To begin a process of weaving a sacred container of apprenticeship, our first session together will include the creation (or re-creation) of your own mesa as a sacred ground. Designed to offer new material and a profound depth of experience for even longtime mesa carriers, the series is also open to newcomers to this path. All who are seeking immersion in ancestral wisdom traditions, anchored in the practices of the Pachakuti Mesa and other transformational shamanic practices, are welcome!
