Awakening 2019
In the summer of 2019, I found myself sitting beside the waters at the mouth of the Mississippi in Itasca State Park, Minnesota. There, at the river’s quiet beginning, I sensed a stirring within me—a shift. Just as the Mississippi winds its way southward, flowing into the Gulf and the vastness of open waters, I felt that I, too, was at the threshold of something new. Expansion was calling, though I did not yet know what it would look like or how it would arrive.
The first steps in that unfolding came through my discovery of The Shift Network, where I encountered Christine Stevens and many other teachers who, unknowingly, became companions in my awakening. Drawn by an inner pull, I enrolled in a drumming course, and soon drumming became more than a practice—it became an obsession, a heartbeat that carried me deeper into myself. My path led me further to Sandra Ingerman, whose teachings in shamanic journeying and ceremony resonated with me deeply, and to Renée Baribeau, The Practical Shaman and author of Winds of Spirit. Together, they co-hosted The Shamans Cave, a gathering place of wisdom that illuminated my way forward.
During this time, signs and omens began to appear. I was vacationing and an eagle dramatically swooped in towards the balcony I was sitting at and arrived as a messenger, echoing the ancient prophecy of the Condor and the Eagle, first shared with me by don Oscar Miro-Quesada. One day, while drumming in gratitude for the land, for both the seen and unseen worlds, Spirit placed a polished stone into my garden—a gift, a marker on the path. Looking back, I see that this stone was a precursor, guiding me toward a profound recognition: my calling as an earth-honoring ceremonialist within the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition
Paranormal Activity Starts to Happen
In October 2019, I was drumming and building the Pachakuti Mesa altar, continuing my journey with Sandra Ingerman to discover my "animal spirit guide." At the time, I didn’t think the journeying was going well—progress seemed slow—but it turns out there was much more unfolding than I realized.
One morning, following my usual routine of making a protein shake, I noticed a musty washcloth crumpled on the sink. I scrubbed it and hung it on the dishwasher handle, then returned to my bedroom. When I came back, the cloth was inexplicably on the counter next to the shake I was preparing. Confused, I asked my son, "Did you move this?" He replied, "Why would I do that, Mom?"
My son and I left for work and he was joking with me "if I find my son floating from the ceiling because of your shenanigans, I'm going to blame you." Just after starting the SUV, and before the radio even came on, a loud, creepy roar of laughter erupted from it. My son started telling me "I told you so" and I couldn’t help but laugh hysterically because it was just crazy. I dropped my son off at work and returned home, unsure what to do, but I smudged and cleared the house.
A few weeks later, while at my primary home, I took a photo of my dachshund Tina to post online. The camera clicked repeatedly in a strange, flashing rhythm, and when I went to post the photo, a dozen images appeared. I deleted all but one and sent it to my daughter, only to have my computer start multiplying floating balloons on the screen as if it were about to self-destruct. That was the beginning of a mischievous and mysterious spirit entering my life for the next six months.
The spirit continued to manipulate the photo, adding overlapping images: dogs, a face I believe belonged to an Aboriginal woman, a priestess with a tiara, a monk, even a squirrel clinging to a girl’s arm. The images were magical, paranormal, and undeniably magical. At first, I thought it might be my dad, since one image mirrored a beloved poodle he had lost but it turned out not to be him.
Over time, I realized that perhaps the spirit and I had a kind of contract. He taught me about the paranormal and revealed my own shamanic abilities.
Eventually, I moved the image from my phone to my computer because the intensity of his mischievous behaviors had become too much and I sensed that the phone had been his connection to me and then I had to seek help to understand what was occurring in my life. Most images disappeared after I discovered who he was and that I could cross him over, though a few images remained. One that stayed was a skeletal hand holding a sword handle and a cross, which I intuited was connected to the Knights Templar and the “Sword of Truth, Sword of Light.” I later confirmed this with others I trust to help clarify my experience.
This journey taught me a great deal about how spirits operate in our world—their mischief, their lessons, and their ways of awakening us to hidden truths. A close friend watched this photo transform over the months and was understandably freaked out, as was I, but the experience remains one of the most profound and magical of my life.
