With Don Juan Nunez del Prado and Peru’s senior p’aqos

The greatest collection of spiritual teachers of the Q’ero tradition today from around the world are gathering for this one-time ceremony.

The journey of the enlightened

International P’aqo Ceremonial, Peru, September 2020.

This event is strictly limited to 144 people and filling up fast.

The Taripay Pacha gathering consists of 12 days of ceremonies at sacred sites in Peru.  This was the ceremony used to select and crown the Inca Emperor and Empress.  The ceremony was designed to raise their level of consciousness to a higher spiritual dimension.  This ceremony has not been performed since the days of the Inca Empire and may never be performed again.

144 people, working in 12 groups of 12, led by Peru’s most powerful paqos, will enact this ancient and powerful ceremony.   This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Background on this special ceremony

One of the aims of a P’aqo (shaman) of the Inca tradition is to bring about “the return of the Inca,” or a higher level of spiritual awareness, known to us as enlightenment.  The P’aqos of the Peruvian Andes believe the founder of the Inca Empire, Pachakuti Inca, did this in 1438 at the Lake of Qori Qocha.  This ceremony is designed to bring this higher level of consciousness into the world.  It requires 12 groups of 12 people to conduct special ceremonies at sacred sites across the Sacred Valley of Cuszco.

What will happen?  We’re not sure.  Some believe the energies created will produce enlightenment in the people at the ceremony.  Others believe that the ceremony is designed to bring a higher level of consciousness to the human race in general.  Everyone is agreed it will be a powerful consciousness-raising event for all participants.

According to the tradition, now is the time of the Taripay Pacha, or “Golden Age of Human Reunion.”  Its distinguishing feature is the simultaneous enlightenment of both men and  women, expressed in the vision of the return of the Incan Royal Couple, the Inca (emperor) and the Qoya (empress).  As far as we know, the spiritual tradition of the Andes is the only wisdom teaching that explicitly calls for female enlightenment and puts a couple, not an individual, at the highest level of consciousness.

In order to bring in the energies of the Golden Age of Human Reunion and open the way for the Enlightened Couple, Juan Nuñez del Prado and his son, Ivan, have re-created this one-time event.  It involves performing the correct ritual at each of a sequence of sacred sites.  Each site has an appropriate ritual and is linked to one of the six ruling couples of the ancient Inca Empire.  Each of the traditional 12 individuals from these six couples will be represented by a group of 12 participants in the 2020 ceremony.

Over 12 days we will perform the rituals of the Taripay Pacha across Peru, commencing at Machu Pichu and ending with the Qoyllurit’i  festival in the High Andes.

The aim is to carry out this spiritual work with a total of 12 groups (ayllus) of 12 P’aqos, each group representing one of the royal families (panakas).

Would you like to be one of those 144 people who will prepare for the Golden Age and join in this special event?

The Hatun Karpay Initiation

This 12-day ceremony is an initiation.  It will awaken new growth, new power and new energies in your life.

In the Andes it is believed that you are born with an Inka Seed, a seed of personal potential that is waiting to be awakened, fed and nurtured. An initiatory experience provides the tools for the birthing and sprouting of this seed, an opportunity to move your spirituality from something abstract to something that is ‘real’ as you learn the energetic practices and apply them to your life.

Through involvement in these Andean practices you are changed – from being someone who has ‘forgotten’ yourself to someone who remembers.  This event if for those who feel called to participate in a “Great Initiation” (or Hatun Karpay) as they say in the Andes.

Indigenous peoples have a wisdom for which Westerners are longing. The Hartun Karpay process makes this wisdom accessible by waking up your personal potential, leading you into a richer, deeper experience of your life. As transitions and challenges present themselves, you move more gracefully toward your authentic self, setting a trajectory aligned with your values through a clarity and appreciation for your own personal power and the life that is in front of you.

Participating in a Hatun Karpay  offers practical tools for interacting with nature, understanding its relevance in your life and experiencing your place in the world. The Hatun Karpay  initiatory experience has been practiced for hundreds of years in the Andes by the Q’ero Indians, the direct descendants of the Inka and the prophets and visionaries of the Andes. They are considered to be the Keepers of Ancient Wisdom of the Inka and of the Inka Prophecies.

This experience will assist you to:

• Connect with living energy to enrich and nurture your being
• Access clarity and strength to live the life you were destined to live
• Resolve conflict and disperse heavy energy
• Meet and overcome fears with courage and compassion
• Develop personal power and spiritual authority from within
• Integrate and harmonise your inner masculine and feminine
• Develop and access inner resources not experienced before
• Feel healthy, vital, happy and balanced
• Experience peace, harmony and belonging in everyday life
• Introduce you to the deep spiritual landscape of sacred Peru.

We hope to meet up with our group and explore and eat together for anybody that would like too etc. as you arrive.  The taxi from airport to Cusco is very cheap and the Airport is near the City.  The Hotel also can pick you up from the Airport.

We may be organising some trips before the event ourselves and people are welcome to join and share taxi cost etc.

As much as possible, we hope to spend extra time on some of the sacred sites once the ceremonies are complete as much as possible, so we would bring a packed lunch. When we have the opportunity we will spend time with our own group doing extra ceremony and connecting to the sites.  This is optional, we would just share travel costs back to the Hotel etc.

• We hope to plan preparation ceremony before the trip also.  More details will be coming soon.

Qoyllurriti Festival – an important note

Please note you have a choice here.  The Qoyllurriti Festival is physically tough.

The altitude is very, very high and you will be climbing up a sacred mountain in high altitude for hours to get there.  A horse will be provided, but there will still be times when walking is necessary.   It will be very, very cold (-20C, -4F). Tents are provided but it will still be very cold.  If you suffer with health issues it is best to contact us before choosing this option. There is no hospital or emergency care there.

The alternative to this trip is to accompany Don Juan Nunez Del Prado to another sacred town & site which has a festival of healing at the same time.  It is a big festival.  We will have some time for shopping also and the next morning will be free also so we will look to organize a trip or Q’ero readings for our own group etc or free time, depending on what everyone wants.

Green Tara College staff will be taking both this options. You must decide when booking which option to take, the Qoyllurriti or healing festival, as we need to know for tents etc.
