This two-year, five weekend apprenticeship series is a profound initiation into the shamanic arts of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition as originated by don Oscar Miro Quesada. These powerful wisdom teachings in earth-honoring ceremony and compassionate healing service for personal and planetary transformation are for both current mesa carriers and those new to this lineage tradition. Don Oscar has expertly prepared a group of dedicated THOTH-endorsed teachers to carry these teachings out into the world. The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition: Cross-Cultural Shamanic Arts for Personal and Planetary Renewal apprenticeship series is currently scheduled
Five Weekend Apprenticeship Sequence
Each weekend intensive of The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition: Cross-Cultural Shamanic Arts for Personal and Planetary Renewal builds upon the others. The program’s intention is to awaken in every participant who completes the series a remembrance of their incarnational purpose as luminous strands of the Great Web of Life in service to the Seven Generations.