Connecting to Spirit
I took a leap of faith and joined the course Become a Wind Alchemist with Renée Baribeau. At the time, I had not yet fully embraced the idea that everything was Spirit, but I resonated with Renée’s teachings and felt called to learn from her. When Renee would blow her Wind Whistle, it resonated deep within my souls calling but I didn't understand why. I ordered her book Winds of Spirit, received a set of Wind Cards, and received my very first Wind Whistle among many others I would later receive. Under her guidance, I was also introduced to the practice of building a Wind Altar—both indoors and out—while continuing to deepen my Pachakuti Mesa altar with the teachings of don Oscar Miro-Quesada, especially through his audiobook Healing Light.
Meanwhile, I began drumming lessons with Marla Leigh Goldstein, weaving toning into the rhythms as I played. At the same time, I continued practicing shamanic journeying under the direction of Sandra Ingerman. My deepest intention during this period was to discover my Power Animal Guide—and perhaps other guides as well. This quest had been seeded years earlier when I first encountered the teachings of Sylvia Browne, who often spoke of power animals and totems, affirming that everyone carried such a companion.
Looking back now, I see that discovering my Power Animal Guide became the key to my awakening—an initiation that opened the door to the truth of who I am and the path I was meant to walk.
Winter Solstice 2019-2020
As I continued my journey through the Wind course, I felt a growing call to engage more fully with the sacred practices and energies unfolding around me. Each day, I added objects to the altars, letting the act itself become a meditation and a prayer.
I cannot fully explain how powerful the transformation was. The course guided us to recognize patterns in our lives—both the light and the shadow—and I found myself facing many of the traumas I had carried. Yet alongside the challenges, I also witnessed the remarkable transitions and growth that had shaped my path. I felt myself slipping into an almost trancelike state, moving deeper and deeper within.
Then, Renée announced that she would be hosting the IAM Symposium for the Winter Solstice. I had never celebrated the Winter Solstice before, and my understanding of moon cycles, Equinoxes, and Solstices was minimal. She mentioned that Fire Tenders were needed to volunteer. Curious, I asked what would be required and learned that I would need to keep a candle burning—and that battery-operated candles were acceptable. I agreed without hesitation. I have always felt called to participate, to show up fully, and this was yet another way to honor that calling.
In that moment, tending the flame became more than a task—it became a symbol of presence, commitment, and the steady illumination of my own inner journey.
Powerful Transformation
A lot unfolded during the Winter Solstice of 2019. The IAM Symposium had begun, and Renee was drawing “Wind Spirit” cards. Many participants were calling in the Winds, and the energy was becoming noticeably “windy.” At the time, I didn’t fully understand these synchronicities and dismissed them as odd coincidences.
I was excited to attend the live opening ceremony with Sandra Ingerman and to hear a few presenters, including Lori Morrison, author of The Shaman’s Guide to Power Animals. She offered the Owl Spirit for the Symposium. Shortly after, I ran out to do errands, and as I turned the corner, I was stunned to see a bird lying in the middle of the road. At first glance, it seemed like it could be an owl. “That can’t be an owl…can it?” Its feathers were vibrant and stunning.
I brought it home and, upon closer inspection, realized it was actually a hawk. I carefully removed its feathers and offered the owl back to the universe in reverence, laying the feathers on my altar.
The energy I felt in that moment was profound. It raised my vibration in a way I had little understanding of at the time, but it marked the beginning of a series of synchronicities and a deepening trancelike state within myself—preparing me for what was about to unfold on my spiritual journey.
Moments of Miracles and Grace
On December 30, 2019, I continued my Fire Tending, keeping candles lit and adding objects to my alters throughout the Winter Solstice. Renee mentioned, “Have you made your Talisman?” I had no idea what that was, so I looked it up and learned it was a process of wrapping collected items with twine—releasing what no longer serves you and inviting in what you wish to bring into your life.
I gathered seeds, dried flowers, and pine branches from around the house, giving gratitude as I worked, and dried them for a few days before the ceremony. That night, I performed the ritual to drumming music, adding a dried rose from each of my parents’ funerals.
It was an emotional ceremony. I meditated on what I wanted to release, feeling the pain of past traumas. I cried, forgave my parents and myself, and acknowledged the lessons we had all played a part in learning. I also remembered the happy times and felt the love of family—allowing myself to move forward.
