Journey through the Sacred Valley (7 Days)

(Journey to follow the Flower of Life Workshop in Paz y Luz, Pisac)

October 28 - November 3 2009

This is an opportunity to journey through the crystal valley of the sacred Urubamba river in central Peru, merging the depth and beauty of the ancient energy and traditions of the Andes with the heart expanding energy of the MerKaBa.
The intent is to journey through this unique area of the world and utilize the energies of the living MerKaBa to open our hearts and connect with the very special energies of Mother Earth that are now present in this area. The desire is to offer and receive the healing that comes from such a merging of heart energy.
We will connect with the Sacred Valley through some of the Incan and Pre-Incan ruins, including Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo, Pisac and Sacsayhuaman. We will have a guide who will connect us with the history and some of the Andean beliefs, and we will also offer our heart energies through the Merkaba and other meditations at these sacred sites.
