13-Day Pilgrimage and Initiation in the Major Andean Altars
with Rufino Turpo and Family, Ximena Morales and Santiago Ayala
August 8 - 20, 2024
It is above all a great honor and the manifestation of a very special dream for the Casa Del Sol family to offer the opportunity to present to you the possibility of connecting with the finest and most special that we have found in our long journey.
From the beginning of our initiatory path through the Sacred Temples and power centers of the Andean
world of Elder Peru, we dream of one day sharing that magical knowledge and ancestral wisdom with
our Casa del Sol family.
In the oral transmission of all the peoples and ancestral traditions of the world, there is talk of a mythical
prophecy, which tells that the time of the Great Transition has arrived, symbolized by the meeting of the
flight of the condor and the eagle, called in the Andean world the Pachacutik era, in which the human
being returns to the great awakening of consciousness in times of profound confusion and picks up the
threads of the great fabric of memory that are the legacy that our grandfathers and grandmothers left in
good custody to be revealed in the future. times of need they knew were to come.
Thus, the solar tradition of the so-called “Children of the Sun” chose guardians of this sacred knowledge
to go into the highest of the Andean mountains and protect their practices, rituals and understandings
there for several hundred years without being distorted by the imposition of the Catholic religion of the
Spanish conquerors. These guardians of the Children of the Sun are known as the Q’ero nation.
Approximately 60 years ago they began to come down from their home in the mountains and share
their knowledge and ritual practices from the understanding that the time has come for human beings to
turn their gaze and efforts to reconnect with the primordial forces that they make life possible for us and
the need to reintegrate into the harmonious flow of nature from which modern life is deeply uprooted.
Pachamama is a high living consciousness conceived as the Great Nurturing Mother, her body
encompasses the entire planet and her backbone is the Andes Mountains. It is here where various
centers of powerful energy come together and are concentrated, identified by our grandfathers and
grandmothers as Sacred Sanctuaries where they erected their Temples to honor and connect with the
particular energies that manifest in each energy channel. It is a very broad and deep knowledge, since
by analogy our own bodies replicate this cosmic design and by connecting and activating these energy
centers we are aligning ourselves with our own transcendental cosmic nature.
We consider it important to emphasize the immense privilege of being able to access a form of spiritual
relationship that has remained intact through numerous generations. In these times of miscegenation
and openness of so much ancient knowledge that has been revealed and that unfortunately is
interpreted informally, creating a lot of confusion and in most cases being manipulated and marketed
without any respect. The possibility of accessing something so pure means an honor and at the same
time a great responsibility. For this experience, we require you to present yourself in the best possible
version of your being, in all aspects. With a noble purpose and the most humble, lucid and respectful
attitude to connect with the illuminated legacy of the Inca solar tradition.