Next, I focused on what I wanted to invite in for myself and my family. I placed the completed Talisman on my altar and photographed the Angel figurine my mother had collected. In the photo, a brilliant light shone through the Angel, a magical confirmation that my mother’s presence was with me—a beautiful, heart-opening miracle.
Fire Ceremony December 31, 2019
A photo of myself and Brandy who loves doing ceremony with me. I drummed and tossed the Talisman into the fire. As you view these miraculous photos, I point out the highlights but one should gaze into the images and see what is meant to be seen.
In this image one can see the image of a face peaking out of the flames to the left side of the fire and the image of a man wearing a shroud beneath him. I was told by a psychic friend that these are the Fire Spirits.
The Fire is just starting and I took this photo.
The image of what I believe is my mother's face is in the smoke.
As the Talisman burned, I captured an image that felt sacred—an image of Yeshua, guiding the miraculous energy as a heart formed beneath him. I have always felt a profound connection with Yeshua, and in that moment that I viewed this photo, it felt as though his presence was blessing the ceremony and the intentions I had set.
The world we see is only a shadow of what truly is.
All is Spirit, alive and conscious—Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire.
We are never alone; Guides and helping Spirits surround us, unseen yet present.
The possibilities of existence stretch beyond imagination, infinite and eternal.
This is an amazing photographic image of the Fire altered my perception of reality and my entire worldview.
It was a miracle that I know the spirits assisted with creating for those who view it, can look upon it and integrate the remembering that all of God's creation is spirit and includes everything in nature and the cosmos.
The image has the shape of a teepee. In the center there is a Shaman under a tree rattling and in front of the Shaman is a Hawk sitting on a Heart.
To the right running down the teepee is a squirrel and its tail is shaped like a hand reaching up toward the heavens. A sprite, a nature being is just to the right of the squirrel. One can see its image, the head and body and wings.
Below the Squirrel is two birds that represent the "Condor and Eagle".
To the left of the Hawk standing on the Heart is a tall Raven with another bird sitting on top of its head with a creature possibly a bird or dragon with the long tail. Just behind the creature on the
Raven's head is a deer.
There are other images within the layers of this miraculous photo. One only needs to gaze within it to see. These images represent in my interpretation, the answer to the Who Am I as I was experiencing a Shamanic awakening and the Hawk is my Spirit Guide. I have a strong connection to nature and many spirit animal guides, and I am called to be part of the predictions of these times of the Condor and the Eagle.
Miracles and Validations 2020
This "All Seeing Eye" or otherwise called the "Eye of Horus" was an amazing synchronicity and validation of my path and discovery my true self.
I was taking courses with Sandra Ingerman, don Oscar Miro-Quesada, and Hank Wesselman. It was a lot to absorb, but I felt guided by the synchronicity of learning from some of the most revered shamanic teachers—an honor beyond words.
During this time, I was working on connecting with my Spirit Guides. We all have teachers and Guides, and I wanted to understand the specifics of mine. I was blessed to discover that Isis is one of my Spirit Guides. I didn’t share this with anyone at first, even with myself, I felt a mixture of awe and confusion.
Only a week later, while running an errand with my husband, he suddenly said, “Look up, LeeOra.” Above our house, in the clouds, appeared the image of an eye—an unmistakable Egyptian eye.
In that moment, I knew this miraculous vision was a confirmation: it was true. And this was only the beginning of understanding the connections I have to the other Spirits who guide me.
During the summer of 2020, while taking a course with don Oscar Miro-Quesada, I experienced a cascade of synchronicities and miracles. The intensity of it all was overwhelming, and I knew my life had changed forever.
Shortly before the course, I visited my oldest son to share what had been unfolding in my life. Just a few days later, he stepped outside his apartment and saw 20–30 eagles soaring above. He captured a few photos and sent them to me, leaving me in awe.
During the course, I sent prayers to a younger brother. He went fishing along the river that has been a place of family and ancestral significance—and where our parents are buried. There, he captured an image of at least 30 soaring eagles. In the photograph, two light beings appear facing one another, a clear message from the Spirits and a profound affirmation of my path.
My son capturing the Eagles when stepping outside his apartment. There are no lakes or waters in this area. It's within the city. Quite a surprise for him and another validation for me.
