PAKARINA WISDOM

a collaboration for the preservation
of indigenous memory

Pakarina Wisdom was born out of a prayer and a long-held prophecy— one in which the long-held teachings of the high Andes of Peru would make their way into the hearts of westerners longing for Earth’s memory.

In 2020, this dream seed expanded as a way to create, sustain and nurture cross-cultural teachings during the global pandemic, and has blossomed as a fully developed school, with certification, for students committed to apprenticing the Q’ero path.

Our family of wisdom keepers, Q’ero and Westerners alike,
is committed to the health and harmony of all our relations through the preservation and practice of ancestral wisdom and healing modalities from the high mountains of Peru.

this is a space where

WISDOM DAWNS

Pakarina Wisdom springs from a deep wish to make the teachings of Q’eros nation accessible to dedicated students who wish to learn directly from a well-respected family of earth keepers.

Our online and in-person immersions have awakened ancestral memory and inspired students to reclaim their purpose in the web of life since 2019. We hold a yearly online mesa-building course, and twice—yearly retreats with our elders— in the mountains of the United States and Europe, as well as to the ancestral homeland in the high Andes, where we practice these ways, deepen our community, and serve the wild wise forces of the Apus and Nustas.

The Machacca Florez Quispe Family
of Q’eros Nation, Peru

This spring, we will gather again— nourishing the wise, wild, feminine forces of the Earth in Appalachia, and recieving direct transmissions from the Nustas, as we build and deepen our Nusta mishas, listen to the transmissions from Earth + Stars, and weaving the colors of rainbow light into our bodies and the Earth. This five-day immersion will by guided by Luis and his daughter, Karina— a rare chance to learn from an elder and one of the youngest carriers of the Macchacca Florez altars— a woman.

From Our Pilgrims

  • Megan Sprague

    “This journey has been the most gentle and powerful heart opening experience of my life. When Richie called us a “family” in the course, I didn’t fully understand. Now that I have walked this road with the Q’eros, Richy, Laura, Fernando and all my other brothers and sisters, I feel the true meaning of this word. Thank you, Q’eros family, for holding a higher vision for me, welcoming me into your homes and hearts, and facilitating some of the most caring, true healing of my life.”

  • Kate Vredvegood

    “I knew this journey was going to be life changing, but the gifts and blessings I’ve received are more precious and sacred than I have imagined. The purity of the love that I feel from and for every being who has shared their tie and energy and wisdom with me is beyond words. I have learned valuable toools and philosophies that I will carry with me on my journey, but some of the deepest lessons have come to me in spontaneous and organic exchanges wih the facilitators, lineage carriers and other participants. The journey thus far has felt like and exquisite balance between pushing myslelf through discomfort andand savoring the sweetness of rest, beauty and shared hoy. I would join this adventure again in a heartbeat. and in fact. I hope to!”

  • Rob M.

    “A great experience full of depth and rich traditional teachings. Being in the presence of the Q’eros has helped me connect deeper with myself and the power of these sacred mountains all throughout Peru.”

  • Mozelle Spencer

    “The majestic experience with Don Agustín, Santos and Richy was a highlight for me in my life path of healing. We rode on horseback in Ausangate. An eagle soared overhead and I can not find words to desribe the energy and beauty of the land, Simply in awe. Working with this friendly team of souls was and continues to be a benefit to me on this healing path, The gentleness, kindness, and willingess to share knowledge was such a gift. I highly recommend this experience. Don Agustin is gifted with a quiet demeanor and carries powerful connections. I hope to work again with this team soon. I received four karpay from Don Agustin. Each one knocked my socks off. Simply put, epic.”
