Aware that Earth’s landscape is a sacred geography, traditional Andean peoples see life as an act of loving presence and reverence in partnership with all beings.
don Oscar Miro-Quesada – Reverence – Ritual and Renewal
Nourish your heart and soul with ancient Inka wisdom teachings and shamanic rituals — to bring healing and balance to your life and our world.
Discover practical insights for your daily life from these ancient shamanic pathways and cultivate powerful global medicine through sacred reciprocity, reverence, service, and communion.
Does your heart break for Pachamama, our belovedmother Earth, and all her inhabitants?
Her people, her animals, all of life… are all sending out signals of great distress — from climate change to species extinction to deep social and political unrest…
Do you wonder how you can help shift the trajectory of humanity towards a new, loving, aligned, Earth-honoring future?
You don’t have to wait and wonder. You already have access to profound healing, change-making capabilities that can truly impact your community and the planet…
The journey begins with discovering how to work with the energies, intentions, and spirits of nature — realizing your gifts as a shamanic practitioner.
Be the Medicine the World Needs — Through Deep Reverence, Mutuality, and Earth-Alignment
The sacred medicine our world desperately needs can start with your heartfelt dedication…
Through simple acts of wisdom, kindness, and ritual mastery of shamanic forces and powers, you can become a member of a global community committed to a more beautiful and sustainable way of being — fueled by the natural energies of Pachamama and empowered to humble acts of service for the greater good.
And when you discover and practice Ancient Andean ritual, service, and reciprocity, you not only become one of the courageous few heeding the call to a life of reverence for all beings…
… You also embark on a path of profound beauty, imagination, and myth — one in which you fall deeply in love with “the winged ones, swimmers, crawlers, and the 4-leggeds,” listen as much as you speak, and heal with your presence as much as with your words.
Aware that Earth’s landscape is a sacred geography, traditional Andean peoples see life as an act of loving presence and reverence in partnership with all beings.
They understand we live on a planet where gods, goddesses, and myths are alive in the landscape. It’s all part of Mother Earth’s multilayered divinity revealed through the beauty and magnificence of her physical body…
And as humans, we must honor and respect the wisdom of Mother Nature and seek to beautify our world for future generations.
This ecological path of shamanic wisdom is governed by a universal law known as Santu Kamachi Qelqa — our Dharma, our life’s purposeful mission as children born from the generosity of Pachamama’s dreaming womb.
To gracefully embody the spirit of this living wisdom, we must first learn to heal our human estrangement from the sacred dimensions of life, restore our essential wholeness, and reclaim our Truth — the one that aligns our lives with Love.
In this way, we prepare ourselves as evolutionary catalysts in service to healing the heart of Gaia-Pachamama.
Align With the Potent Subtle Body Energies of Earth’s Sacred Sites
The Reverence, Ritual & Renewal Program will apprentice participants in long-forgotten shamanic rituals and the ceremonial activation of sacred powers and spirit bridges into Pachamama’s subtle energy body.
Called Seq’e Ñan, “spirit pathways,” by Peru’s ancestral wisdom keepers, the ritual sustenance of their luminous energetic matrix is considered vital for maintaining Mother Earth’s health — as well as a means of informing the evolution of all life on Earth.
Ancient temples and sacred ceremonial sites represent outward portals, visible signs of this invisible planetary spirit force…
Called wakas (“earthen sanctuaries”), these repositories of sacred power play a part in the human effort to understand and connect with the divine cosmos and experience the interdependence of self, culture, and nature.
As ancestrally sanctioned places of veneration, every natural landscape shrine, revered pilgrimage destination, stone cairn, and artful ceremonial offering sustains the complex web of our collective spiritual heritage.
By performing the Earth-honoring rituals you will learn in this immersive 13-session intensive from don Oscar’s Universal Shamanism course series, you gain access to multiple dimensions of Being, helping you understand your essential Self through a direct experience of the sacred in life.
You will dramatically empower yourself as a member of a united planetary family with a common origin in the starlight of the cosmos and a common mission for planetary change.
In this online course, don Oscar has distilled the cosmology of his kamasqa and Paqokuna ancestors into ritual practices that enhance your path of healing service to Pachamama’ s sacred web of life.
Adhere to the Calling to Be of Shamanic Service — and Join a Global Community of Shining Ones
If you recognize the truth in the above description and the calling in your bones to be of shamanic service, we invite you to join our global community of what don Oscar calls the Shining Ones — to engage more deeply in Earth-regenerative and soul-restorative practices passed down by our Andean ancestors.
