About your Reiki Master
Ritual Cosmos: Creating your own Sacred Space and Mesa (Shamanic Altar)
Why Am I Offering This Day Long Apprenticeship Now?
We are living through “interesting”, topsy turvy times aren’t we? We are swimming in challenging cultural patterns and earth changes, and it’s intense and can be hard for many of us. There is a collective feeling of disconnect and separation from who we are, from the earth, from the stars, from nature. This apprenticeship is about re-membering. Re-membering who we are and our deep connectivity to all that is. This is a medicine for our times.
What is The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition (PMT)?
The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition is a Peruvian-based, cross-cultural, living Shamanic tradition. “Pachakuti” means “world reversal” and refers to the time of transformation we are living in now. A mesa is an altar for self-exploration, reconnection, transformation, and personal growth in which we create a new paradigm of one’s relation to the Self and the Universe. This tradition, in all its richness, is an evolving practice of inner and outer activities that restore balance and harmony to our relationships with All That Is.
What is a Pachakuti Mesa?
In the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, we interact and build relationships with these unseen realms through the creation of sacred space and a specific type of medicine ground, altar or mesa called the Pachakuti Mesa. This sacred patterning of elemental expressions becomes the seat of spiritual vision and the game board for interacting with all of creation.
The goal of our time together:
This hands-on workshop's main focus is ceremonially setting up and activating your Pachakuti Shamanic Mesa. But ultimately the goal is to re-member and come into right relationship with our world.
Through this powerful process, we will also explore::
The Lineage of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition
The 5 directions and how each represents an aspect of self.
The 3 worlds found cross-culturally in most shamanic traditions.
Who is this for?
This workshop is for anyone, from any background and tradition, who is interested in developing a deeper relationship within and without.
To Bring:
A square cloth that will serve as the ground of your mesa - (minimum 1-foot square32 - maximum 2-foot square)
A Stone
A Shell
A Feather
A votive Candle (in glass)
A personal power piece of your choosing
Some optional offerings to have/bring - (Lance will have them for you as well)
Tobacco
Cornmeal

Roots to Branches: Shamanic Communion with Trees
Join Amy Mermaid Isakov in communion with the spirits of the trees!
Amy has been facilitating a daily Shamanic Tree Communion with our community at noon on weekdays, five days a week, for the past year. There has been abundant wisdom and insights garnered from these journeys.
Join us in this special workshop to be immersed in the wisdom of our Tree Relatives.
Together, we will learn about the Spirit of Trees from the Andean Shamanic mystical perspective. The South American peoples of the Andean mountain range recognize the Malkikuna, or Tree Beings, as essential guardians of right relationship.
One magnificent aspect of trees is their mythic significance in traditions worldwide. These traditions view trees as aligning, connective, and communal allies, helping us understand and embody the balance between the earthly and the spiritual realms.
This is an opportunity to begin or deepen your relationship with our Tree Relatives, the Malkikuna!
Look forward to:

About your Reiki Master
Five Element Nature Reconnection Walks with Lance and Amy
Join Lance and Amy for an immersive experience as they guide you to reconnect with nature on these Five Element Seasonal Shamanic Nature Walks. This event is perfect for families and friends looking to reconnect with nature at a deeper level and explore the profound wisdom that comes from our collective Earth-honoring traditions.
What is Shamanism?
Shamanism is a cross-cultural, non-religious, folk-healing tradition rooted in the fundamental belief that everything, including humans, animals, and nature, possesses a spiritual essence. It highlights the interconnectedness of all things and promotes harmony with nature as core principles. Shamans, as practitioners, serve as intermediaries between the physical and spiritual realms, utilizing rituals and practices to connect with the spiritual essence of the world for wisdom, healing, and guidance.
What are the Five Elements?
Taoist 5 Element Theory is a concept rooted in Taoism, an ancient Chinese philosophy and is the basis of Lance’s 5 Element Acupuncture tradition. It suggests that there are five elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—that represent different aspects of nature and the universe. These elements are not merely physical substances but symbolize energies, qualities, and interrelationships. According to this theory, each element has its unique characteristics and influences specific aspects of the natural world. The interactions and cycles between these elements create a dynamic balance and harmony in nature. This theory helps us understand and interpret the patterns and transformations observed in the natural world, providing a framework to understand how different elements interact and support one another both in nature and ourselves.
The flow of our Walks
We will start off in the mansion at the Willows with a short introduction. Then we will embark on a spiritual journey through the captivating woods of the Willows. Lance and Amy will lead the walks once per season, allowing you to witness the ever-changing beauty of nature as each element takes center stage.
Through their guidance, you'll gain a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of all things. By observing nature's elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—you'll develop a deeper understanding of their symbolism and how they manifest in the world around us.
Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a spiritual seeker, or simply curious about the wisdom of the five elements, this event promises an enriching and transformative experience. Prepare to immerse yourself in the healing power of nature and tap into the profound teachings of ancient shamanic traditions.

