Discover Ancient Shamanic Practices to Activate Your Light Body for Healing, Vitality, and Spiritual Awakening
Befriend the Ancestral Mythic Reality of Peruvian Shamanism and Receive Apprenticeship in Life-changing Shamanic Ritual Healing Arts
You’re born from starlight, a divine descendant of the creative impulse behind universal manifestation…
You’re a heavenly being, a cosmic evolutionary (and loving) intelligence in physical form.
What if you could activate this inner light body at will — and become a vessel of sacred “medicine” to heal and transform our world?
The healing wisdom of ancient shamans, trained to activate their luminous bodies, is now available to you…
With the potent practices and ceremonial skills of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, you can awaken your light body for healing and transformation.
Using the gifts of your fully activated subtle energy field, complemented with breathwork, chants, hand positions, and a healing altar, you will “re-Member your Self” as a Shining One, a K’anchaq Huqniyuq, capable of great acts of beauty, love, and healing service.
Your Apprenticeship Within the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition
The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of shamanism provides a comprehensive understanding of the ritual cosmology and healing use of the sacred powers and forces revered by Andean wisdom-keepers since time immemorial.
These practices are relevant for people from all walks of life who are seeking to maximize their presence as sources of healing light in the world. As an apprentice, you’ll become deeply sensitized to the living soul of this ancestral medicine tradition. Entering into sentient communion with the creativity of the Great Originating Mystery can restore balance and harmony to your life and the lives of others.
In Becoming a Shining One, you’ll practice ritual arts of prayerful invocation, evocation, and decree — empowered through shamanic breath, Quechua sacred words, altar configuration, ceremonial gesture, and focused imaginative intention.
You’ll receive hands-on ritual practices and energy healing arts for the healing of self, others, and our planet that are derived from Peru’s northern coastal kamasqa curandersimo and southeastern highland paqokuna shamanic traditions.
This heartfelt experience of shamanic initiation will include the use of specific vibrational frequencies to activate the elements (earth, water, air, fire, and ether) and harmonize your body, mind, emotions, and soul in service to you and others.
Your Experienced Guide Into Universal Shamanism
Your guide on this journey will be Peruvian shaman and world-renowned curandero (healer), teacher, and author don Oscar Miro-Quesada, who has emerged as one of the leading lights in pioneering this modern, yet ancient, path of Universal Shamanism.
He speaks humbly from his heart in a way that is readily recognizable as the “voice of the soul.” He creates rituals that draw from his Peruvian Pachakuti tradition while also honoring and weaving in the wisdom of other traditions.
He teaches us how to live in new-but-ancient ways — connected with the daily blessings of life, filled with love, and committed to acts of service.
The stories from don Oscar’s life are truly miraculous, and yet his demeanor is humble, as evidenced by his kindness and gentle laughter.
He’s a respected kamasqa curandero and altomisayoq adept from Peru, as well as co-author of Lessons in Courage: Peruvian Shamanic Wisdom for Everyday Life. He’s also Fellow in Ethnopsychology with the Organization of American States and a United Nations Invited Observer to the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
don Oscar’s advanced studies in modern psychology have given him the tools to understand the common threads of shamanic teachings and the wisdom to weave them together into a more integrated framework. He has worked with many evolutionary luminaries to blend ancient traditions with modern evolutionary understandings to create a holistic, integral synthesis.
The result is a unique and beautiful gift to you: a chance for you to harvest the most important insights, practices, and perspectives from millennia of shamanism… to integrate them with modern psychological and spiritual teachings… and to apply it all to birthing the deep potentials within you.
If you’re curious about the essential spiritual wisdom held within Indigenous shamanic traditions, but are unable to spend months in remote rainforests or mountaintops, this 12-part shamanic initiation is your best opportunity to be in weekly communion with a powerful spiritual teacher who is bringing together relevant and essential wisdom for our modern lives.
Over 12 classes, don Oscar Miro-Quesada will guide you in:

To provide apprentices with the most genuine experiential encounter with the seen and unseen dimensions of Peruvian shamanic healing traditions, don Oscar Miro-Quesada has consciously chosen to articulate the module descriptions (see below) associated with this course in the form of invocation, prayer, and decree that call upon the magic, medicine, and mystery inherent in being a Shining One.

The Shamanic Transformation of Modern Medicine: Using Indigenous Healing Approaches to Guide Patients & Families in Making Difficult Medical Decisions
Video Dialogue with don Oscar Miro-Quesada, Dr. David Steinhorn, and Jana Din
Join don Oscar Miro-Quesada for this compelling video dialogue with pioneering pediatric critical care physician, David Steinhorn, MD, and respected shamanic healer Jana Din. Dr. Steinhorn and Jana Din are working on a profound new approach to healing — they’re integrating ancient shamanic practices into modern Western medicine and doing it in a part of the hospital where the difference between life and death often hangs on a very slender thread.
Can shamanic healing methods known to invoke a spiritual reality replete with non-physical powers and forces capable of restoring healthful inner peace to those who are suffering not only complement but enhance the practice of modern-day medicine and psychotherapy? Can the traditional use of ancestrally honored plant sacraments help terminally ill patients with depression, existential suffering, anxiety, sometimes unrelieved pain, etc., to heal old wounds, and discover meaning and lessons in preparation for death?
Dr. David Steinhorn is an academic pediatrician who practices intensive care and hospice medicine for children. He’s founded palliative care programs at Children’s Hospital of Buffalo and Northwestern University in Chicago and served as medical director of George Mark Children’s House in California. Dr. Steinhorn has additional training in energy medicine, yoga, meditation, and shamanism, studying with teachers from the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, the Four Winds Society, and Dr. Carl Greer. His passion is to find ways of alleviating suffering wherever it may occur and to help patients, families, and healthcare providers discover meaning in all of life’s experiences.
Jana Din has provided over 100 shamanic healing services for critically ill children, their families, and the medical clinicians that care for them, in a unique collaboration with David Steinhorn, MD, ICU and hospice physician. It’s Jana’s privilege to provide shamanic healing in hospitals, hospices, and around the nation, to help patients, families, and healthcare providers discover the spiritual meaning in the challenges and experiences a person faces when seriously or terminally ill. Jana captivates and inspires audiences nationwide with her poignant, often heartrending stories of healing the human spirit in the midst of working with patients and families who are facing the most agonizing times of their lives.
