More about
the Ayahuasca SpiritQuest Experience
An Introduction

SpiritQuest is a holistic transcultural and multidimensional experience...

Ayahuasca SpiritQuest is designed for the mature, sincere, and respectful seeker of cultural knowledge, spiritual enlightenment, and personal healing.

SpiritQuest is a golden opportunity for those wishing to safely and expediently connect with true practitioners of traditional Amazonian shamanism in a positive and highly respectful framework.

SpiritQuest is not a tourist entertainment experience. It is a true shamanic workshop retreat, a serious yet joyous undertaking from which can come great personal discovery, holistic growth and healing, rejuvenation, new knowledge, and renewed vigor for life.

The desired personal benefits will be profoundly influenced by your positive state of mind, heart and spirit in entering your work with the shamans, the spirits, and the Medicine.

Personal commitment and some sacrifice is required to produce the most positive results possible. Serious advance preparation and diet are required for fullest benefit. We will assist in all aspects of your pre-journey orientation and preparation.

SpiritQuest safely and confidently escorts you past the substantial insecurity, uncertainties, and potentially serious risks of undertaking such a quest alone without well-informed and trustworthy guidance.

SpiritQuest is your bridge into the deeper realms of Amazonian shamanic culture. We are richly experienced in the facilitation, assimilation and integration of these experiences for visiting participants and provide all the caring personal support, counsel and guidance you desire before, during, and after SpiritQuest.

SpiritQuest shamanic teacher-healers are honest-to-goodness maestro curanderos, two people of extraordinary rainforest knowledge, with over 85 years combined experience in the shamanic healing arts. You will be most impressed with their incredible knowledge of Amazon healing plants and spirituality, ceremonial skills, and uncorrupted integrity. They are genuine master shamans and curanderos in the truest sense who sustain active healing practices in their own communities.

Shamanic practices experienced in SpiritQuest are conducted safely in the original time-honored traditions of the Peruvian Amazon without modification for western participation.

SpiritQuest is an intense, highly concentrated experiential growth process which, though not entirely easy, can impart a new meaning, depth and purpose for one's life which many people seek today.

SpiritQuest is a genuine and powerful transcultural spiritual experience. Each workshop component is designed to help you experience the oneness of Humanity, Nature and Spirit in a dynamic and personal way, thus initiating a lasting and positive transformative process in your life.

You will have the potential to transcend the barriers of time and space to comprehend the ancient origins of Amazonian shamanic beliefs, practices, and sources of power.

The processes of cleansing, catharsis and spiritual exploration undertaken in and around the ceremonies are challenging and often briefly uncomfortable. The purge is an integral part of the Ayahuasca cleansing process. It is a rite of holistic purification with lasting benefits far outweighing the temporary discomforts. You will have understanding support and assistance during these moments.

You will have the opportunity to discover your personal power and the wisdom to use it to its greatest positive potential.

Your SpiritQuest participation sponsors shamanic medicine and ceremony for many local indigenous people who otherwise would not have the opportunity. They regularly participate in SpiritQuest ceremonies, receiving Ayahuasca and other medicines at no cost to them.

We find great satisfaction in facilitating these experiences for people who come with sincere heart, a little courage, a bit of faith, humility, an open mind, and positive intentions.

We share with you what we practice ourselves and we know these paths very well.

We pledge our full effort to successful realization of your personal goals in undertaking these journeys within journeys. It is our mission and our responsibility.

You will join a warm and caring shamanic community here and you will thoroughly enjoy your stay with us. Though you will return to your home, you will not be forgotten, and you will not forget us either.

During your SpiritQuest, you will experience universal love, the most powerful of forces, manifesting in the magnificent life energy of Amazonian nature and her people.

SpiritQuest is a very special opportunity for those seeking genuine expertly-facilitated real-life Amazonian shamanic experiences in a comfortable and secluded natural setting.

The Original
Huachuma Mesa Journey Through Time



From the mysterious and powerful Lambayeque and Mochica ceremonial pyramids along the northern coast ...

to the cradle of Andean civilization,
the benevolent Huachuma Temple of the Jaguar at Chavín de Huántar
and the newly opened Heaven's Gate in the Cordillera Blanca

"A magical journey through time and space, exploring incredible places of great shamanic power
revered by three remarkable pre-Inca cultures of Peru ... the Lambayeque, Mochica, and Chavín.

From the ancient Moche ceremonial pyramids of human sacrifice on the northern coast ...

... to the center of supreme Chavin shamanic enlightenment ...
 the great Huachuma Temple of the Jaguar at Chavín de Huántar

with four masterful Huachuma Mesa works.  We practice full-on deep core pre-Columbian Huachuma shamanism in the pure Chavin tradition, vastly more powerful and transformative than the contemporary San Pedro mesada.

Inquire about this unique opportunity if you feel a mysterious calling to it.

Note: This journey is, by it's very nature, challenging on many levels and not for everyone.

BUT ... if you are prepared to enter the non-ordinary realms of the land, mind, and shamanic cosmology
of the ancient Moche and Chavin with an open mind, courage, unselfish intention, personal integrity,
and universal love ...

... if you can bring your best to the Mirror of the Mesa ...

then this just might turn out to be the most incredibly enlightening spiritual experience of your life!

Participation is limited to twelve intrepid pilgrims of positive intent,
sharing attitude, stout heart, relaxed travel style, adventurous spirit and sharing, forgiving, and tolerant nature..

WE WILL ENGAGE THE MIND, HEART AND SPIRIT OF ANCIENT CHAVIN SHAMANIC CONSCIOUSNESS
AT SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL AND MAGICAL PLACES ON PLANET EARTH

From those who've gone before ...
alumni references available on request

IMPORTANT NOTE!
This is the ORIGINAL  Huachuma Journey Through Time ..

Though imitation is a form of flattery, plagiarism is simply theft of the concepts and ideas of others,
and reflects a lack of integrity and inspired creativity.  Don't be deceived by unscrupulous "shamanic travel agents"
offering an imitation of our pure mesa work ...

and there's more ... !

An Andean Huachuma Pilgrimage
A despacho ceremony of offering to Pachamama with the Q'ero shamans
and two stunning Huachuma mesa works

An inspiring and intimate week-long shamanic journey to places of great spiritual power in
 the Sacred Valley and Legendary Machu Picchu

including two shamanic communions with the grand maestro Huachuma (San Pedro)
and the powerful Spirits of Nature and Cosmos at the huacas
of Chinchero and Machu Picchu.

... And a very special despacho ceremonial offering to Pachamama (Mother Earth)
with the marvelous Q'ero shamans from the high Andes ...

bearers of the Inka rainbow message of unity to all humanity.
The Andean Huachuma Pilgrimage is a supreme shamanic blessing for those who seek the big connection.
