Shamanic Practitioner and Arts Counsellor

Q'ero Masterclasses and Spiritual Retreats September 2025

I am very excited to host master healers Don Agustin and his son Santos Machacca Apaza to offer these beautiful shamanic workshops in the UK, in September 2025.

We will be running the following masterclasses – more details on all these below…

Don Agustin Machacca Florez is a Pampamesayok, paqo, healer, and a wizard of light but mostly his heart seems to hold endless Munay and respect for all living beings. Don Agustin started to walk the path of light in his early years, when his grandfather read in the coca leaves that this was his path.

He is aged 63 and has a permanent life in the village of Cochamocco, Q’eros with his wife and relatives. He travels from here to perform his work and spread his wisdom. His son Santos will join us as a translator, organiser, and Pampamesayok in his own right.

Pampamesayoks source their power and information from the land, working in reciprocity or ‘Ayni’. The medicine people within the Q’ero nation are known as “paqos,” which means “priest or mystic” in Quechuan, the language of the Inca. Being in the full presence of this ancient wisdom can forever change the way we perceive the world around us. It opens the infinite door into our Llankay (the power of service and body). Yachay (the power of mind, wisdom, and knowledge) and Munay (the power of Love, willpower, and emotions).

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

Who is this for?

Ideal for practitioners, therapists, and seekers drawn to indigenous healing arts, especially those navigating trauma, transitions, or a longing for deeper connection.

Purpose of the Online Sessions
The online sessions are designed to help participants integrate and deepen the teachings and practices learned during the in-person workshop. These sessions provide a supportive space to revisit key concepts, ask questions, share experiences, and receive further guidance as you apply the practices in your daily life

How the Online Sessions Work

  • Timing: The online sessions are scheduled after the main workshop, giving you time to reflect and practice on your own before reconnecting with the group.
  • Format: Each session is interactive, featuring group discussions, Q&A, and practical exercises. You’ll have opportunities to share your progress, receive feedback, and clarify any uncertainties
  • Content: The focus is on integrating the Mesa activations (or other workshop-specific practices), troubleshooting challenges, and building confidence in using the techniques independently.
  • Tools: Sessions are held via Zoom.

Why Integration Sessions Matter

  • They reinforce learning and help you retain more of what you experienced during the workshop
  • They provide ongoing support, so you don’t feel “on your own” after the retreat.
  • They foster a sense of community, allowing you to connect with fellow participants and share your journey
