This is an introductory online class for those interested in learning about the path and energy medicine of the Andean Mystical paqo  as taught at ASC.

The Full training, Andean Mysticism: Awakening The Seed of Self Training (ATS) starts shortly after this introductory course, within a week or two. This Introductory class is not a prerequisite for the full training, but you may want to clear your calendar for the full training, in advance, if you are considering taking it.

The Intro class:

The traditional Andean paq’os, or “shamans” live high in the mountains of Peru.They have a set of teachings, practices, and initiations unique to their environment, and an exemplary level of love and respect for one another that has served as a means of survival in these harsh conditions. Their whole world view or "Cosmovision" is based upon them. Often described as mystical in nature because they interact with the energetics of Creation directly, they focus on honing our everyday consciousness and refining our personal power to interact with these energies with the highest level of efficacy. They are truly Masters of the energetic realm.

The path of the Andean paq’o is a distinct form of “shamanism” that asks us to stay grounded and embrace our humanity, to see it as an instrument, not something to escape from or endure. Our job is to refine and hone these gifts, and to work with the personal limitations we put on ourselves, keeping us from that. We come equipped with everything we need to engage with the creative force effectively. The more aware we are of how we limit this and give out power away, the more effortless and more dynamic our exchanges become. Again, this class is an  introductory exploration of these traditional teachings. It stands on its own as a sampler, or you can use it as a leaping point into the deeper teachings of the full Andean Mysticism Training, and all subsequent classes based on it, at ASC.

Content includes:

• Learn the basic energy medicine principles of the Andean paq'o (the Quechua word for shaman or priest). 
• Learn about your energetic anatomy, as taught in this tradition.
• Learn how to engage the energetic world around you.
• Learn about how to refine your 3 human powers and your paq'o capacities
• Learn about the misha (or mesa) 
• Step onto the path of honing your personal integrity, a profound journey to self mastery.

This sampler class is a basic introduction into the complex world and teachings of the Andean Cosmovision, as they have been passed down through oral tradition since before the Inka Empire. 

• You can use these tools and this perspective to enhance your every day life.
• It is a good basic introduction to the basics of the energetic Mystical Shamanism as taught at ASC. Get to know us!
• This is also a good primer for the more advanced Andean Mystical Paqo Path training series, if you have no experience with the tradition.

Spend a day dipping your feet in the water and familiarizing yourself with the basics. See if this is a path for you!

This is a single day, three and a half hour zoom class with a small break in the middle. Please clear your schedule so you can be completely present the entire time. These are sacred teachings. Please sign up when you can devote your entire time and attention to being in the class.

Online Andean Mysticism: Awakening the Seed of Self

The Transformational Path of Andean Energy Practice and Self Mastery

Formerly offered as the Andean Foundation Training (AFT)

A Mystical Medicine Path from the High Andes of Peru

This is a two-month online intensive course of sacred teachings and transformational energy practices from the Andean paqos of Peru. These are not the plant-based traditions of the jungle, but a refined lineage of energy mastery rooted in direct communion with the mountains, the sky, and the earth.

Passed down through two ancient Inka lineages — and lovingly translated through decades of study, practice, and healing — this path introduces you to the Andean cosmovision and invites you into a living, breathing relationship with the world around you. Through energetic initiations, self-development practices, energetic exercises, and a powerful framework for perceiving energy, you’ll step onto a path of deep inner transformation and core self remembrance.

These teachings are sacred and time-honored — refined over centuries by master paqos of the Andes. But they were never meant to sit on a shelf like an esoteric textbook. They were meant to be lived.

In this course, you’ll receive the wisdom in its full integrity in a form you can hold, taste, and use. Think of it as the difference between reading a classic French cookbook in gilt hardback… and diving into the dog-eared, handwritten one with sauce stains on the pages. The recipes are the same but we want to experience them, not just read about them. This training is not about memorizing or even performance — it’s about diving in, it's about transformation.

