Shamanism is humanity’s most ancient wisdom tradition. Although there are several different shamanic practices, they all share a common knowledge about the workings of heaven and earth.

This body of wisdom emerged over 50,000 years ago, when humanity took a great leap forward in knowledge.

The fundamental principles of shamanism are that everything is made of light and all healing is done by spirit. Shamans heal by creating the conditions for health so the disease simply goes away.

You’ll discover how shamanism is a feminine tradition, unlike Western traditions which are deeply masculine…

… and how shamanism can empower your health span to become equal to your lifespan by combining timeless teachings with modern science.

Today, shamans are able to integrate ancient wisdom with leading-edge neuroscience to provide a better description of how the Universe works.

This week, you’ll explore:

• Fundamental wisdom, principles, and traditions of Andean shamanism
• Differences in how conventional physicians and shamans perceive and treat disease
• How the Medicine Wheel creates a map for healing, and the power animals that relate to each direction
• How disease manifests when we are in disharmony with nature
• The Four Directions and summon the powers of nature to clear your energy field during a guided experience using flower essence, spirit water, and a rattle

The Luminous Energy Field organizes your body’s health. Andean shamans place the eighth chakra, the wiracocha, above your head and outside your physical body in the Luminous Energy Field as a direct link to Source.

This week, you’ll discover how your wiracocha — wira meaning sacred and cocha meaning source — signifies the part of you where you and Spirit are one.

You’ll also learn about the energy systems in the physical body that run on fuels like food and oxygen and on a reservoir of living energy — chakra energy — that is in constant flux and motion.

Alberto will share how the seven chakras in the body are created by the intersections of endocrine glands and nerve plexuses. The chakras work with your physical and psychological systems.

You’ll also be guided through an experience to open your wiracocha to step outside of ordinary time and expand your Luminous Energy Field.

This week, you’ll:

• Be introduced to the Luminous Energy Field, an information field that informs the physical, mental, emotional body and organizes health, love, money, and more
• Learn how your endocrine glands and nerve plexuses create chakras
• Explore the nature of your wiracocha (your eighth chakra), where spiritual energy comes into your system, and how to expand it to step outside of ordinary time and connect more deeply to Source
• Realize how your life history is stored in a chakra, and how to balance your chakras to come into a harmonious luminous energy field
• A guided experience to open your wiracocha and balance the energy of your chakras

It has long been known that the electron has two states: a particle state and a wave or field state, depending on where the observer looks for it.

The ancient shamans recognized this. They understood that although we are in a particle state, we also have a Luminous Energy Field. The physical body represents our particle state, while the field state transcends death to experience the oneness of everything.

The quest of the shamans was to unshackle their consciousness out of the particle state to understand the workings of the field state.

This week, you’ll be introduced to the core healing process of shamanic energy medicine, the Illumination Process. This process transforms toxic energies out of the field as shamans use their hands, rattles, and stones to create health.

You’ll also learn how the shamans of old discovered how to expand the wiracocha around them and help their clients go into a deep state of consciousness and relaxation.

This week, you’ll explore:

• How shamans shift their consciousness between field and particle states to heal others, moving out of a physical state and into an infinite, transcendent state of oneness
• How the shaman notion of non-linear time is supported by quantum physics, the science that reveals how everything is connected to everything else
• The Illumination Process, the core healing practice of shamanic energy medicine
• The difference between healing and curing
• The importance of ethics and integrity in shamanic energy medicine and why it’s important to live from the virtues of the healer 
• A guided experience of the Illumination Process to bring the chakras back into balance and brighten them again

Today we have the opportunity of combining the ancient wisdom of Indigenous peoples with Western medical science and leading-edge brain research.

Science shows us we cannot change our genes, but we can change the expression of our genes. This is called epigenetics.

This week, you’ll learn how your genes are not the determinants of your destiny — they are only 10% of your health destiny.

The other 90% is what you eat, how you eat, when you eat, how you forgive, how you love, how you laugh, and how you dream your world into being.

Alberto will also share the prophecies of Homo Luminous, the radiant beings humans are evolving into, and how a new kind of shaman — the neuro-shaman — can help us get there.

And you’ll be guided through an exercise to consciously direct your breath, calm your nervous system, and enter a healing state.

This week, you’ll explore:

• The body’s 4 brains and how each perceives the world
• How your thoughts, beliefs, and diet affect your brain — and what to eat, how to eat, and how to keep your brain healthy
• How to reselect your genetic destiny (epigenetics) and why you are not only the product of your genes, but can control their expression
• The neuro-shaman, the new shaman for modern times 
• How to grow a new body that ages and dies differently
• The 4/4/4 breathing exercise to consciously direct your breath and bridge consciousness and the unconscious to calm your nervous system and enter a healing state

Not all the energies we experience within us belong to us. Shamans understand that there are intrusive energies that come from other people, both in the present and past.

This week, you’ll learn how intrusive energies primarily come from those we are close to in the form of anger, jealousy, or resentment — and techniques for removing these toxic energies from the Luminous Energy Field.

Alberto will share why the Luminous Energy Field doesn’t recognize these harmful energies as foreign and thus allows them to penetrate your field and embed themselves in your body…

… and how shamanic healers go into the field like psychic surgeons to find these negative energies, pull them out, and fill the areas with light.

This week, you’ll discover:

• What intrusive entities are and why they become attached to you
• How shamans extract intrusive energies by finding and cutting energetic cords, intentional harmful energies, and negative past life energies in the energetic body and in spaces
• How intrusive energies become embedded in your body, how they can manifest in physical disease, and which tools shamans use to extract them
• How rattles, swords, and crystals are used in extractions
• A fire ceremony to release negative energies (for this, please bring a candle and a small wooden stick)

Shamanic traditions are lineage-based, connecting to a line of medicine men and women that go back to the very beginning of time.

This week, you’ll explore how you can connect to shamans in the past and also connect to and receive the initiations of shamans to come.

The first level of shamanic initiation you’ll receive from Alberto awakens your own healing power and abilities, launching you on a journey of healing yourself and then the world around you.

The second initiation connects you to a lineage of men and women dedicated to the stewardship of the earth, the Earthkeepers.

This week, you’ll:

• Receive the Rite of the Pampamesayok, connecting you to a lineage of healers
• Learn the Shaman’s Agreement
• Receive the Earthkeepers Rite and accept stewardship for all life on Earth
• Recognize what it means to live in a state of ayni, or right relationship

The shamans discovered that life does not end when we die, but that death is simply a doorway beyond our physical existence.

The great initiations of the shamanic tradition are a symbolic encounter with death and a journey to the beyond to learn the way ourselves.

This week, you’ll hear about the five realms of the Upper World that mirror our physical world, and visit them during a guided shamanic journey.

The first world is that of the stone people, a mineral kingdom that is not a very desirable place for humans.

The second is the world of the plant people, full of color and light. This is a perfectly pleasant place for a plant, but not for a human.

Alberto will also share the different stages we go through after the physical body dies.

During this final class, you’ll:

• Learn how and why the shamans mapped the territories beyond death
• Discover the different stages we go through after the physical body dies — the territories of the stone/mineral people, plant people, animal kingdom, ancestral kingdom, and the realm of our becoming
• Recognize what you can do now to support this transition of yourself and others
• Discern why selfless service is an important part of your evolution
• Experience a guided shamanic journey into the 5 realms of the Upper World
