Inca Mesa Yachay
Registration is now open!
Registration for our 6-month online journey from February 6th, 2026 until July 16, 2026 is now open. You are invited to study with us online as part of our sixth annual cohort. Online classes are an excellent preparation for our 10-day in-person immersion in the high mountains of Peru (August 6th – 15th). These in-person gatherings are a beautiful opportunity to receive karpay in-person, and to expand on the online teachings in the presence of the Apus.
BIG NEWS: We are introducing new teachings into this years cohort and will be building an entirely new mesa. The Ñusta mesa will deepen our understanding of the 7-rays of the rainbow and their connections to the stars. We are thrilled to hear the voices of Sebastiana and Remigia as we weave the sacred feminine energies of the Andes into our lives. For continuing students, our original mesas will still be an integral part of our work together. You will have many opportunities to nourish what already been seeded while expanding into the world of the feminine teachings.

- Learn energetic care practices.
- Learn to conduct healing sessions and soul retrievals.
- Gain a strong sense of center and stability by developing knowledge of the Andean Cosmo-Vision.
- Learn how to create traditional earth offerings (despacho) that strengthen prayers and promote sacred reciprocity with the natural world.
- Practice new skills with peers as you step onto the path of the Pampamesayok.
- Connect with spirit allies for communion, guidance, and support along the path.
- Receive karpay (energetic transmissions and rites) that beautifully weave the blessings of Pachamama and the Q’ero lineage into one’s way of being and unique expression of service.
- Detailed practice videos and assignments are included to help you embody these teachings so that they can be carried forward with skill and confidence.

- Ongoing students will receive 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year learning objectives and additional guidance to assist the natural progression of our foundational teachings and competencey in their practice.
We will meet the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Friday of each month for two-hours each session, totaling 18 sessions. During these sessions you will have the opportunity to connect with Pampamesayok Don Agustin Machacca Florez, Luis Quispe Calcinas and Santos Machaca Apaza in a small group setting. Note, the 2nd Friday of each month will be facilitated without the Q’eros present so that we are able to practice without back-and-forth translations. Course materials will be provided to aid in your integration of the material. Mesa cloths with bells and ties are available for $200 USD plus shipping.
This course is especially beneficial to those who wish to bring added energy and support into their personal and professional practice. It is open to those who wish to strengthen their connection to beautiful allies, learn powerful ways to strengthen prayer, and bring healing to themselves, their families, and the planet through ancestral practices and service to Pacha Mama. Others who would benefit include:
- Energy Workers
- Therapists
- Healing Arts Practitioners
- Mesa (medicine bundle) and pipe carriers.
- Those with a strong meditation or subtle body practice.
- Those who have worked extensively with plant medicines.
- Those who wish to strenghten their connection with the Andean wisdom traditions.
- Those who have worked previously with Don Agustín Machacca Florez
- Those with a sincere wish to connect more deeply to Pacha Mama and the Apus.
- Those who honor the indigenous wisdom traditions as a way of bringing healing and harmony to themselves, their family, their communities and the planet.
Additional Offerings: We recognize that integrating the Andean medicine and walking this path takes time. For this reason, we encourage lasting relationships with our teachers so that support is available for continued growth and maintained integrity of the tradition. Because karpay are traditionally transmitted in person, we also recommend receiving these rites face-to-face down the road. For this reason, we have created an in-person retreat designed for those who have completed the online course. Ultimately, our goal is to make sure participants have long-term access to support and continued learning with the lineage holders.

“The majestic experience with Don agustin, 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 of 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 Agustín. Each one knocked my socks off. Simply put, epic.”
