The Way of the Altomesayoq Research Project

In 2005, I traveled to Peru for the third time having spent the previous five years in an intense apprenticeship studying Andean shamanism. This time to experience the elusive Altomesayoq tradition.

It’s early Spring, and I’ve just received formal invitation to be part of a new and exciting adventure in Peru this summer. Jose Luis Herrera had informally invited me when I last saw him for a week-long class in Utah. 

As a result of don Manuel’s last despacho ceremony, which I attended during a 2003 trip to Peru with Jose Luis, he has been courting Altomesayoq mountain shaman to learn more about their ways. This adventure will follow in don Manuel’s footsteps as we will experience an altogether different dialogue with Mountain Spirits (Apus).

This research expedition will also be a unique adventure insofar as the Winged Spirits themselves will dictate where we will travel. There will be high elevation hiking and trekking, and physical fitness is one of the prerequisites — therefore, it is time to start training by hiking up and down the hillsides near my home, as well as some backpacking to build stamina.

​
I am SO excited!
