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 by his mentor don Celso Rojas Palomino 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 August 9, 2024.

About the Apprenticeship Five Parts

Part 1: The Call to Heal: Releasing the Past                             August 9, - 11, 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                        November 15 - 17, 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                          February 21 - 23, 2025

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                 May 9 - 11, 2025

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                                         August 8 - 10, 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.

REVIEWS

It is hard to put into words just how transformative learning the pachakuti mesa tradition with Renée has been for me. The tools that she teaches help to silence the noise and pare things down to the essence, like the deepest kind of therapy. Learning how to traverse both the internal world as well as accessing the higher realms has helped me navigate life with more confidence and a deeper meaning than I ever thought possible. - JULIA BROKAW

I was hesitant at first to make the financial and time commitment to the PMT apprenticeship having never done anything like it before, but it became an invaluable anchor in my life through the duration of the course, something I looked forward to, never overburdening me, and ultimately something I would carry forward with me forever. The guidance Renee gives you establishes a depth and richness to your relationship with your mesa, layers upon layers, that is deeply felt and that remains. It becomes a real relationship in your life - a tool you will always have with the potential for inexplicable infinite healing, for yourself, and also to direct at others, the planet, and all life. Taking the course also shifted my awareness and appreciation for cosmic gifts. It made me notice more of what’s around me and sensitive in a new way to the the spirit/life force in everything. I can’t imagine life now without this feeling, this knowing. - LIA LIV

Renée is a master teacher and embodies the soul of this tradition. Her authenticity, generosity, and respectful practice of this healing art impart an implicit understanding , beyond words, of the power of the originating mystery that feeds all of creation. - Christy M.