Images of the Eagles at the river captured by my brother. One can see the light beings facing one another.
Connecting to the Universe and Nature 2020
One of my favorite stories comes from a time when I was integrating all that was happening in my life—the shifting perceptions of reality and my growing awareness of the world around me. Naturally, I was asking the big questions: Why me? Who am I? What is all of this about? I hadn’t yet fully integrated the answers, and as I’ve learned, they unfold in their own time.
One day, in a moment of defiance, I spoke to the Spirits: “Okay, will I continue to awaken to my true self and the knowing of who I am and what this is all about? If the answer is yes, show me. Bring me a deer, and have it stand between the two trees I’m pointing at.”
About a month later, my son’s girlfriend called me to see a deer outside the living room window. A beautiful fawn appeared, and then, astonishingly, it walked over to the exact two trees I had indicated and defiantly stomped its hoof on the ground. It was a magical, playful, and unforgettable confirmation—a direct message from the Spirits.
Connecting with Kahuna and
Mongoliam Shaminism
2020
During the height of the pandemic, I felt drawn to participate in a ceremony with Mongolian Shamans from around the world to “cut the tail off the Dragon” and was told it was for the betterment of humanity.
I have later learned I have connection to Mongolian Shamanism, another profound discovery of my true self and my Cosmic Name, Ibalehsa—a name I had sought through Rama Mission meditations that I felt called to embrace.
Earlier that day, I had immersed myself in the study of Kahuna Shamanism, reading Bowel of Light by Hank Wesselman. During the ceremony, I offered milk to the four directions, drummed beside the fire, and listened to Krishna Indian music. Then, unexpectedly, the music shifted to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” sung by Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole—a beautiful validation of the studies I had been engulfed in all day.
And then, as if the universe itself was confirming everything, I looked into the sky—and there it was: the dragon.
Kahuna Nui Hale Kealohalani Makua
I felt called to Hawaii, the ancient home of the Lemurians, and manifested a family trip to Maui in the summer of 2024. The island’s energy was magical, connecting me to both ancient wisdom and the beauty of the present moment.
Cloud Magic and Miracles
2020
A weekend of ceremony that I was conducting. I ran out for errands and captured these images near my home.
Turtle Medicine and Angels
Turtle has significant spiritual symbolism in many cultures including the Native Americans.
An example is one that I share below.
Thirteen moons of the Turtles back
https://oneidalanguage.ca/oneida-culture/oneidalanguage-symbols/13-moons-turtle-island/
I have been blessed on occasion to experience synchronicities through the clouds showing me "you are seen and heard" and validating my experiences as I learn to navigate my new reality and journey of discovery.
I had completed the summer course with don Oscar and was at a resort. I went down to the beech to soak in the sun. My vibration was high, and the synchronicities in my life were intensifying
As I looked up at the sky, images began to reveal themselves: I was fortunate to capture two—a whale and a Pterodactyl-like bird. My heart was filled with joy, wonder, and amazement at these miraculous signs from the universe.
A friend journeyed for me and had a vision of 3 Pterodactyls flying towards her "bringing in the light".
Interestingly, the Pterodactyls is a retrieved power animal that has brought e to the remembering that I am an old soul.
I journeyed with my Spirit Guide and connected deeply with the Whale. It was a beautiful and profound experience. I noticed a baby swimming beside her, and I could feel the deep bond between them. I sensed the gracefulness of this massive being moving through the water.
The Whale is a guardian of wisdom and higher consciousness on this planet.
Later, I discovered an even deeper truth: I share a connection with the Whales on a cosmic level. I come from the same place they do—my home planet, four galaxies away.
Journey with the Winds -
Wind Walker Apprenticeship 2021-2022
Creative Expression is done through the Arts and Music and being human. We creatively express ourselves in multifacets of our everyday activities and it is uniquely expressed through our own individuality as a fractal of
God, the creator.
I found myself drumming, creating Wind Flags, making rattles, and painting among other things.
This is the true essence of who we are.
We are Creators.
Blessed to have my granddaughter and her friend connecting to the Winds through making Wind Flags
Wind Whistles
When I awakened on December 31st, 2019, the perception of my reality of the world was changed and my life was forever changed.
