Day 3 Tuesday September 7th, Urubamba/Moray: After a delicious Peruvian Breakfast, Lady Madeleine will be leading us into the Grail Mantra and the importance of daily reverence rituals follow by Vera and the teachings of the Four Directions. We then gather in circle to welcome Bernadette, our lady shaman as she lead us through a very special and ancient ritual Pago to Pacha Mama also know as Despacho. During this Offering Ritual to Mother Earth we will honor the Apus (mountains Spirits) and ask for their blessings, guidance and strength. This ceremony will also be a very special moment to give thanks to all the Spirits that guided us together as well as to ask their blessings for a transformational journey. Our initiation into the Incan Tradition has begun.
After lunch we will travel for an hour to experience one of the most sacred sites in the Valley, Moray. Moray holds us in nurturing, loving and warm energy. Here you will experience the mystery of the Incas, as we climb down to the center of the Earth Grounding our roots into the Heart of the Mother, you will feel yourself in need of silence and time to just BE. We gather in a circle and allow the energies to express. All is possible when in Moray. So open your heart and let your Spirit guide you to heal, sing, dance and to transform.

Day 4 Wednesday September 8th, ~ Urubamba/Ollantaytambo: After breakfast we gather with Ladies Madeleine and Vera for teachings of the heart. Raising the powerful earth vibrations from yesterday throughout our bodies opening the wisdom of the heart. We then travel to Ollantaytambo, the Incan Temple of the Sun also known as The Pyramid of Pakaritambo or The Dawning Place of Tomorrow. Here we will experience a profound energy that is somehow connected to six enormous pink stones that were mysteriously transported to this place. Prior to the Incas, this was a Lemurian Temple dedicated to Love and utilizing this heart vortex energy Lady Bernadette will lead an ancient purification ritual, supporting ourself to release and let go of what is blocking us from fully express our inner light. After lunch we continue our intentions to rise the energies while opening our power centers. Our next ritual will be at the temple of Mother Snake or Serpent of Light, here Lady Bernadette will offer another ancient practice of blessings.
Return to our hotel for SPA, meditation and journal. After dinner, our Ladies Madeleine, Bernadette and Vera will lead a New Moon Ceremony.
Day 5 Thursday September 9th, More of the Sacred Valley/Pisac: Today we continue our celebration by traveling to the southern end of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, to the pueblo of Pisac. Modern Pisac is a picturesque Andean Village, typical except for the huge, spreading tree that dominates the central square. The village is best known for its Indian market, which draws hundreds of tourists each week. In spite of its popularity, the market retains much of its local charm, at least in the part where villagers from miles around gather to barter and sell their produce, making it a special place to interact with the Quechua People (Inca’s decedents). At this local market we will see the real flavor of Peru; people dressed in their traditional and regional clothing, musicians playing the pan flutes, farmers with their many varieties of corn and potatoes (over 200), and of course the many artisans who hand-make beautiful wool and Alpaca rugs, blankets, and sweaters. High above the present day village of Pisac lie the impressive Pisac ruins. The ruined city provides one of the finest examples of stonework and the panoramic views at Pisac's Inca citadel are magnificent. Terraces, water ducts and steps have been cut out of solid rock, and in the upper sector of the ruins, the main Sun Temple is equal of anything at Machu Picchu. Guido, our tour guide, will take those that desire to hike up for few hours to experience the energies of this special site. In our way back to our hotel, we will stop for a short visit to the enchanted home of the the artistic family of Seminario. Seminario's art is a message from the past. The artistry of Pre¬Incan sculpture was almost lost to history. Seminario discovered the ancient traditional Pre¬Inca sculptures and lives his dream of recreating them. Having become internationally recognized for his work, the Field Museum of Chicago is currently developing a permanent exhibition of Seminario’s work. His work stands as one of Peru’s treasures. Return to our hotel for dinner. Free evening for relaxing, SPA and journal and preparing for tomorrow’s big event, our first encounter with the Crystal City, Machu Picchu.
Day 6 Friday September 10th Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu: In the early morning we will board a train to Machu Picchu. The breathtaking view of the Urubamba Valley, where time stands still, will be a special preparation for our arrival in the Sacred Crystal City, known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. After we check into our hotels in the Aguas Calientes village and have lunch, we take the local bus up to the mountain and 30 minutes later we will be experiencing one of the most special moments of our journey, a moment many of us have dreamed for along time, and now it has finally come true. Machu Picchu was a University where knowledgeable women practiced daily spirituality. Before entering Machu Picchu Vera will guide us into a process to anchor our heart energy with the heart of Pachamama and center ourselves with the heart of Machu Picchu. We then approach the original front portal of Machu Picchu and ask permission from Machu Picchu’s spiritual guides as we enter its sacred walls. After a Sunset meditation at Intihuatana, the highest point of Machu Picchu, we take the last bus down to the village where you can enjoy the recommended Peruvian food offered at Indio Feliz (Happy Indian) restaurant. www.hatuchaytower.com/ (4 star) www.inkaterra.com/en/machu-picchu (5 star)