Reverence, Ritual & Renewal offers an unparalleled opportunity to further your journey on your shamanic path and receive teachings never before shared in a virtual setting, from Peruvian shamanic practitioner, teacher, and great lover of life, don Oscar Miro-Quesada.
don Oscar is one of the leading lights in 21st century shamanism, pioneering this modern, yet ancient path. He speaks humbly from his heart in a way that anyone can recognize as the “voice of the soul.” He creates rituals that draw from his Peruvian Pachakuti tradition that also weave in the wisdom of other peoples.
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 precise shamanic service.
don Oscar’s advanced studies in modern psychology have given him the tools to understand the common threads of shamanic teachings and weave them together into a more integrated framework. He blends ancient traditions with modern evolutionary understandings — to create a holistic, integral synthesis.
This results in 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 living your highest potential.
If you want to go deep into the wisdom held within indigenous shamanic traditions, but are unable to spend months in remote rain forests or mountaintops, this 13-session online course is your best opportunity to access the expert guidance of a powerful spiritual teacher who is bringing together relevant and essential wisdom for our modern lives.
You’ll gain a unique exposure to Peruvian Pachakuti practices that are designed for healing yourself and the larger world.
Healing Energies for Yourself and Our World
Over the 13 sessions of this in-depth program, you’ll receive teachings and transmissions and learn ritual-making practices including:
- The central concept and practice of Ayni or sacred reciprocity
- The creation of apachetas, akin to inserting acupressure “needles” in the earth to address environmentally damaged/toxic areas
- Traditional practices for gathering and activating stones for healing
- Deeper work with the mesa (ceremonial altar) to align your intentions with the higher will of Spirit
- Wisdom transmissions and practices for making 5 different types of offerings, or despachos
- Alignment of ritual and ceremony with seasons and times of the year
- Participate in distance-healings to help detoxify and purify lands and communities in distress
- And so much more…
You’ll participate in distance-healings to help detoxify and purify lands and communities in distress as well. Plus don Oscar will guide you in the fascinating work of accessing the healing energy of sacred sites throughout the world — ancient temples and sacred ceremonial sites that don Oscar describes as “outward and visible signs of an invisible, numinous order.”
What You’ll Discover in These 13 Sessions
Each session will build harmoniously upon the next — to give you a complete, holistic understanding of the shamanic tools, practices, and principles you need to bring healing and balance to your life and our world.
This intensive online course is specifically designed to apprentice you in long-forgotten rituals related to the proper ceremonial activation. Through wisdom transmissions, imaginal journeys, ritual demonstrations, and practical applications, you’ll harness and bring forth a host of sacred healing powers and spirit bridges — into Pachamama’s subtle energy body.
Note: To start this course, you’ll need to build a basic mesa — a portable shamanic altar. An instructional video and written guide, included with your registration, will walk you through the steps of building your mesa. If you have been a student of don Oscar’s Universal Shamanism series and have already built a mesa, you may skip this step.

Trickster & Peruvian Healer in DialogueVideo Dialogue With Caroline Casey and don Oscar Miro-Quesada
Take a courageously comedic plunge through the Rabbit Hole and receive a beneficently humbling shamanic dose of oxymoronic ontology, perspicacious paradox, and anomalous affirmation guaranteed to reverse your unreality. Journey with Caroline W. Casey and don Oscar Miro-Quesada as they track the magic of language back to its primordial liberating spark, before we were snookered, bamboozled, hoodwinked, conditioned, and colonized, to offer ourselves as agents of Nature’s eloquence.
We live in a conversational world. (“Con” means “with”, and “verse” means “turn.”) We are all in one giant spiraling conversation. Everything is speaking to us, by its shape, color, song, rhythm. May our rogue species cultivate reverent curiosity, whereby to rejoin the conversing, which is already underway. We trust that the provocatively polyamorous shapeshifting semiotic bliss emergent from this metalinguistic skull session with Caroline and don Oscar will serve to avert (further) “dis-aster” (“against the stars”) — so let’s gather to “con-sider” (“with the stars”).
Caroline Casey is known for her unique art of astro* mythological* political* guiding* meta-storytelling — which is presented in myriad multimedia venues. For more than 22 years, she has been the weaver of context for The Visionary Activist Show (on KPFA and KPFK, Pacifica Network).
Caroline is dedicated to astrology as one of the great meta-languages of antiquity, uniting everything of consequence: personal and collective change, ritual magic, and esoteric philosophy. She’s also a rousing and frequent keynote speaker at political, environmental, spiritual, psychological, and astrological conferences, as well as an MC at global music and activism festivals — including emceeing the spoken-word stage at the Symbiosis Eclipse Festival in Oregon.
