PDF Journey to Peru 2012

This journey of the power of the heart and sun leads us to the sacred Urubamba valley, from Cusco to Machu Picchu, crossing the highest road pass of Peru (4,300 m; ca. 12,900 ft) to Lake Titicaca. It is a journey to the majestic and awe-inspiring Andes of South Peru and Northern Bolivia, to the center of the sacred and vital places of the ancient Incas.
Many of the world’s leading spiritual voices, indigenous teachers and even the Dalai Lama acknowledge that the focus of the new female expression has been anchored in South America, specifically Peru, around Lake Titicaca and the sacred valley. This region has been recognized to be a “portal”, through which the new female energies emerges – gentle, but at the same time powerful energies, the energy of the heart. These rays of the new light support mankind in the awakening of a new consciousness. Many people experience an inner call to visit these ancient and sacred places and thus contribute to their new power, vitality and emanation.
We consider ourselves to be children of the light who take the opportunity of this journey to welcome the new Pachakuti (return of the light and joy). By visiting the ancient and sacred places, through meditations and ceremonies, we can re-experience our connections to the Sun and the Earth and shift our perspective regarding our personal lives and creation.