There are so many words of knowledge that Renee Baribeau writes in her book "Winds of Spirits" but what I share is quoted here.
"Working with your winds of change will require you to visit your inner cave to develop and strengthen your resolve. During this stage of awakening, you will develop spiritual resilience by learning to cooperate with nature."
The breathe - the first to be taken in upon birth and is
the last to be release upon transitioning.
The breathe is also what connects one to Great Spirit
(God, Source, Creator-Creatrix. Christ-Consciousness)
The wind has existed on this planet and has circled around the earth since the beginning of its existence. The existence of the Wind Spirits has been passed down through storytelling in many of the cultures around the world.
I apprenticed for two years with the Wind Work and observed not only my transformation but others too, including my family members. The Wind Spirits have way of entering your being, your mind, body and soul and deepening the transformation needed to shift into the Higher Version of yourself.
In my experience, I was awakened by Wind and Fire. There is no doubt that the Wind Spirits played a vital role in systematically guiding me through my awakening, assisting to connect me to my Spirit Guides, my Spirit Animals and to release traumas to become hallow bone. I have experiences sorrow and joy working with the winds and most importantly, the expansion of my consciousness that continually teaches and guides me.The Wind Spirits guided me to understanding my ancestry and the true nature of who I am and why I came to this planet at this time, in these times.
When I made my first Wind Flags and hung them, I drummed and offered my gratitude and the wind whipped up and the flags started clapping in unison.
It was amazing and difficult to describe, that feeling, other than a moment of grace.
I have been blessed that my husband and my family members
have all supported me in my transformation.
I have been blessed to enter in community with the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition and the Wind Walker Wisdom tribe and with this, the many blessings of connection with those who I align with that are like me and understand me.
The story isn't finished, it is just beginning.

My 1st Pachakuti Mesa Tradition Retreat Jan 2021
My first retreat with the Pachakuti Mesa tradition with don Oscar Miro-Quasada, January of 2021 at the Sedona Mago Retreat Center.
sedonamagoretreat.org
I had never been to a retreat like this before. I was apprehensive, as it felt so out of character for me—but deep down, I knew it was my calling. And it was truly amazing.
When we step beyond our comfort zones, the potential for expansion of consciousness becomes limitless.
After a morning of ceremony, I captured photos of the sky.
Sedona Arizona has been populated with the ancients going back to 8,000 BC. Navajo people spoke of the "Anasazi" as the "ancient ones" and now are referred to as the “Ancestral Puebloans.”.
The Sinagua, hunter-gatherers, arrived around AD 650.
Numerous other tribes inhabited Sedona and the surrounding region. Many can still be found today, including the Yavapai and the Tonto Apaches, as well as the Hopi and Navajo. Some researchers believe that the Hopi and Yavapai are descendants of the Sinagua.

When I had my Shamanic awakening there was no doubt that I was being called to the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of cross-cultural shamanism to learn how to conduct Earth-honoring spiritual practices and to connect to the higher version of myself.
The foundational apprenticeship provides tools to develop connection to nature, spirit, and heartfelt community, offering a practical, compassionate path for navigating these times.
Each time I flew out to Sedona for the Foundational apprenticeship trainings over the course of 2021-2022, I experienced Magic, Miracles and synchronicities. It was a whirlwind of events for me as I was undergoing great transformation and discovery of my true self.
It is through these practices and my connection to nature, the winds, the earth and all things that I came to know we all have that connection as we
collectively expand our consciousness.

Egypt 2022
A Magical Experience.
This is when I stepped out of the Giza Pyramid. I knew that my energy had been changed forever.
I stayed at the Marriott Mena House the first few days in Egypt and ended the trip with the last few nights at the Radisson Hotel in Cairo. I don't think I have ever stayed at such a luxurious hotels in my lifetime. Looking off in the distance from the Radisson Hotel, there was a full moon I was viewing on the morning that I would visit the Giza Pyramid. I was full of anticipation and excitement as I stood on the 17th floor balcony. I filmed orbs zooming in and out all around me. And then, I heard the lions roar from the zoo just below me. I will never forget the sounds, the smells and the Magic of Egypt.
THEO
The Sphinx - Our first day. I couldn't believe I was here! We were blessed to stand between its paws and receive blessings and annointments .
