APRIL: PERU

PeruMachuPicchu3.jpg (53424 bytes)
PERU: Mystical Journey to Machu Picchu - April 24 - May 1, 2010
with optional Extension to Lake Titicaca 
May 1 - 4, 2010

IMPORTANT! Machu Picchu will re-open on April 1st.
The Sanctuary was closed by the Peruvian National Institute of Culture in late January 2010,
due to flooding that caused mudslides to wash out the train tracks to Aguas Calientes,
the jumping off point for visits to this UNESCO World Heritage site.


We have a few spaces left! Registration closes April 9th,
or sooner if the group fills before that date.


With Andrea Mikana-Pinkham
& Spiritual Tour Guide Dr. Jose (Pepe) Altamirano


Tap into the transformational energies of the ancient power spots,
such as Machu Picchu, the City of Light,
through meditation and group ritual that will elevate your consciousness!

During our special Sunrise Ceremony at Machu Picchu
we will greet Taytay Inti (Father Sun) as He returns to give life for another day to His Children,
just as the ancient Incas did when they inhabited the Sanctuary.
PLUS, you will have plenty of time to explore on your own!

At the sacred sites in and around charming and picturesque
Cusco,
we will cleanse and enliven our chakras by connecting with the water, earth, fire and air elements
and the ancient
Eternal Flame of Light that still exists for those that open their hearts to it!

At the sacred sites of
Pisac & Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley of the Incas
we will soar with the Condors and connect with the elements of water and air.

SPECIAL EVENT!

World Congress of Initiatic Societies
Macerata, Italy          April 17, 2010
IOGT Grand Prior Mark Amaru Pinkham

Sponsored by The International Order of Gnostic Templars
and The
OSMTH Templar Order of Italy

Delegates from Secret Societies from all over the globe will come together to discuss their common origins and the possibility of reuniting now in a World Alliance for Planetary Enlightenment. These groups originally began as part of the Underground Stream to both practice and guard the primal gnostic-alchemical path. That goal has been attained. Now it's time to reunite for the even greater mission of spreading this important path and its teachings worldwide. If prophecy proves correct, this is the point in history when it's time for the patriarchal theology that stagnates human evolution by affirming that Spirit exists outside the human heart to finally step aside and allow all people to realize the fullness of their innate divinity.

The last time a conference of this genre and caliber occurred was in Paris in 1785. It was attended by St. Germain, Cagliostro and many other high-ranking Secret Society leaders. The goal of that gathering was the same as the upcoming one - to throw off the yoke of patriarchal control in a campaign for spiritual freedom. However, that gathering ended in the violence of the French Revolution. Times have changed, and we can now acknowledge the futility of resorting to violence in a quest for world peace. Instead, we simply want to extend a hand to those persons in the world who are thirsting for the inner peace of gnosis.
