About the Tour

Many indigenous cultures and contemporary spokespeople referred to 2012 as a pivotal time of great change for the (energies of the) planet and the consciousness of mankind. In order to most effectively navigate this evolutionary shift we need to be connected to our Self, the living Spirit of our planet, and our own personal vision of Life. Journey of Awakening 2012 offered a deep transformational journey where we could release outmoded energy enabling us (to open to more of) expand our personal light, and (the integration of that light into) revision our lives. We visited ancient and inspiring Inca (and pre-Inca) power places, explored traditional sacred plant-medicines, shamanic rituals, and Q’ero ceremonies – and (the) weave (ing of) these teachings into the fabric of our current experience.
