IN THE ARMS OF THE MOTHER/ A SHAMANIC JOURNEY IN TO THE ANDES OF CHILE For men and women With LUZCLARA Join a circle of sisters and brothers sharing for a 10 day retreat into the “Belly of the Mother”. In the young and rugged evolving Andes mountains where the feminine ray is entering the planet and the Kundalini energy has anchored its roots, we will strengthen and deepen our connection to the Earth Mother and the magic within. Accompanied by Luzclara, and our group of horsemen and assistants, we will travel by horse and mules to our base camp in the Chilean Andes Mountains at 8.700 ft. There we will camp for 5 days among the condors, deep valleys and vast fields of wild flowers with crystalline pools of waters. In this spectacular environment we will do ceremonies of sweat lodge, healing and also there will be time for shared circles of expression and celebration, We will horse ride to high peaks, as well as solitary questing. The remaining days will be spent on Luzclara’s “Luz Del Maipo” center in the village of San Alfonso, nestled between high mountains alongside the roaring rapids of the Maipo River. Here we will do sound healing in the Goddess Temple, transmition of the Rites of the Way of the Shaman from the Q’ero nation from Peru and finally a big celebration to honor our work together.
