Residential Retreat: Accommodation and all meals are included.

Reclaim lost parts of yourself through the ancient practice of Animo Wachay.

Rooted in the sacred traditions of the Q’ero people of Peru, this immersive residential retreat offers healing practitioners a rare opportunity to explore authentic soul retrieval practices. Over three transformative days, you’ll learn how to identify signs of soul loss, connect with Andean cosmology, and begin to integrate this deep ceremonial work into your path and practice.

What You’ll Receive:

An Authentic Experience of Animo Wachay

Step into the heart of a powerful soul retrieval tradition, guided by teachings

rooted in the Q’ero lineage of the Peruvian Andes. This is a rare opportunity to connect with a living lineage and learn practices not widely available in the West.

Training Tailored for Practitioners

Gain tools to recognise soul loss and begin to explore how this sacred work can support your clients, your community, and your own spiritual journey.

Create a Personal Soul Retrieval Bundle

Craft a medicine bundle as a symbolic bridge for calling back soul fragments — a practice rich in meaning, beauty, and healing.

Immerse Yourself in Andean Cosmology

Learn to navigate the three worlds — Ukhu Pacha, Kay Pacha, and Hanaq Pacha — and understand how this cosmology supports soul healing and wholeness.

This Workshop Is Ideal For

• Healing practitioners seeking to expand their toolkit
• Those experiencing feelings of disconnection, restlessness, or lack of vitality
• Anyone recovering from trauma, illness, or major life transitions
• Spiritual seekers drawn to indigenous wisdom traditions
• Those called to a deeper connection with the natural world

Integration Support: To support your ongoing growth, two online integration sessions will be held via Zoom after the retreat. These sessions are designed to help you deepen your understanding, integrate the Mesa activations, and receive continued guidance from your facilitators. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, share your experiences, and connect with the group as you bring these teachings into your daily life. Details and dates will be provided upon registration.

What to Bring:

• A notebook and pen for personal insights
• Comfortable clothing for indoor and outdoor practice