Devachanna Sound Bath - Healing and Meditation - Harmonize The Body, Mind and Soul
Experience sound healing with Laura of Devachanna!
Devachanna Sound Baths
Devachanna Sound Bath events are designed to heal by stilling/calming the body/mind to make way for illuminated states of awareness. Devachanna sound baths shift consciousness, clear and vitalize the Chakras (energy centers), and facilitate a natural flow of the body/mind through specialized vibratory sound and guided meditation. An introduction to and practice of Theta State Meditation during the event provides an inner environment for a consciousness shift while the crystal frequencies and chanted mantra provide an outer environment for healing of the body/mind.
Sound Baths Provide An Environment To:
Heal The Mind • Clear away stuck and discordant energy, gain clarity of thought and relief from difficult emotions.
Heal The Body • Stuck energy within the body is entrained into flowing energy from sound healing instruments, encouraging better health.
Heal the Soul • When used with intention for healing, a powerful influence of the pure energy of sound can break our old outdated patterns and set a new path for our souls journey.
What To Bring:
Please wear comfortable clothes, bring a yoga mat and other supports to help you stay comfortable during the sound bath. Bring your crystals to be cleared as well! It is suggested to bring tea or water in a travel mug to hydrate after the sound bath.
Cost: $45 OR $40 each if you come with a friend (use the code “BUDDY” at checkout for the discount)
About your facilitator
Laura brings synergy to the latest developments in sound, consciousness and healing. Her practice has developed from the perspective of a scientific background (BS, MA, Geology), a lifelong interest in health, body/mind/spirit connection, consciousness, and music. Laura uses the gentle but powerful frequencies of sound healing instruments with guided meditation, and mantra to catalyze healing. She works with groups and individuals to move through energetic blockages for deep healing. Vibration of sound healing instruments and guided meditation result in an environment that fosters the creation of new positive mind/body/spirit connections and healing of the souls journey. In addition to her Undergraduate and Masters Degrees, Laura holds a Certificate of Sound Healing from the Globe Institute of Sound Healing, a Certificate in Journey Dancing and is a 200 HR trained yoga teacher.

Metta - Loving Kindness Meditation : Donation based, Live, Online
With Siubhán
When the world is in turmoil, when we see suffering in communities close to our hearts, it is hard to know what to do. Our hearts are heavy and full of challenging emotions.
The Buddha says “It is compassion that removes the heavy bar, opens the door to freedom, makes the narrow heart as wide as the world. Compassion takes away from the heart the inert weight, the paralyzing heaviness; it gives wings to those who cling to the lowlands of self.”
Let us join in community in mindful meditation practice that allows us to meet our world exactly as it is, in all of its challenges, and create a method of removing obstacles which stand in our way of inner peace.
Cost:
Donation-based -Use the “pay what you want” option at registration"

ABOUT SIUBHAN
Siubhan first experienced the benefits of mindfulness and meditation with athletes while earning her undergraduate degree in Sports Medicine at the University of Connecticut. After completing her graduate degree in Exercise Science Siubhan became a Program Director of a corporate fitness center in Boston. There she facilitated wellness programs to the center’s many corporate partners, including meditation and mindfulness. So when Siubhan’s daughter struggled with anxiety as an Irish Dancer, she knew that meditation and mindful techniques would be effective. Over the years of working with her daughter and other dancers this plan has evolved into a set of meditations and mindfulness techniques which effectively combat the stress and anxiety of this highly competitive sport.
Siubhan has seen these techniques work first hand on her own daughter whose anxiety caused her to quit dance when she was 13 to now working in professionally in Dublin and touring Europe while earning her college degree.
The stress of dance, the pressures of school and the hectic life of this plugged in generation takes its toll physically and mentally. These techniques give them tools to manage it all and helps them develop life changing skills.
Siubhan is a 500hr Registered Yoga Teacher and teaches classes and workshops in the greater Philadelphia area.
As a Master Level Reiki Practitioner, Siubhan works one on one with clients in her studio in West Chester, PA

Based on the teachings of don Oscar Miro Quesada, this is an opportunity to develop advanced skill and intelligence in the ceremonial application of ayni through the art of despacho making.
The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of shamanism provides a comprehensive understanding of the ritual cosmology and healing use of the sacred powers and forces revered by Andean wisdom-keepers since time immemorial.
These practices are relevant for people from all walks of life who are seeking to maximize their presence as sources of healing light in the world. Working with teachers sanctioned by don Oscar Miro-Quesada and the PMT Lineage, you’ll be apprenticed in ritual arts derived from Peru’s northern coastal kamasqa curandersimo and southeastern highland paqokuna shamanic traditions.
This level of shamanic medicine contribution to the Great Work is needed more than ever in the world, especially given the current alarming level of systemic intensification in prophesied Pachakuti witnessed at a global scale. All said and done, Now is the TIME, and the Time is NOW to emphatically ‘roll up our sleeves’, or better even, ‘pull out our Ajuar de Artes’, and lovingly embrace and honor the soul-empowering medicine ways of our shamanic ancestors.
By pursuing this course of study, you can:
Develop a deep personal relationship with the five unseen Guardians of Ayni: Tirakuna, Awkikuna, Malkikuna, Machula Awlanchis, and Apukuna.
Gain a comprehensive understanding of the specific offerings and their uses when engaging the Guardians of Ayni for healing in despachos.
Establish a comfort level with creating despachos for personal, communal, and planetary healing.
Serve your community as an empowered ceremonialist, leading despacho ceremonies and integrating them into your spiritual practice.
Receive a minimum of 36 hours of in-person training on the ritual arts of despacho creation and offering in healing service of an individual (Self), the community (Culture), and the planet (Nature).
Experience and understand the three primary ways of offering despachos – burying, burning, and offering to water.
Honor the traditional roots of Andean despacho making and explore the contemporary and regional additions to this art.
Create and maintain your own despacho kit.
This exceptional hands-on training will include:
Quechua Sacred Words
Vibrational Music
Platonic Solids
Elemental Colors
Breathing Techniques
Shamanic Journeying
Exploration of the Cosmovision
and more shamanic tools to expand your healing practice
In addition to the Course Essentials book, you will receive a never before offered Despacho Handbook including ceremonial components, an exhaustive list of ingredients and their symbolism, and intention-specific ceremonies offered by The PMT Lineage.
