Are you a SuperCeptor? In this weekend online workshop we will be looking at how to work with energy effectively, based on the concepts that come out of the Andean paqo (shamanic) traditions. We look at how these beliefs may be used to enhance our own and we will see if we can reframe our relationship with energy so we have a more empowered experience with it, rather than a diminishing one.  We will examine our beliefs around energy, share our experiences, and find ways to be able to hone our gifts. We will be focusing on using energetic exercises from the Andean training to step out of victim and into empowerment.

• Day 1: Let's talk about what we know! And what our beliefs are... what do we believe and why? How do we get stuck?
• Day 2: Let's do some energetic exercises to come back into balance, to deal with overwhelm, to step out of victim and into empowerment.

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, the Andean Mysticism Training 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.

The Andean Mysticism Training (or AMFT): 

A Mystical Medicine Path from the high Andes of Peru.

This is a two month online intensive course of study.

Through a series of spiritual teachings and energy practices handed down through elders from the high Andes of Peru you step onto an ancient path of wisdom, heart, magic and mysticism. This is not the plant medicines of the jungles, this is a highly refined and elegant form of energy medicine that comes down straight from the tops of the mountains. It is a set of exercises and initiations, practices and understandings, that were passed down through two ancient lineages of healers, or paqos. that date back to the Inka. Andean paqos maintain a living connection with the natural world. Here you train as they trained, learning how to establish and maintain those connections. In the Andean world it is said that the fastest runner circles back to teach the slowest how to run better. These teachings are their offerings to us... from that place of their hearts.

Benefits:

• An understanding of the Andean Cosmovision (wold view) and how it differs from new age spirituality, other forms of "shamanism" and North American first people spiritual perspectives. How we see the world affects how we engage it. Learn theirs.
• A deep understanding of the Andean paqo (shaman, healer, priest) traditional energetic practices used for self development
• An approach to Energy Medicine that is very powerful and transformative​
• Initiations into 2 inka lineages
• Initiation into the 4th level of paqo consciousness
• Stories and teachings from three Mystical Maters, myths from old Inka lore
• Practical tools for self development, stability and resilience
• A series of over 30 energy practices, offered in sequence, that literally transform you and set you firmly on the paqo path.
• Be part of an international community of misha carriers who gather and do group energy practices together for healing and for improving the world!

About

The series is sacred journey, with definitive sequential steps, so it is important to set aside the time to really dive in completely. Yes, it is online. The energy of creation is everywhere! You don't need to retreat to a sacred mountain getaway to do this, you just need to see the value in the process. To see value in carving out some sacred me-time for yourself. Many of us gather in person (Austin TX) to practice and do ceremony together, and we also have an international online practice group. Strangely, technology is reminding us that we are all connected, in every moment of every day! 

The Teachings

These are the sacred teachings of three old school Andean Master paqos, Don Bonito Qoriwaman, Don Andreas Espinoza, and Don Melchor Desa. They were originally taught to Juan Nuñez del Prado of Peru. Christina has learned them from Juan himself, his son Ivan, and through extensive study with Joan Parisi Wilcox. She brings these teachings through, in their traditional form, and infuses them with her own deep understanding of physics, psychology, biology and neuroscience. Christina also brings to her teaching over 30 years of practical experience helping people heal from trauma using these and other practices. While these teachings are the path of the traditional paqo, this wisdom applies to anyone wanting to improve their relationships with self, nature and with others. 

Once you have completed the series with Christina you can return as many times as you'd like to retake it at half the price, refining and deepening both your understanding of the material and its practices.

Content Includes:

• The Mystical Teachings: The Paña, or right side of the path. These are the teachings of Master Don Benito Qoriwaman. This is the path of knowledge and wisdom, the yachay path. It teaches us about the Andean Cosmovision and how to interact with the external energetic world. We receive initiations, learn about how to engage the energetic world, begin the journey of honing our perceptions of energy, learn the core energetic practices of this tradition, learn about despachos, and we build a misha (mesa) or medicine bundle. We spend two weekends here.
• The Integration Teachings: The Chaupi, or middle path (traditional path of the Q'ero Indians). These are the teachings of Master Don Andreas Espinosa. This is the teaching of Munay, or unconditional love. This work is relational. It addresses your energetic exchanges with others. You will learn in depth about your energetic anatomy, as it is defined by the Andean systems, and your capacities. You will receive the bands of power and learn how use them to tune energy to several different frequencies as a healing practice. This is our 3rd weekend.
• The Magical Teachings: The Lloq'e, or left side of the path. These are the teachings of Master Don Melchor Desa. This is the path of action or llank'ay. It is the path of going within to refine your personal power, or karpay. We will do a lot of energetic exercises in this side to help you evolve to a person of great energetic effect. This is the path of action and embodiment, of purposely working on stepping yourself up to a more evolved and effective holder of personal power. This is our fourth and final weekend.

Why would someone want to take these classes?

We are all born with an Inka Seed beneath our hearts. It is ours to develop and to bring into its full potential. The more conscious we are, the more aware we are of how we diminish ourselves, and the more able we are to work through those blocks to better express that seed. And when we evolve  our conscious awareness we push the human collective consciousness forward. While some of you may want to use this material to lay down a foundation for being a more adept healer, this set of classes is also an effective set of teachings and exercises to help anyone become more aware and effective at whatever they do! From parent, to CEO.

To maximize your experience, please make sure you are available for each entire weekend class period, both Saturday and Sunday, for each of the four weekends. This is an alchemical process… Your presence and participation all the way through are essential if you want to “get it!”

This course can be taken by recording only, if you prefer, but it is highly recommended that you are present for each class if you truly want the benefits of this set of classes as an energetic transmission and  initiation.

"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. And even the in person aspects have found new ways to be taught and experienced through this fascinating technology. 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." GAB

In this online weekend class we explore the relationship between the Inka Seed, or core self/divine essence, and the poqpo, our earthly construct for living on the planet, or soul, and the psychological concept of the psyche. Some people refer to this as the interface between the spirit and the soul, or the higher self and mind.  

In the process of this exploration we look at the Jungian concepts of persona, shadow and self and how they align with the Andean teachings on advancing self consciousness. We look at how our coping strategies misrepresent the messaging of our core self, creating shadow, and as well intended as we were in creating them, they generally lock us into dysfunctional relationships with ourselves. 

To step into our personal power and a more authentic expression of our core selves we need to be able to see how we have put ourselves together. To help our clients recognize their dysfunction we need to explore these dynamics within ourselves. 

Prerequisite: Andean Mysticism Foundational Training

Date: TBD

Time: 11:00 am-2:30 pm CT USA

This is a local workshop in Austin Texas. It is an extension of the work we did in the Inner Tawantin, or the Poqpo and The Psyche online classes.

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. 

Prerequisites:

• Online Andean Mysticim Foundational Training

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

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