The Temple of Horus At Edfu
When I arrived near this Temple I immediately knew I was somewhere significant because tp my surprise, my crown Chakra and Third eye opened and expanded.
"Where are we? I may know this place".
As it turns out, The Temple of Horus speak of the
"Shining Ones" - The followers of Horus.
As we traveled about in Egypt, I experienced everything from our tour bus, an internal flight from Luxor to Cairo and back again, boats, a sail boat, and yes, an old carriage pulled by a donkey. It was like riding through the wild west and at the same time with a spin of modern vehicles. Our donkey got two apples that day. Quite a treat for him.
Karnak and Luxor
I also was blessed to visit a Temple of Ptah and experienced a visitation with Sekhmet, the lioness goddess. What followed became a blessing of healing that continued long after I left the temple—and even after I returned home.
Temple of Philae
The Temple of Isis
280 BCE
This temple is located on an island on Lake Nasser in Asway. We arrived in the dark by boat to watch the sunrise.
The Temple is dedicated to Isis, goddess of motherhood, magic and fertility, her husband Osiris and son, Horus. The walls depict the story of Isis bringing Osiris back to life and the birth of Horus.
This Temple also tells the story of the "Shining Ones" who were the followers of Horus and was a home base for the Knights Templars in ancient times.
For me, this Temple was significant because of my connection with the Knights Templar and as a Shining One.
Temple of Kom Ombo
Aswan
The southern half of the temple is dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world with Hathor and Khonsu. The northern half of the Temple is dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris , Horus the Elder
I always looked forward to what creation would sit on my bed each morning too!
Ten days on the Nile is indescribable. I felt at home and I pondered everyday about ancient times on these waters. The sunrises and the sunsets - So Beautiful.
A Miracle and Magic With Returning From Egypt on 10-22-2022 at 3:33 PM
I returned from Egypt and I performed a Despacho Ceremony in gratitude for the trip and the abundance. Having been able to recognize the calling and strike out on my own across the world is something I never thought I would do and I did it.
I gave gratitude for each temple we visited, gratitude to many of the dieties of Egypt. I offered spices, mint and Hibiscus flower that I brought back from Egypt. The spices were purchased from the Temple of Phelae.
I like to use Roses, the highest vibrational flower for some Despachos. The white roses represent the Angelic Realms, the Red representing the blood of Isis and the Yellow represented Ra.
I completed the ceremony, and I picked up the Rose stems to put them in my firepit and as I turned around, I saw a a mans face in the cloud. He looked to be laughing and jovial. I had to laugh because I couldn't believe what I was seeing and said "let me run and get my camera" knowing perhaps the man would be gone when I came back. And then, it was a "knowing" to turn to the North and there was this woman that looked to be an Angel, a Childs face looking up at the Cross, a man looking reverently down in prayer and the face of a cat in the left-hand corner!
And then I looked to the Northwest and there was a light being - wearing a crown and holding some kind of staff!
And, the same cat peeking in on the top of the right hand corner! One cannot make this stuff up.
It is with the
Divine Masculine
Divine Feminine
Divine Child
That equals the God Energy
As one gazes into the photos, more is revealed, more than I speak of.
I did a reading with someone that told me that this miracle occurred because I called in the collective of beings that were Egyptian among others with
a ceremony of Gratitude.
Elizabeth Wysen told me this is something that occurred more often in ancient times called Blue Magic.
I have been called to share these photos for those who view them to know that your prayers are answered, and we are never alone.
We are always being heard and seen, looked after, protected AND LOVED
Magic and Callings
As I moved from the year 2020 to 2022, I was quite exacerbated with the downloading, the Shamanic and Hermetic teachings and synchronicities. I was healing within and without. I was facing the sorrow of traumas and experiencing Joy all at the same time. I was unfolding my true self and remembering in a way that I couldn't understand. I found that I had a deep knowing of connection to Lemuria and Atlantis, Babylon, Egypt and Peru among other places. I really didn't know why but I just had to trust what I was being called to as teachers weaved in and out of my life. I knew I was being well guided by my Spirit helpers.
