Initiation in the Andes

Inkarri Multicultural Association was created to preserve and disseminate the values of ancestral traditions. Within its program of Alternative Tourism and Eco-shamanism, Inkarri invites you to explore the millenarian enigmas of the Inka culture and experience firsthand the healing energy of the Andes.

The Heart of the Warrior

The “Heart of the Warrior” workshop is an experimental work and study of the Andean worldview that takes place in Q´osqo (Cuzco), the Puma city, one of the main centers of energy (Chakra) of Pachamama (Mother Earth). Cuzco, together with Tibet, conform the most important geomagnetic centers of the Earth. Cuzco is the city where the great Inka civilization flourished together with its teachers and wise men (Amautas).
"The Heart of the Warrior", from PNEUMA’s system perspective, studies the Andean worldview applied to the human and spiritual development. This work includes: Meditations and spiritual practices, liturgy, dances, chants, power marches, pilgrimages to millenarian temples, karpay (initiations), shamanic ceremonies, and/or PNEUMA Breathwork. In the “Heart of the Warrior”, spiritual Inkan technologies are exposed always oriented to man’s inner development and the direct experience of the inner APU (Spirit). We achieve this through the beautiful Andean worldview of the three Pachas or Worlds; Condor, Puma, and Snake. 

In "The Heart of the Warrior" you’ll be able to go into the mystery and power of the tributes to the Pachamama of healing, dances, power marches, songs, meditations, the chacchar (to chew), divination using the leaves of the mystic plant kuka (coca), and to the karpay (initiations) of Taruka (Deer), Nina (Fire), Unu (Water), Pacha (Earth), and Wayra (Air). These ceremonies take place in millenarian temples where this tradition is still being practiced (some of the temples are not visited by tourists).
