Hello!
I am sending love from Peru! Here is a photo of our group in the town of Qoya in the sacred valley.
This trip has been a dream come for me. I felt the call and came to Peru for the first time 13 years ago and heard the word Qoya for the first time. Since then, the consciousness of Qoya has been something I have been doing my best to listen to, embody, and share.
I experience this energy as the one that nourishes. Wherever you find yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually, how can you bring a sense of compassionate curiosity and embodied presence there?
In the state of the world, I find myself weeping, remembering that grief is also a way to honor the pain of the world. Then I do my best to connect with the healing forces of nature to get my instructions on what I can do today to create, to offer compassion and care.
Under the full moon in Gemini, I feel the ideas, inspirations, and inquiries all swirling around, and I remember that when I am able to reconnect with the interconnected ways of life, I belong to a bigger prayer and purpose.
My life has been so powerfully and positively transformed by the opportunity to study with the Q’ero, the indigenous elders of the Andean tradition of nature mysticism. I invite you to explore the opportunities below to support yourself in these times that you may be able to meet the moment of your life and the world we share.
There are several opportunities to study with the Q'ero teachers online and in San Jose, California from November 29th - December 4th.
This is a rare opportunity, as most people have to travel to Peru in order to study with them in person, so if you feel called, I strongly encourage you to follow the call!

With love from the full moon in Peru,
Rochelle