So, one can't imagine that as I moved into 2022, I made an announcement that I was going to go to Egypt. I had been listening to Sheila Gillette who channels THEO and she announced a trip to Egypt and I knew in the depth of my soul, this was my calling. I had never thought of going to Egypt in my entire life and it was as much a stunning announcement for me as to my family and friends. I didn't know anyone that would be on the trip and it is very much out of my character to just launch off into the world like that without expectation but I knew I had to be brave and just do it.
I had no sooner announced the trip to Egypt and another miracle occurred in my life. I was cleaning out my dresser drawers and purging items throughout the house. It was a few weeks later that I was looking for something and got the notion I had placed it in a drawer I recently cleared out. When I opened the drawer, there was a post card laying in it of Machu Pichu. Truthfully, I knew very little about Machu Pichu and have never been there and I don't know anyone in my family that knows of Machu Pichu. It was a blank post card, printed in Peru. And it is unique because above the mountain is a lion and there are other images within the post card. I have not been able to find a post card like this anywhere.
I pondered how that post card got into my dresser drawer and a psychic friend of mine said "your aunt placed it there for you". It's funny because I do live in my aunts house and I do remember an evening when I was laying in bed and both of my dogs sat up and started barking at that dresser drawer and I sat up and wondered "what the heck are you guys barking at?"
Peru became another planned trip for me for that immediately manifested through an acquaintance that just happens to take people down to Peru to tour. The trip would include going to Machu Pichu. As I prepared to fly out in October 2022 to Egypt, I booked the trip to Peru for the summer of 2023.
I stayed at the Pisac Inn for most of the duration of my touring of Peru. I could have posted photos of the food I ate everyday because it was out of this world. Coming from the United States, I don't think I ever experienced the joy of eating so many fresh fruits, juices and organically grown vegetables.
The country is abundant with food and cuisine.
In this photo, Roman, the owner of the hotel is showing us the Squash that is used to make the soup I show here. It was delicious.
The hotel is situated in Pisac with many shops and markets to visit. I ate mostly at the Hotel and the food was exceptional to the point that I had no desire to go anywhere else! Of course, we did our day trips and few overnight trips and ate in restaurants throughout Peru.

Visiting Machu Picchu was not just a trip—it was a calling. When a postcard mysteriously appeared in my drawer, I could only take it as a sign that I was being summoned.
I still ponder the meaning of that call. I’ve since heard from many that as we awaken, we are called to return to the ancient sites, to retrieve the memories we left there long ago.
In earlier times, visitors could linger, meditate, and truly take in the energy of these sacred places. Now, with millions making the pilgrimage each year, the experience is different. For me, it was rushed and exhausting—and yet, at the same time, it was exhilarating.
Machu Picchu is unmistakably magical. Standing among its stones, one cannot help but wonder: Who built this place, and how? Though I have not yet fully uncovered my own connection to it, I trust that in time, the mystery will reveal itself.
Kusi Kawsay School, which means happy life in the native language of Quechua, is made up of students that range from kindergarten to 8th grade with an upper grade study group. I was fortunate to tour this school and meet the founder, Roman. The students learn through music, storytelling and hands on activities specific to the Quechua Culture.
When I visited Peru, what stood out most to me was how important it is to the Peruvian peoples to preserve their culture despite all the odds. I posted these photos of the Artwork that the children hung in the classrooms because they are a beautiful representation of the community the Andean peoples hold in their hearts.
Donating to the Kusi Kawsay School helps the Peruvian's to preserve their culture, music and ancient teachings for years to come. I cannot express how important this is and ask that if you find it in your heart - learn more about this school and the amazing work they do for the community and donate.

All over Peru, there are megalithic structures and their are entirely two different types of architecture built one on top of the other. Tour guides will say it was all built by the Incans and when one witnesses these structures, one knows this cannot be true. There are people all over the world that are connecting Peru to many of the Megalithic structures all over the world, its an unfolding and history will be rewritten about our planet and civilizations that have resided on it.
One of my favorite images I captured. The Llama, a representation of "being in service", the highest calling for our soul's purpose.
The Llama provides transportation, clothing and wool for their beautiful textiles and meat and as they feed on the grasses they also provide the fertilizer, a perfect Ayni. Ayni in Andean culture, represents interconnectedness and mutual support "Today for you, tomorrow for me".
