Sept 1 – 10, 2021 – YOGA JOURNEY PERU
Sacred Valley, Peru
RETREAT OVERVIEW
Experience the magic of Peru’s Sacred Valley with a wonderful community of wellness practitioners. Our journey begins in the Andean city of Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire. From Cusco we travel to Willka T’ika Wellness Retreat & Boutique Hotel, in the town of Urubamba, surrounded by the splendor of the Andes. During our stay at Willka T’ika guests will experience outdoor herbal baths; therapeutic massage; regular yoga classes; nutritious farm to table vegetarian meals; and the well known chakra gardens which hold a variety of healing herbs. From our Willka T’ika base camp we will explore the Sacred Valley through daily trips including Machu Picchu; Rainbow Mountain; Pisac; and Moray. Our vision for the retreat is to offer guests a range of cultural experiences, deepening their understanding of Inca culture; create an environment in which guests can decompress and relax from their daily routines; and celebrate life through daily yoga practice while absorbing the high energetic frequencies of the Sacred Valley.

September 10th – 15th I Huachuma and Temezcal Ceremonies
For those interested in participating in Huachuma (plant medicine) and Temescal (sweat lodge) ceremonies, we are curating an additional 5 day add-on to the retreat. For roughly 4,000 years Huachuma (also known as San Pedro) has been used as a gateway to connect with the true self; transcend limiting beliefs; clear past wounds and traumas; and move energy towards one’s higher self. Known as the grandfather medicine, the sacred cactus is indigenous to the Andean mountains of Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. The ceremony will be guided by an indigenous Quechua shaman from the Sacred Valley region who will support the group through the vast inner journey.
A Temezcal or Sweat Lodge is a purification ceremony traditionally practiced by various indigenous peoples throughout the Americas. The temezcal is a small hut structure in which rocks are heated to high temperature after which water is poured on them. The ceremony involves prayer and intention setting as the body and spirit purge impurities that no longer serve us.
