queer spirit: peruvian journey to self
october 6-19, 2008

Join us for a transformational journey to the enchanted Andes of Peru, accessing the nature of their ancient sites with the assistance of the shamanic ceremonies, medicine plants, and spirits indigenous to these lands and people.

For 14 days and 13 nights we will travel the land of Peru, taste of the culture, be with the people and explore with the assistance of the ceremonies the magic of our lives and the seeking of higher purpose. In many cultures one journeys and seeks after visions for guidance in life. This trip to Peru can be seen as a Vision Quest, a journey of profound proportions, seeking life transformation and insights.

Two years ago I embarked on this same journey, and I worked on having clear intention and focus in my relationship with self and others. It was this journey, these ceremonies, the plant medicine, the community and sharing that opened incredible opportunities and insights in my life. It is with great enthusiasm that I promote and encourage this journey to you.

Those going on this journey will be asked to commit to a discipline of defining intentions for this trip in essay/journal exercises (We will help you out). Think of this as a commitment of exploring possibilities. We would encourage the reading of The Four Agreements and Voice of Knowledge by Miguel Ruiz as preparation for this journey. For those of you from Utah we will hold monthly talking circles to prepare for this work so as to maximize your stated intent.

There will be plenty of tourist activities as well as yoga, meditation, ceremony, talking circles and FUN.

I am able to accept credit card payments for this trip; you are welcome to make monthly payments as long as all payments and confirmations are completed by August 20, 2008. This will allow our guide to confirm travel/housing accommodations for this trip. Please feel free to contact me with questions. Right now, if you feel called to do this trip, I am asking that you RSVP your desire to go by contacting us now. This will allow me to know how many people are considering this offer. You can also request a pamphlet that contains this same information with photos attached.
