We have the good fortune to be able to travel to the sacred mountains and valleys of Peru where, for a few precious weeks each summer, we go indigenous! Spirit calls us to join our Q’ero lineage for profound healing and rejuvenation at these places of pure energy. Anyone who has experienced the Via Illuminata or a mountain or Amazon expedition will tell you that they are forever changed by the experience. Our vision expands and our hearts open in these magnificent places! read more >

When you discover your mission,
you will feel its demand.
It will fill you with enthusiasm
and a burning desire to get to work on it.

Chumpis are potent stones of light used to install Bands of Power in the Luminous Energy Field.
In the Q’echua language, they are called Kuyas, and have been taken on pilgrimage to the sacred mountains adjacent to Cusco. The Chumpi Stones are the only stones in the High Andes spiritual tradition that are hand-carved with specific shapes featuring between one and five points. These stones hold keys to the cosmology of the Inca and have the power to generate a light-filled web of connection with the elements of creation: earth, water, fire,air, and pure Spirit.
Specific, collective work with the Chumpi Stones can be experienced during Mesa and Ceremony in Ireland, July 19th - 24th, and in Utah, July 26th - 31st. The stones of light call to us to use them and integrate them into our work of Spirit.

We are thrilled to introduce Jeanette Mantel, from Stockholm, Sweden! As a senior staff member of the Four Winds, Jeanette assists and leads several of our Healing the Light Body classes in Holland and the United Kingdom as well as in Sweden. She loves meeting people from all over the world and is a passionate ambassador for this work!
Earlier this month, Jeanette assisted Linda Fitch with the well-attended Working with the Sacred class in Sweden. In April, she will lead the upcoming South class there. Jeanette has achieved her heartfelt dream of bringing both of these programs to Sweden.
Jeanette says her ability to dream into being this reality can be attributed to a destiny retrieval she received during the Advanced Soul Retrieval, Destiny Retrieval class. She believes the work aligned her more fully with her true purpose. Subsequently, she found it easier to set her intention, which she supported with her daily prayers and frequent ceremonies. As a result, the logistics became effortless!
Jeanette brings years of corporate leadership experience to her work with Four Winds and to her shamanic healing practice. She believes that the core of her roles have been about forming connections and building relationships. This month, Tara, Sweden’s first lifestyle magazine aimed at women over 40, featured Jeanette’s healing practice and the work of the Four Winds!
Please check out our International News for further details on Jeanette’s upcoming class and workshop schedule. |
We devote this month’s Munay-Ki News to our upcoming Munay-Ki classes with the Q’ero elders in California on February 23 -28 and Colorado on September 5-10. We are absolutely thrilled to welcome our wonderful teachers to the United States for these biannual events!
Receiving the rites directly from the Q’ero is an extraordinarily powerful experience. Because they beautifully embody the medicine of the rites, simply being in their presence can be profoundly healing. Wake Wheeler, one of our most senior Four Winds teachers, and someone who is steeped in the Inka traditions, will lead both programs with the Q’ero.

There are two kinds of people in the world.
There are those who are dreamers
and those who are being dreamed.
- Alberto Villoldo
This month, we focus on the art of dreaming powerfully! It is time to step into action and choose the life of our dreams. This is a call to action!
As 2012 approaches, our solar system is in the process of a great planetary alignment with the Milky Way Galaxy. This cosmological event is accompanied by an extraordinary acceleration of time and concurrent with a period of synchronicities. Our own luminous energy field can make quantum leaps in healing!
During this potent time of manifestation, it’s critical that we dream consciously and with joyful expectation. To a shaman, dreaming is not a passive practice. We begin by setting intention. Then we step into the stream of infinity, into the place of sacred time. We honor and give thanks for “what is” and release our intentions/prayers to Spirit. In this place of pure potentiality, where Spirit dwells, all things are possible!
Please visit the section on Linda’s featured ceremony, where she explains the importance of setting a powerful intention and gives suggestions for stepping into sacred time with that intention. Also, check out our featured class, The Mastery of Time. We’ve received effusive praise for this course from our students who took it last fall, who say they no longer feel ruled by time and are more available for dreaming. We’re experiencing unprecedented demand for this amazing class! Stay tuned in the future as we look for other opportunities to offer it this year in the U.S. and in Europe.
Also, please join us for our free monthly conference call. On Thursday, February 26, we are pleased to welcome Dr. David Perlmutter, a nationally recognized neurologist and author, who will discuss neurology and shamanism with Alberto. They will also discuss nutritional supports that can assist us in making a quantum leap into homo luminous.
May your dreams be potent and sweet!

