Temezcal
Ancestral ceremony of Mexico where the 4 elements are honored the earth and supreme consciousness, Temazcal means “house of hot stones”; In Nahuatl Tetl = stone, Mazitli = hot; Calli = house. Tlazolteotl is Mother Earth, she is considered the goddess of the temazcal, and it is believed that she devours what we no longer serve to transform it into fertile land and transmute it into new life. Within the temazcal, which is the belly of the earth, steam makes us sweat and take toxins out of our body; the temazcal will devour them, will absorb that sweat and transform it into fertile land, ready to feed the new life. Temazcal therapy is based on the fact of causing sweat in our body by means of medicinal steam. Sweat, by itself, already has a high healing value, but in addition, inhaling the steam increases the curative capacity of the temazcal. This steam is produced by the contact of herbal water with the red-hot stones. Each herb has different medicinal qualities: for example, chamomile helps clean the eyes and restores good digestion; while eucalyptus will help fight respiratory diseases, etc. In general, this ritual serves to relax, cleanse the skin, purify the body, strengthen the heart, purify the blood, heal from many diseases, open the mind, develop perception, find solutions to problems, helps meditation. However, the purification of our being within the temazcal goes far beyond the physical, because the spirit also undergoes detoxification through the words we pronounce, negative thoughts that we eliminate, the tears we release. The temazcal will devour those destructive thoughts and emotions to transform them into new energy; in short: we will live our own rebirth from the womb of the earth in the heart of the Andes of Cusco.

Coca and Mambé Ceremony
In the Andes, the Coca leaf is considered sacred not only for its high mineral content, being the most complete in the world, but for the uses that this plant had for millennia, these leaves have the ability to impregnate energy, which is why many Andeans use this plant to put intentions by means of the word, the intentions have high vibratory loads which is absorbed by the leaves immediately, it has the ability to record the memory of a place, it is a medium to communicate with other forms of consciousness like the apus (the mountains) the sun, the rivers, the earth the water, the fire, all vibration including that of the human heart, 3 coca leaves are enough to open the heart connecting it with the mind, it brings clarity, strength, body power, mental fluidity, oxygenation which alkalinizes the body, strengthens the immune system. The Mambé is used in Shipibo towns in the Amazon basin, the Shipiban tribes administer the coca in a different way than the Andean ones, it consists of grinding the coca leaves and then roasting it while praying, adding Yarumo ashes, cocoa or of other foods, mambé has a different effect than just chewing Coca leaves, since a tablespoon of Mambé contains more nutrients than 100 coca leaves and its effect is faster and longer lasting, we work a lot with mambé and coca leaves Because it is a fundamental part of the Andean worldview and your process with us.

Cacao Ceremony
The amount of Cacao for a dose in our ceremonies is 20-40 grams of organic cacao. It begins to have a physical effect between 30 and 45 minutes after having consumed it. It accelerates the blood flow in our body, so that the irrigation in our brain increases up to 40%, bringing clarity and presence to the thought connecting it with the heart, it is there when it begins to beat with greater force. This can happen on a physical and subtle level, the energy of the heart expands, placing ourselves in the present, we can hear and feel it more clearly.

Sacred Mountain Initiation
this is a high intermediate level pilgrimage, towards Pitusiray mountain over 4 thousand meters high to a beautiful lagoon that holds different legends and myths, there are currently government excavations to find the treasure of the Incas and their place of Origin, thanks to our discoverer friend “Walid Barham Ode” who accidentally hit with a totem that was lost in history , this is about shadows in motion with forms of Inca, condor, snake and the profile of the Princess that shows in movement every equinox at sunrise, because under these shadows almost 5 thousand meters is the powerful Waka Huanacaure, as guardian of the door towards the center of the earth from where the Incas emerged as several chroniclers tell , take a full body bath in the waters of this mythical lagoon is a true way to start an initiation and you will have this mountain as your guardian along your spiritual path. Peru Entheogens considers the Pitusiray mountain the most important, even more important than Machu Picchu, because the Inca never wanted them to know where they emerged from and where they opened the treasure and inheritance of their ancestors, since all that is hidden within this Sacred mountain, the Incas covered and hid all information that reveals their place of origin, confusing the conquerors away from this Sacred mountain where only the immense and enigmatic Shadows in movement with forms of Andean mythology are visible as a codeo f their Place of Origin.
