Online Introduction to Andean Mysticism

This is an introductory online class for those interested in learning about the path and energy medicine of the Andean Mystical paqo  as taught at ASC.

The Full training, Andean Mysticism: Awakening The Seed of Self Training (ATS) starts shortly after this introductory course, within a week or two. This Introductory class is not a prerequisite for the full training, but you may want to clear your calendar for the full training, in advance, if you are considering taking it.

The Intro class:

The traditional Andean paq’os, or “shamans” live high in the mountains of Peru.They have a set of teachings, practices, and initiations unique to their environment, and an exemplary level of love and respect for one another that has served as a means of survival in these harsh conditions. Their whole world view or "Cosmovision" is based upon them. Often described as mystical in nature because they interact with the energetics of Creation directly, they focus on honing our everyday consciousness and refining our personal power to interact with these energies with the highest level of efficacy. They are truly Masters of the energetic realm.

The path of the Andean paq’o is a distinct form of “shamanism” that asks us to stay grounded and embrace our humanity, to see it as an instrument, not something to escape from or endure. Our job is to refine and hone these gifts, and to work with the personal limitations we put on ourselves, keeping us from that. We come equipped with everything we need to engage with the creative force effectively. The more aware we are of how we limit this and give out power away, the more effortless and more dynamic our exchanges become. Again, this class is an  introductory exploration of these traditional teachings. It stands on its own as a sampler, or you can use it as a leaping point into the deeper teachings of the full Andean Mysticism Training, and all subsequent classes based on it, at ASC.

Content includes:

• Learn the basic energy medicine principles of the Andean paq'o (the Quechua word for shaman or priest). 

• Learn about your energetic anatomy, as taught in this tradition.

• Learn how to engage the energetic world around you.

• Learn about how to refine your 3 human powers and your paq'o capacities

• Learn about the misha (or mesa) 

• Step onto the path of honing your personal integrity, a profound journey to self mastery.

This sampler class is a basic introduction into the complex world and teachings of the Andean Cosmovision, as they have been passed down through oral tradition since before the Inka Empire. 

• You can use these tools and this perspective to enhance your every day life.

• It is a good basic introduction to the basics of the energetic Mystical Shamanism as taught at ASC. Get to know us!

• This is also a good primer for the more advanced Andean Mystical Paqo Path training series, if you have no experience with the tradition.

Spend a day dipping your feet in the water and familiarizing yourself with the basics. See if this is a path for you!

This is a single day, three and a half hour zoom class with a small break in the middle. Please clear your schedule so you can be completely present the entire time. These are sacred teachings. Please sign up when you can devote your entire time and attention to being in the class.
