"May this journey awaken the ancient memory within you — the one who has walked these mountains before, who has spoken with rivers, and dreamed inside the stars."

An 11-Day Sacred Pilgrimage of Remembering
There comes a time when the one who has carried the world on their shoulders hears the ancient call — not to lead another mission, but to remember who you truly are.
The Journey of the Condor is an 11-day pilgrimage through the high Andes of Peru, guided by our beloved Maestros of Chinchero — keepers of the ancient Andean lineages — and held in ceremony by Jocelyn Boettner.
It is a living transmission of reciprocity, reverence, and remembrance. It is where the Leader becomes the Vessel. The Healer becomes the Healed. It is where the Condor teaches you how to fly again.
"You will walk through ancient stone temples, enter the womb of Mother Earth, stand before the crystal citadel of Machu Picchu — not as a tourist, but as one reborn through the elements."
— Jocelyn Boettner
Not through logic — but through the quiet ache in your bones. The way your heart quickens when you hear the word Peru. The way your dreams have begun to hum with mountains and memory.
You will not come to Peru to escape your life.
You will come to remember your place within it.
This pilgrimage unfolds as a living initiation — a weaving of Earth and Sky, Spirit and Body, Shadow and Light.

Arrive in Cusco and be welcomed by our global family in Chinchero — the gateway to the Sacred Valley. In the evening, we gather in circle for ceremonial cleansing and coca leaf blessing.
We begin in Chinchero, surrounded by our beloved Maestros. Despacho Ceremony with Maestro Jimmy — a living prayer woven from flowers, sugar, and seeds. Later we journey to Moray, the spiral terraces known as the womb of the Earth.
At Machu Picchu, you walk in silence first — letting your body remember what your soul already knows. Trace the ancient terraces, temples, and altars aligned to the stars. Optional hike to the Sun Gate (approximately 3 hours).
We return to Ollantaytambo, the ancient Temple of the Winds. As night falls, you enter the Ayahuasca Ceremony — a sacred conversation between your soul and the infinite.
This day opens the wisdom of Ayni — sacred reciprocity. Through ritual and teaching, you learn to sense the living energy field that connects all beings. A day of reflection and grounding after deep ceremony.
We travel to Vinicunca — Rainbow Mountain — beneath the gaze of Apu Ausangate. As you ascend, each color reveals a frequency — red for life, gold for clarity, turquoise for truth.
We walk ancient paths to the crystalline lagoons of Apu Ausangate. Here we enter the Wachuma (San Pedro) Ceremony — a gentle teacher of the open heart. Afterward, we bathe in the natural hot springs of Pacchanta under the stars.
We travel to Raqchi, the temple of Wiracocha, the Great Creator. Among the colossal ruins, you remember that you are part of the lineage of light.
We journey to Tinajani Canyon — the Valley of the Spirits. Red stone cathedrals rise from the earth. You walk in silence, letting the mountains speak without words.
We sail the waters of Lake Titicaca, the birthplace of the Sun. We visit the floating Uros Islands and the sacred Amantaní Island, where Father Earth and Mother Earth meet.
We journey to Aramu Muru, the Doorway of the Gods. Here you offer final prayers of gratitude and consciously step through a new threshold of being. That evening, we share our Farewell Dinner — a celebration of transformation, friendship, and love.
Spaces are limited. When your heart stirs, trust it.
