Join Deva Premal, Miten, Marcela Lobos and Dr. Alberto Villoldo for a feast of music and shamanic wisdom in the magical Sacred Valley in Peru.
We begin each day with morning yoga and an expedition to ancient temples, where we take part in ceremonies with the Andean shamans. In the early evening we immerse ourselves in the healing world of mantras and sacred songs, exploring sound, silence and meditation.

ABOUT DEVA AND Miten
“The music we make is born out of a committed spiritual practice. We meditate – we investigate – and our music is a result of that experience. It’s more a case of life and death than entertainment….”
Flame carriers of a 5,000-year-old tradition, Deva Premal and Miten are at the forefront of the burgeoning world-wide chant phenomenon. They are one of the major contributors to the soundtrack of just about every 21st century alternative healing modality, from rehab/detox/stress management clinics to yoga studios, spas and meditation centres, shamanic gatherings and ceremonies in the depths of the Amazon, and throughout the world. Merging ancient mantras of India and Tibet with contemporary musical settings, their debut album The Essence introduced a unique musical genre.
