing megalithic temples
and carved stone altars where important Andean initiations were anciently observed.
In order to fully receive the Andean energies, we will also daily observe shamanic ceremony,
as well as optional yoga and meditation.
And we will also provide you with training in certain facets
of Andean Shamanism so you can learn
how to
harness the Earth's power for healing, spiritual awakening and deep transformation.
Additionally, we'll be blessed to have some of the AUTHENTIC indigenous Q'ero Elders with us!
They will offer you five levels of wisdom teachings from their ancient lineage.
These sacred teachings will help you with your own spiritual growth.
Equally important, they will help you to better be able to offer love & healing
to The Pachamama, who we all know direly needs that right now!

GREECE
Andrea Mikana-Pinkham
will lead our 2027 Sacred Sites Journey to
GREECE
Spiritual Odyssey to GREECE - Part One: Sacred Sites and Ancient Oracles
April 25 - May 3, 2027
Spiritual Odyssey to GREECE - Part Two: Sacred Sites and Ancient Oracles
on Crete, Santorini & Milos
May 3 - 12, 2027
Andrea has led our previous Sacred Sites Journeys to GREECE in 2008, 2009 and 2018.
She has also planned and operated spiritual pilgirmages for various speakers in the past.
On this Spiritual Odyssey we'll connect with the powerfully-transformative energies
of the ancient temples that housed the Greek Mystery Schools!
Receive the legacy of the great Gods and Goddesses that shaped Western Civilization
and accept them as aspects of your own consciousness!
The Greek Mysteries, the last surviving relics of the archaic wisdom
that can be traced to pre-Vedic India and pre-dynastic Egypt,
were passed on by high spiritual adepts.
Some esoteric researchers believe that these wise men and women
inherited and promulgated the teachings of the Lemurian and Atlantean civilizations.
During the time of Lemuria,
which was located on islands in the Pacific Ocean,
they worshipped the Great Mother, the invisible spirit of Nature.
When Lemuria sank beneath the ocean around 15,000 BCE,
the adepts migrated to many places around the globe,
including islands in the Atlantic, where they became the Atlantean civilization.
During this time humankind separated themselves from the matriarchal teachings
of unconditional love, allowance, compassion and forgiveness, and followed the paths of patriarchy.
After the submersion of the last remnant of Atlantis some 12,000 years ago,
the teachings of the Divine Feminine were hidden behind an impenetrable veil of secrecy.
Some believe that these Mysteries were re-established in Greece,
under the veil of symbol and allegory to preserve the ancient teachings for the coming generations - US!
Just as there are in many parts of the world, there are temples dedicated to various Goddesses all over Greece!
We'll explore and experience many of these temples, as well as those dedicated to various of the Greek Gods
during our two weeks in this ancient Mediterranean nation.
The Itinerary, Pricing and Registration Form will be posted here soon.
