I’ve been on a grand adventure in Peru. I’m still processing so much of what I experienced here. This blog allows me to share what I’ve made sense of so far… things that might be helpful to “normal people” like you. hehe. Although I know many of you are the “not normal” flavor and would have loved to have been trekking thru the Sacred Valley with me, my friends and the Q’ero teachers communing with nature beings and learning about Andean spiritual traditions and Incan archeology. Wow… that’s a mouthful. I’ll try to work on those run on sentences. Continue reading “Leveling up as a human”
Basic skills to build a new world
I get it that my chosen title is a bit grandiose. But we are building a new world and I’ve been reminded while here in Peru that there are some basic building blocks that not everyone was taught in elementary school that might help. So before wandering on thru more of what I’ve learned here, I figure it makes sense to begin at the beginning.

I haven’t blogged for awhile as I was traveling with a group. There were 12 of us who had been invited to share a really unique experience with the Q’ero tribe here in Peru.
The event is Hatun Karpay- the Great Initiation of the Inka to make the step to the 4th level of spiritual development. We visited many Inkan sacred sites, sometimes accompanying members of the Q’ero tribe and participated in their traditional ceremonies. Continue reading “Being invited in”
Many ways to see our world
This first stop on my journey, Wolf Totem Guesthouse, has been so interesting. This lovely hostel/hotel combination offers shared kitchen and community space to spend time with other travelers.
Look up
Perhaps it’s that my current home is high on the side of a hill in the Andes… but I’m struck with the idea that it’s important to look up. Continue reading “Look up”
Stairway to heaven
Greetings from Pisac, Peru, population 11,607 at last count. I find myself here because I was trying to decide where to hang out before the group part of my trip began and a friend who will be on the trip recommended Pisac.
Notes on travel anxiety and how to wish someone well as they travel
Okay, fair warning. This post is not about Peru… but more travel in general. Consider that since I’m a solo-female traveler, maybe my perspective is different than some. Having folks think that my perspective is unusual is nothing new to me. LOL

Air travel in 2022
Hey, don’t expect whining here. I have only praise.
Sure, my return ticket got canceled once a week or two before I left but it was easily remedied and actually the new ticket was better than the first. Thank you, Universe. Continue reading “Air travel in 2022”

In my studies over the years, I’ve been so lucky to work with different people, different traditions, indigenous histories and spiritual points of view. I’m preparing now fo a trip to Peru to study with the Q’ero people. I’ve been reading about them, their history and ritual ceremonies.
