Q’ero Wisdom Immersions
Families in the Mountains: North Carolina Immersion at Moon Rising Retreat Center from April 22nd – 26th.
Come join us for 5-days and 4-nights of Andean Wisdom teachings with Luis Quispe Calcina and Karina Quispe Machacca. This cultural immersion will highlight the sacred feminine teachings (nusta teachings) of the high mountains of Peru.
Our last immersion at Moon Rising was stunningly beautiful and we are delighted to continue building community with our friends in North Carolina.
The finer details of our time together are still emerging, but you can expect elements of what we offer on our annual Peru retreat to be woven into our time together. Our main areas of focus are traveling to sacred sites, receiving karpay, creating traditional offerings of gratitute, receiving teachings and building sacred altars for personal and collective awakening.
Please check out our annual Peru retreat below to learn more about some of the ways we share and tend ancestral memory.
Annual Andean Wisdom Immersion, Peru
August 6th – 15th, 2026
Group Size Limited to 18 Participants to Ensure Individualized Attention and Support
We are calling in a small group of kind participants to join us on a powerful journey through the Sacred mountains of Peru. All you need are strong legs and an open heart.
Sharing this experience fills our hearts with joy and it is truly something special. Let us journey high into the mountains with the earth keepers of Q’eros nation. We will directly experience the magic of Peru by walking together, and forging powerful connections with spirit and each other.
High Ratio of Healers and Facilitators to Participants
. We have made special considerations to protect the potency of this retreat by limiting it’s size to 14 participants maximum. This ensures quality connections with our crew of 2 Q’ero teachers and 2 experienced facilitators who offer a wealth of knowledge and skilful support.
Fair Exchange with Our Brothers and Sisters of Q’eros Nation
Pakarina Wisdom is in the process of gaining non-profit status in order to create a foundational structure that is better suited to healthy reciprocity with the larger community of Q’eros Nation.
Complete Teachings and Ongoing Support from the Lineage Holders
This experience is crafted to strengthen your connection to Pacha Mama and the Apus (tutelary spirits of the mountains) by providing a careful set of instructions to start building your network of spirit allies. All participants will be initiated into the Q’ero lineage through traditional transmissions (karpay) that offer a strong foundation and launch pad for personal and professional healing.
These teaching are concentrated seeds that will continue to grow and flourish for years to come. We encourage our students to maintain contact with the lineage holders for continued growth and private instruction at your own pace.
Direct Experience of Powerful Sacred Sites that Weave Beautifully into our Energy Medicine Practices
Each of our four stops: Apu Ausangate, Apu Salkantay, Mama Simona, Q’eros Nation and the condor overlook will be potent portals of activation and learning through rich ceremonial work with the elements and Apus.
This is an excellent value that provides a fair exchange for the hard work our teachers and facilitators put in to making this a quality experience.
Purification lodges can deeply enrich our work together. Our sweat lodges are held by experienced Sun Dancers who hold great reverence and respect for this beautiful medicine and the traditions from which it is shared. We have found that honoring the sacred altars of the condor and eagle potentiates transformation and helps us to better house the powerfull transmissions we receive from our Q’ero elders.

“The majestic experience with Don Agustín, Santos and Richy was a highlight for me in my life path of healing. We rode on horseback in Ausangate. An eagle soared overhead and I can not find words to desribe the energy and beauty of the land, Simply in awe. Working with this friendly team of souls was and continues to be a benefit to me on this healing path, The gentleness, kindness, and willingess to share knowledge was such a gift. I highly recommend this experience. Don Agustin is gifted with a quiet demeanor and carries powerful connections. I hope to work again with this team soon. I received four karpay from Don Agustin. Each one knocked my socks off. Simply put, epic.”
