Our work with the medicine is heavily influenced by the Tantric traditions.  TAN means to expand, stretch. TRA means to liberate. AYA means the little death.  So we expand and liberate through surrender and recognition, gaining realization in the after-death-like state.   Before each ceremony, we do Tantric Puja, calling on allies, Gods, Goddesses, ancestors, and helpers from the plant and spirit realms to empower, heal, and liberate the spirit.

Our Shaman, Paul Diamond, is initiated into a multitude of lineages, and offers an unprecedented degree of spiritual and energetic protection, based on over 20 years training in the world’s wisdom traditions.  When travelling in the inter-dimensional realms, it is necessary to have an experienced and knowledgeable guide. Safety is paramount when dealing with the unseen. Participants will experience a field of love, and a safe intimate space conducive for Kundalini awakening, deep realizations and liberation.

Throughout the retreat, we will focus on a specific set of practices taken from the Internal Energetic and Alchemical Traditions (Taoism, Tantra, Alchemy, and Shamanism) that are simple to learn yet far-reaching in their capacity to bring us to the highest levels of realization. We will be practicing these meditation exercises on a regular cycle to fully ground, activate, and energize these circuits.

Please join us for this powerful and deeply transformative retreat at the Tantraya Center in the Sacred Valley.

Total cost is $1650 (USD) and includes all activities, lodging, food and transportation to/from Cusco.