And unlike many popular programs that weave diverse global traditions together into a generalized or commercialized “shamanic” package, this course stays true to the source. What you’ll receive here is undiluted and rooted in two Andean lineages — taught in a way that honors its full depth while translating it for your modern life. It’s practical, profound, and not a pastiche.

Why Online? Why This Way?

We get it — the idea of spending your weekend on Zoom may not sound appealing at first. But this isn’t a lecture series or a webinar you tune into passively. This is a highly experiential, embodied training where you’ll be actively engaged, practicing energy work in real time with partners and the group.

You’ll receive live energetic transmissions — and yes, they absolutely work at a distance. Energy is non-local, and intention is the conduit. Just as a phone call can carry a loved one’s voice across the globe, these teachings come through with just as much presence and potency online.

In fact, students consistently report that the energy is tangible, the connections are real, and the shifts they experience are profound — often more powerful than what they’ve felt in person elsewhere.

And there are real advantages to this format:

• You can join from anywhere — no travel, no lodging, no stress
• The course is more affordable and accessible
• You get to integrate the work in your actual life, right where you are
• You’re instantly part of an international community of committed, like-hearted people

All you need is a private space, a stable connection, and a willingness to show up fully.

What You’ll Gain

• A deep understanding of the Andean cosmovision — how they see the world, and how that worldview offers healing and reconnection
• Over 30 powerful energy practices, each one building upon the last, creating a deep internal shift
• Practices for self healing and clearing relationship discordance
• Initiations into two authentic Inka lineages and into the Fourth Level of paqo consciousness
• Profound energetic tools for personal resilience, clarity, and power
• A grounded understanding of how to perceive, track, and shift energy within yourself and others
• Connection to a global community of fellow practitioners and misha (medicine bundle) carriers
• Access to a tradition that supports healing, inner alignment, personal power and integrity, and true self-remembering

Course Structure: The Threefold Path

Weekend 1 & 2 – Paña: The Mystical Path
Teachings of Don Benito Qoriwaman of the Huascar Lineage
The path of wisdom and perception. You’ll receive foundational teachings on the Andean cosmovision, explore the external energetic world, develop energetic awareness, receive powerful initiations, align with nature beings, and begin building your personal misha (medicine bundle).

Weekend 3 – Chaupi: The Integrative Path
Teachings of Don Andreas Espinoza of the inkari Lineage
The path of Munay, or unconditional love. Agape. You’ll deepen into the energetics of relationship and self-worth. Learn to work with the main energy centers or ñawis to tune energy frequency, receive the Bands of Power (as a rewiring of your ñawis into a cohesive energetic system for perception), and gain tools for increasing the clarity in your exchanges with others.

Weekend 4 – Lloq’e: The Magical Path
Teachings of Don Melchor Desa of the Huascar Lineage
The path of action, embodiment, and refined personal power. Learn advanced energetic practices for transforming yourself from the inside out. This is the path of llank’ay — extending the reach of your personal power, and stepping into your gifts to become someone of true energetic effect.

Why Take This Path?

Everyone carries an Inka Seed beneath their heart — the seed of Self. This training is an invitation to awaken that seed, cultivate it, and learn to express it fully in the world.

You do not need to be a healer or want to become a paqo to benefit from this work. This course is for anyone seeking deeper personal development, stronger boundaries, core energy practices, energetic clarity, and tools to navigate a changing world with grace. Whether you are a parent, therapist, leader, artist, lawyer, executive or simply on a path of self-mastery — this training will meet you where you are.

Student Praise

“"Who would have thought internet conference technologies developed for traditional corporate business would become the backbone for new innovative platforms for delivering high quality non-traditional education. Christina's Andean Mysticism Program is a good case in point. Classes are easy to access regardless of where you are in the world ... Hong Kong, LA, London or Maui or a small ranch in the backwaters of NE Texas. What you give up in the in-person educational experiences you more than make up in convenience, cost, and quality of instruction. Christina's Andean Mysticism Foundation Program gets a Five Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating. Extraordinary program with lots of energy work woven into the instruction. For me, the best program I have ever participated in within the field commonly referred to as 'shamanic teachings'. This is a truer teaching comparatively, the Lamborghini of Andean indigenous teachings.”

