The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition®: Cross-Cultural Shamanic Arts for Personal and Planetary Renewal (PMT) is a five-part series of intensives in the shamanic practices of restoring harmony, health and the shared purpose of earth stewardship, throughout the world. This program aligns the traditional shamanic arts of Peru and the wisdom of its heritage with the needs of the present day addressing a transformational moment of planetary and human history across the globe.
This heartfelt initiation into the healing power and earth honoring ceremonial artistry of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition (PMT), as originated by world-renowned kamasqa curandero don Oscar Miro-Quesada, is inspired by the living soul which sustains the various ancient traditions of Peruvian Curanderismo. Don Oscar was asked to bring this Wisdom and share it with North America and the rest of the world some 30 years ago. The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition maintains contemporary relevance in its dedication to compassionate personal and planetary transformation.
Sanctioned by the PMT Lineage and by don Oscar, curandera and stellar teacher Renée Davenport is offering the PMT Apprenticeship in Los Angeles, California beginning March 8, 2024
About the Apprenticeship Five Parts
Part 1: The Call to Heal: Releasing the Past March 8-10, 2024
This apprenticeship workshop initiates participants into the Pachakuti Mesa, a powerful and sacred altar. Students learn how to create their own mesas and work with them for self-empowerment, transformation, and helping others. Through shamanic journey and visionary states of consciousness, participants will explore the three worlds of the Andean cosmovision, sacred reciprocity with all that is, the core ingredients of ceremonial mastery, sacred sound and ritual language, healing, and curanderismo, and the inner world of the ukhupacha.
Part 2: A Balance of Power: Transforming the Present May 31-June 2, 2024
During this workshop intensive, participants will apprentice in the center direction of the mesa, traditional Peruvian healing practices, and the kaypacha, the middle world. They will explore the kaypacha’s elemental matrix and magico-spiritual power, and learn about the moon’s presence in the middle world, mapping the cosmos on Earth, and celestial death and rebirth.
Part 3: The Condor’s Quest: Creating the Future September 6-8, 2024
This workshop is an initiation into the paqokuna, the Andean Shaman/Priesthood mystical path, the lineage of the sacred mountains, and the five virtues of the mesa. Participants will also journey to and experience the hanaqpacha, the upper world beyond the physical, work with the unseen world there, and deepen their connection to their own spiritual resources.
Part 4: The Hummingbird’s Ascent: Living the Mystery November 15-17, 2024
In this apprenticeship workshop students will experience the upper world and learn about its lightning bolt of mystical illumination and the flow of kamasqa, the power of Creation. They will work with the elements, the forces of the universe, the body of Mother Earth, and sacred healing objects. In sacred reciprocity participants will create despachos to honor Mother Earth, the sacred mountains, the elements, the unseen world, and prepare for a paqowachu, a sacred pilgrimage.
Part 5: The Shamanic Self: Serving the Earth January 24-26, 2025
This workshop deepens participants’ experience of soul and spirit through ritual process, including the spiritual creation, activation and care of an apacheta. Students will work with the power of creation in the kaypacha or middle world, dimensionality and time, as well as with the three suns, and the hampikamayoq process (ancient breathing techniques for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being and transformation). Participants will be further empowered by evoking both seen and unseen sources of cosmic awareness within their mesa, sacred objects and own being, and initiation into the lineage of this revered tradition.