The Llama and Alpaca served a great purpose to keeping Machu Picchu's grasses well groomed.
This trip was one of a lifetime that tested my resilience. Peru is quite mountainous and seemed everything was "up hill". We visited the Mandor Waterfall that was a walk up the hill. If it hadn't been for the encouragement and constant help from my tour guide (Angel), I don't know that I could have made it. She often offered to carry something for me, encouraged me "you can do this" and looked after me in a special way.
As one can see by the look on my face, I was a little stressed. Between the climb, walking along a short and narrow path along the side of a mountain - well, that is about as close to an "Indiana Jones" thing I will ever do. I am glad I did it, another example of pushing against resistence and coming out on the other side better for it. I would recommend anyone that wants to visit Peru to reach out to Hilayne. She is amazing!

I participated with a communal agrarian workday. The altitude, as I remember it was approximately 11-12 thousand feet. We participated with plowing the field with a hand pick and then we ate lunch that was prepared for us. Then women demonstrated for us how they spin the textiles and some in our group participated with the spinning.
Music and dance plays a vital role in the Andean culture. The owner of Inn we stayed at brought his students that are dedicated to preserving the Andean culture to come play for us.
Coca leaves have been used for thousands of years by the Incans and continues to be used throughout Peru in ceremony for divination and for readings. I drank coca tea every morning and chewed a lot of coca leaves in Peru to prevent altitude sickness and I never got sick. This picture was hanging in a restaurant and captures the essence of the coca leaves.
I started my trip in Lima to meet with the group I would be traveling with. Absolutely loved the few days stay there. I was able to visit a textile museum and ate at a few amazing restaurants prior to flying to Cusco. I was immersed within the culture as I traveled through Peru. Having come from the United States, I don't think I have had fresh fruits and vegetables like what I ate in Peru. Fresh juices in the morning and numerous meats. I plowed the field, cooked fish in an outdoor kitchen and shucked corn. In the photo, I'm holding up my two tone corn that is good luck to find. I visited Tambomachay, Kenko, Sacsayhuaman and Cusco City. Visiting Amaru was a day of working in the field and taking in the beautiful culture of the Andeans that have planted and harvested those fields for centuries. And then I visited Machu Pichu, the reason I went to Peru. I was exhausted afterward and emotional and grateful to be able to have had this experience. We then went to Santa Teresa and deeper into the rainforest to a natural hot springs of thermal glacial water. From Santa Teresa, we went to Quillabamba and the 7 Tinajas waterfall and then a five hour crossing the jungle to high mountain pass and then back down to the Sacred Valley. We stopped to visit Mandor Waterfall on the way.
I was able to visit Tipon Archeological site, an extraordinarily beautiful place with terraces and water channels that came from an underground spring. It was so peaceful. We visited Cusco and the main pre-Columbian Inca Temple Coricancha, the Inka Museo and the Chocolate factory. I also was able to visit the amazing museum, Inkariy on our way to Ollantaytambo and Urubamba, a town shaped like a corncob. Lastly, we visited Chincheros and the Native Museum where we again were shown how the textiles have been weaved and played a vital role in the Andean culture and then off to the Salt Mines. I took in a massage and the splendor of experiencing the Unucha Spa. I had a coca reading and also had a took part in a reading using eggs. This was a spiritual calling for me. I wished I could have shared all the photos becasue this is just the tip of the iceberg. I know one day I will return to Peru!
Weaving textiles in Peru dates back thousands of years, with evidence of textile production from pre-Inca cultures like the Paracas and Nazca. Textiles can be found throughout Peru. On two occasions, I was able to visit with Andean women that demonstrated their weaving skills that has been passed down for generations.
The above photo of textiles were found intact and dated back thousands of years.
For the practice of the Pachakuti Mesa, a Mesa cloth is used that is weaved with patterns and colors that are symbolic, representing the weaver's origin, status, or local environment. I have Mesa cloths that I chose because of the symbolism that is represented within the practice as a Mesa carrier.

I performed a Despacho Ceremony with one of my nieces around Mother's Day.
There were many prayers of gratitude and prayers for transformational change for my niece and blessings for the family.
I didn't expect to capture such an amazing photograph.
We had a few visitors!