Personal Healing

Energetic and soul-level healing to clear blocks, rewire beliefs, and restore inner coherence

In the modern West, we’re taught to identify as minds and bodies — but in indigenous traditions, it's the soul that shapes our experience. When we carry unresolved trauma or long-buried pain, that energy condenses in the body and psyche. It becomes emotional triggers, unconscious sabotage, relationship dysfunction, even chronic illness.

At ASC, we use a neuromystical approach to healing — rooted in shamanic traditions, neuroscience, and energetic precision. These sessions help locate and clear to the root of what’s stuck, often a place long before a story or memory can name it.

What Happens in a Session

Every session is a deep, immersive process tailored to what’s alive in you that day. A typical 90-minute session generally includes:

• 40 minutes of dialogue: listening to your story, exploring patterns and blocks
• 40 minutes of healing: energetic tracking, breathwork, emotional processing, soul retrieval, and recalibration
• 10 minutes of reframing: integration guidance and a take-home healing map

Because this work unfolds in layers, most clients begin with a short series of 1–3 sessions. Deeper conditions or life-long patterns may call for extended support. All sessions are conducted with sensitivity to your readiness and pacing.

How It Works

We begin by listening — to your words, your energy, your soul. Then we track where your system is holding onto outdated beliefs, emotional pain, or energetic entanglement. Using a blend of:

• Somatic and breath-based state shifts
• Andean energetic clearing, regressions, and tuning
• Soul retrieval and trauma repatterning
• Inner child integration and relationship healing

We move you out of survival states and into deeper truth and wholeness. The result is not just insight — but transformation that lasts.

“One session cleared what I hadn’t been able to access in 15 years of therapy.”
— Client testimonial, Austin, TX

Is This For You?

This work may help if you’re experiencing:

• Emotional triggers, intrusive thoughts, or negative self-talk
• Patterns of scarcity, sabotage, or “bad luck” that won’t shift
• Trouble healing from illness or injury with no clear cause
• Intimacy, attachment, or relational trauma issues
• Feeling disconnected from your calling or sense of self
• Psychedelic experiences you’ve struggled to integrate
• A sense that “something is missing” but you can’t name what

We meet your system exactly where it is — gently, precisely, and powerfully.

Remote or In-Person Sessions

Sessions are equally effective in person (Southwest Austin TX) or via Zoom or FaceTime, because your soul and energy body are not bound by space or time. What matters is that you're in a quiet, safe space where you can fully show up.

Session Details

Virtual (Zoom/FaceTime): $200
In-Person (Austin): $250
Session Length: ~90 minutes
Scheduling: Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1:00, 3:00, or 5:00 pm CT
Payment via Credit Card, PayPal, Venmo, or cash. Remote session payments due before session starts. In person paid in person.

We want to engage with you personally! Please use the form below to inquire about current openings. Once scheduled, you’ll receive full instructions on how to prepare for your session.

Ready to Go Deeper?

For some, a single session opens the door. For others, true transformation comes through a more sustained, layered process.

If you’re ready to invest more deeply in yourself — emotionally, energetically, and financially — I offer a multi-phase series designed to help you break longstanding patterns, integrate expanded states of consciousness, and repattern your life from the soul up:

Part of changing who we are is in letting parts of the dysfunctional parts of ourselves we created to function through trauma, die. Mastay in the Andean energy medicine traditions is the reorganiztion of things... This is a powerful weekend class mastay that works with exploring who you have created yourself to be, under duress, and who you truly are using energy work, self inquiry and finally, through ceremony, to let that old self die and the new self to be reborn.

This is a five part, in-person (local to Austin Texas), program designed to deepen our teachings from the Andean Foundation Training (AFT) in Mystical Shamanism series.