Last fall, in beautiful Joshua Tree, California, on the eve of the presidential election, we held the first Mastery of Time class. As the class began, our advanced students, most of whom were graduates from our Healing the Light Body program, expressed a desire to have more time for everything they would like to accomplish. They received so much more!
For many ancient cultures, time was the supreme deity. Today, in the West, our language is still embedded with phrases that reinforce the power of this archetypal force. Here, we are ruled by linear time, and perceive that the present is a direct result of what has happened in the past.
In this wonderfully experiential class, students learned how to step into sacred time, where they can dream their destinies freely, without causality. They discovered where time is held in their bodies and in their mesa stones and participated in healing interventions that actually removed time!
They also built an archetypal mesa that is not bound in linear time. Much of the class was spent in ceremony and lucid dreaming. New timelines were created for individuals and for the collective. The last few days, the students devoted their energies to creating the time to come.
Today, given the great transition underway, it’s important to know how to break free of linear time so that we can quantum leap into who we are becoming 10,000 years from now.
This powerful class is not to be missed! To learn more about the Mastery of Time and our other masters classes in our Healing the Light Body Program, visit our website or contact Karen Wilson. |
God came to my house and asked for charity.
And I fell on my knees and cried,
“Beloved, What may I Give?”
“Just love,” He said. “Just love.”

Linda Fitch, Dean of the Light Body School, has developed a wonderful program called Dying Consciously, which was the featured topic of our November Newsletter. We have upcoming 3-day programs in Utah in March and July that are designed for caretakers of people who are transitioning through the dying process. If you or someone you know is caring for someone who is dying or is a professional in hospice care, or a related field, please contact our office to find out more about this training. We are subsidizing the training with donations from students and friends. Please visit the Dying Consciously website to learn more about the project and supporting our work.
We continue to prepare for the relaunch of the Munay-Ki website this spring. The Munay-Ki are the energetic essence of the rites of our tradition that have been shared by the Q’ero elders as a gift for all during these times of great change and opportunity. Please find out more about participating in our Munay-Ki programs with the Q’ero elders in the Munay-Ki section in this newsletter.
The Sanctuary Project will also be supporting the Q’ero children when we visit Peru this summer. Please consider a donation of school supplies as part of your trip planning. See you in Peru! |

Today is the shaman’s time. A time of action, not waiting. A time of setting our intention and working with that intention in ceremony. The urgency of time is reflected in the Mayan prophecies which say that at this point in human history, until November 2009, it will be as if we’re living one full lifetime. This means we cannot put off until later the task of bringing our life into right relationship. This is the later. We must take action toward manifestation now. No more waiting!

We all have a future,
but only men and women of knowledge have the possibility of a destiny.
The shaman assumes full responsibility for who we are becoming and influences destiny by envisioning the possible.

Recipe From:
"The Whole-Food Guide to Strong Bones" By Annemarie Colbin, PhD
Whole Lemon and Coconut Custard
This easy, low-carb dessert is very high in vitamin C and bioflavonoids, and a good source of essential fatty acids. Because it contains lemon zest, it has that delicious taste you get from good marmalade. (And because the peel is eaten, make sure you use an organic lemon.) This also makes a great pie filling. As I made it to my taste, it’s not very sweet; add more maple sugar if you like it sweeter. link to recipe >
