Sacred Valley, Peru!
Started with a 5 day Salkantrey Trek to Macchu Picchu, probably one of the most physically challenging things I've done. Very high altitude, hours of hiking up mountains and more hours down on ankle breaking rocks.
Finally arriving in the Sacred Valley for a week of teachings and ceremony in Sacred sites with our Paqos, our shaman teachers for the week.
Some of the sites includes Luna Temple and 3 lakes. We even got random, rare snowfall one day in the mountain, and lots of it!
So humbling being in the presence of these beautiful beings, the way they connect with the Earth, Pachamama, and all things born of the Earth. They exist purely in their hearts. True care takers of the land. It reminds you of how disconnected we have become but their wisdom and love lives on and I'm so grateful for their work to teach us all to home to our hearts.
Last day here, I'm very sad to leave but I know I'll be back. The connection I have to the Apus, the mountains here go way back, it was like a home coming.
One big take away that i encourage all to weave into their lives is to do something for your spiritual path, if not each day, then each week to connect to the Earth, your heart, your soul in the morning before you start your day. Make it a little ceremony, only needs to be a few minutes, but spend a moment to connect, within and to all there is.
There are so many ways to create ceremony, this is grounding, brings you home to your heart and the present moment.