What you get: 

• Build you misha if you haven’t already, learn how to use it to work with the Universal energies 
• Do exercises to anchor in understanding of the ñawis, their capacities, and the bands
• Deepen your connection with the Universal Spirit beings (Teqseapukuna)
• Learn how to build different prayer bundles, or despachos to connect with each of the teqseapukuna.
• Activate and cultivate your Inka Seed
• Create community with other local paqos

Explanation:

This is a way for you to anchor in all those teachings to solidify a personal truth you can carry within you through your life experience. Here we put the rubber to the road... This set of classes helps you actualize your power as a misha carrier, giving you an opportunity to grow your personal medicine, ur karpay (personal power). 

Using the symbolism of the Inka Seed growing into a grand tree of personal expression, we are going to work with the seven teqseapukuna (universal spirit beings). Every seed on this planet needs Water, Earth, Sun, Wind, the Moon, and the Divine Masculine and Feminine to become the full expression of itself. Through this series we work on ourselves, by refining our capacities, as we deepen our relationships with each of these beings. 

As misha carriers we will use these 7 spirit beings to help us climb the qanchispatañan (seven steps of consciousness), and address the obstacles still in our paths. We will focus on the capacities of our 7 ñawis to hone our ayni, our three personal powers (Yachay, Munay, and Llankay) and to stretch into becoming the fourth level paqos we have chosen to become. Each class will be a combination of self work (ñawis and capacities), an exploration of the given spirit guide itself, and ceremony (despachos etc.) to deepen our connections with it. This is you learning first hand and in person how to be a misha carrier!

You must have completed the Andean Foundation Training series to take these classes. We work here from all of those teachings and take them deeper. No exceptions.

The Classes: Dates Start in 2026

The Waters, Mama Unu: 

This is a class where we connect with Mama Unu, the universal spirit guide of the Waters, the rains, and we start working with the unconscious aspects affecting our atiy (the control of our impulses, reflexes, and instincts) so as to cultivate right timing, and we work with how hone those powerful forces so they are useful instead of creating hucha. We will dive into shadow work and do ceremony with the Waters to help us through our process. 

The Earth, Mama Alpa: 

We connect to Mama Alpa and deepen our relationship with the Earth. We work here with our mishas and our attachments, kuyay (passionate engagement). How do we engage without needing to take possession? How do we lean into engaging when we cannot?  Khuyay is at the root of being able to connect... What stories keep us in unhealthy, hucha laden forms of attachment? Let’s work with Mama Alpa to teach us through her wisdom of cycles.

The Sun, Taita Inti: 

This is the place we work with bringing that Inka Seed more fully into form. We look at places where our crafted self impedes the expression of our true nature. We step more fully into kanay, knowing the true self. We work with the sun, fire and Munay, as ways to burn off the crust, crack the husk, open up the seed and the heart. The Sun, the one without shadow... is akin to our heart, or sonqo, that creates no hucha. Here we hone our relationship with our Inka Seed, Sonqo and Inti Tai Tai.

The Wind and the Moon,Taita Wira and Mamma Quilla: 

The Moon teaches us of cycles and is considered the intermediary between the heavens and earth, and the Wind is a messenger. We will dig in with these spirit guides to explore beginnings and endings, limited beliefs, rimay (expression), new ways of being, and refined ways of expressing ourselves. We will connect with both spirit beings for guidance in the process.

The Divine Masculine and Feminine, Wiracocha and Pachamama:

There is a time when it is important to step out of our stories from childhood and into the story that is awaiting us in adulthood. This is the place of exploring the Self, wholeness, the integration of the earthly with the divine, the three worlds, and who we are as empowered 4th level beings... reaching up the qanchispatañan to the 5th level of consciousness and beyond. How do we become taitanchis ranti? Create heaven on earth? Work with the collective? This is using our qaway, this is the paqo way, let's step into it!

Logistics:

Each class starts on a Saturday and ends on Sunday. The five classes are a series you will want to commit to, an all or nothing thing, as they progress on themselves as you are creating an ayllu (tribe), that is woven together by your shared experiences. Modules are spaced 6ish weeks apart

Class Times:

Saturday: 11:00 am- 6:00 pm
Sunday: 11:00 am- 2:00 pm.

2026 Class Dates TBD:
