- Connect with the lineage rites of the medicine men and women from the Inca tradition.

The path of beauty
All indigenous cultures have a Medicine Wheel that represents the cycles of life we undertake during our time on Earth. It’s a map of human consciousness that guides you closer to your true self—who you are meant to be. This path of initiations, rooted in the Earthkeeper tradition from the Sacred Valley of Peru, has been handed down by the medicine men and women of the Inca tradition. As you move through the rites and initiations of the Medicine Wheel, your luminous energy field is prepared for the times of great change and transformation that are now upon us. This is your calling to play an essential part in this moment of evolution.

“I embarked on the Medicine Wheel training with an element of skepticism. I had no concept that this was the beginning of what was to become the most powerful and painfully beautiful journey. But the skill, experience and presence of Chris, the team, and the archetypical energies we work with created and maintained the safest and most sacred space to do our work. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for showing me the way!” Liz Sa
Take your place around the fire
Within the year, there are four modules where we meet together. These classes form our main learning together – and take place at roughly the same time each year:
- Fri 11 – Wed 16 April ~ Module 1: The Way of The Empath – Archetype of Serpent (South direction)
- Fri 11 – Wed 16 July ~ Module 2: The Way of the Peacemaker – Archetype of Jaguar (West direction)
- Fri 24 – Wed 29 October ~ Module 3: The Way of the Alchemist – Archetype of Hummingbird (North direction)
- Fri 6 – Wed 11 February 2026 ~ Module 4: The Way of the Visionary – Archetype of Eagle/Condor (East direction)
A year-long journey
The first three days of each module, known as the Medicine Wheel, focus on your personal healing journey where you’ll create a medicine bundle. The last three days of each module are dedicated to learning the Healing Tools necessary to become a shamanic practitioner. These transformative energy healing techniques are powerful, even if you choose not to practice professionally. Assisting in another’s healing accelerates your own healing, and brings presence, self-confidence, and a deep sense of purpose. The energy medicine you acquire will stay with you, ensuring a meaningful and fulfilling life, regardless of your chosen path.
A lineage of cloth and stone
In each direction, we work with stones that have called to us, representing your personal healing work and the transformation of sacred wounds into personal power. Stones, which have been used as record keepers throughout history, serve as tools for ancient altars and hold deep significance. Your ‘Mesa’, eventually containing 13 medicine stones, becomes your personal altar of transformation, embodying the healing medicine you’ve cultivated through deep processes in each direction. This medicine evolves into the unique gift you offer to the world.
Nature connection and mentoring
The core routines of Nature Connection practice have become a core element of our training. When we are together in class, we begin every day with practices that help connect us to ourselves, to each other, and to the natural world. They are simple, powerful and transformative. Similarly, our Mentorship programme, offering our students the support of an elder as they make their way around the Wheel, has proved to immensely valuable.
