“THE SUN BEHIND THE SUN, FATHER SUN
AND OUR HEART ARE ONE”

Pilgrimage/Seminar – Journey to the Sacred Power Places of the Ancient Incas in Peru and Bolivia
September 9 – 26, 2012

Sacred Travel Peru with Jorge Luis Delgado - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rJUJ0o2qG4

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.

We are honored to be guided and accompanied by Jorge Luis Delgado, a sage and expert in Peruvian spiritual culture and history who is also well-known in the western world. Jorge Luis lives in the heritage and tradition of the Incas as a “Chacaruna”, a person who creates bridges and connections between all realities or levels of consciousness. His presence makes it easy to experience and know that spiritual and physical lives are not separate.
Jorge’s intention is to support people in recognizing the divine on Earth, to connect cultures and to bring the ancient dream of the return of the Children of the Sun into the reality of our lives.

We consider ourselves to be pilgrims rather than tourists when we connect by meditation, inner stillness and ceremonies with the real power of the “crystalline city” which is physically remote from our normal civilization. In our first ceremony we ask permission from the beings of the most sacred of all known Inca-cities, the puma, the condor and the light of the spirits of the place, to visit this city.

Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world, a sacred body of water, home of the legendary Incan Solar Disk and focal point for UFO-phenomena. We will meditate on the reed-boats. Here, in these elevated frequencies, we find it easy to calm our minds and to connect to our authentic selves.
