Sacred Earth Journeys
Join us in a heart-opening journey to celebrate the Spring Equinox at Machu Picchu with Andean Medicine Man, Healer and Wisdom Keeper, Puma Quispe Singona. Explore the mysteries of the majestic Andes and find enlightenment and inspiration in this warm and harmonic land. Stroll around the colourful town of Cusco, wander... through the lush Sacred Valley of the Incas and travel back through time while rediscovering ancient Incan sites in Ollantaytambo and Pisac.
As we seek out various temples and sacred sites, and experience and participate in Sacred Ceremonies and Traditional Rituals led by Medicine Men and Wisdom keepers, we will be deeply immersed in the enigmatic culture of the Incas. Connect with Pachamama (Mother Earth), the Incan goddess of fertility and the harvest, and develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for this great Earth. Open your heart as you listen to the whispers in the wind and let the Condors guide you to find your inner peace and balance.
Enjoy a unique opportunity as we immerse ourselves in the local community and experience the joy and peace of the Peruvian culture and people. Let their smiles and laughter inspire you to show kindness to all who you encounter and remind you to share joy with yourself and the world.
Our Optional Excursion to the Amazon is an opportunity not to be missed. Enveloped by the entrancing sights and sounds of the jungle, experience a reawakening. Enjoy invigorating treks through the dense jungle, relax as you drift along the river in traditional Amazonian boats, encounter a medley of flora and fauna, and simply relish the rejuvenating effects of the Amazon. This revitalizing extension is the perfect way to end off a journey of transformational experiences and profound self discovery, allowing you to return home fully reborn.
Tour Leader: Puma Quispe Singona - Speaking to thousands of people globally and inspiring them in his special heartfelt way, Puma Quispe Singona is described as “magical, compassionate and wise beyond his years” with a deep reverence for Pachamama (Earth Mother) and an ancient understanding of the Cosmos.

Teen Journey Details
Teen Journey goes far beyond an ordinary teen camp experience. While incorporating many fun activities that we have long come to associate with summer camp, including the opportunity to create deep, long-lasting friendships, there is also an invitation into the awareness of the depth and sacredness of the task of being a person of integrity and honour. A person who is true to themselves and a valuable member of a community.
We will introduce young people to tools and multi-disciplined perspectives that will support them with their most important task in life…discovering and expressing who they really are in order to contribute to the whole.
Accepting one’s own unique essence, experiencing interconnectedness with all living beings, inevitably leads us to an understanding of our own soul’s purpose. While many of the experiences during this week will be transformational in nature it is first important to understand the process of being an adolescent, psychologically.
There are two major forces that drive us as human beings in our development, the force for togetherness and belonging and the force for individuating, deciding for ourselves who we are and what course our life will take, the force for autonomy and freedom.
As children we naturally choose the force for togetherness signified by our family and tend to shift or unconsciously accommodate ourselves to fit into the family rules and beliefs of what is good or bad in order to belong. Every family has a different set of rules both spoken and unspoken of what it means to be a member of this family. Because our very survival does depend on the contact and care from our family we will cut off or repress parts of ourselves that may not be accepted in this particular system in order to feel secure. Children will always choose the force for togetherness and belonging and adapt themselves to fit.
Yet the force for autonomy, for the freedom to decide who we are and what we will stand for, can only be submerged for so long. The stages in our lives when the clash of these two forces is most apparent is at 2 years old and again in adolescence. The 2 year old is starting to say NO, and wanting to do it themselves as a demonstration of their independence from the caregivers. The same task appears again in adolescence. The teen wants to define themselves as a separate unique being.
Whether this natural task goes smoothly or not will often depend on the parent’s response to it. It is the teenager’s job developmentally to now begin to test the family boundaries and themselves in their personal discovery of who they are. This is often a time of collision between parents and teens and much of that chaos can be brought to harmony if we understand what is actually helpful and supportive, what aligns with this task and what does not. Fight the flow of this drive and you are in effect upping the ante in terms of the teens needs to act out or act in.
Teen Journey will include the parents in a closing day workshop to learn both how better to communicate with their teens and increase their understanding of themselves and how this time can actually be an expansion in awareness for the whole family.
Teen Journey will invite teens into first an understanding and expressing who they are through intimate sharing in small group circles with teen mentors. A trained Assistant’s Team will oversee these groups and ensure that each teen is cared for, not pushed but invited into a sacred expansion of their humanity, spirituality and unique purpose.
Holding space for the entire group for the 8 days of this remarkable and creative journey will be workshop facilitators Tasha Simms M.A. R.P.C. and Ian Barhydt. Through the creativity of ritual, meditation, visualization, dance and intention, a safe and familiar container is formed that allows for stepping into the unknown to learn to trust one’s inner guidance and accept oneself.
Various internationally acclaimed leaders including Malidoma Patrice Some, Satyen & Suzanne Raja from WarriorSage, Mahara Brenna and Native elders will come to the camp to work with the teens both in helping them experience themselves in new and deeper ways and then calling on them to creatively determine their place in the whole community from the perspective of what they are called to give.
Each person is unique and has much to contribute to this community, just as the community will become a safe and solid container to hold the teen in their personal exploration and questioning. Once this level of confidence and purpose is reached then the teen can decide what their particular gifts are that they can offer back both globally and to their community.
The beauty of this program will not end after 8 days. Both the possibility of ongoing gatherings as a community and smaller more intimate group work will be available for the following year. Groups will focus on various themes as well as checking in to offer a supportive environment of learning and sharing. Group work can be available to parents as well in order to facilitate healthy parenting and personal exploration

Sacred Earth Journeys
Join author Phil Cousineau as he leads you on a pilgrimage through the enchanted “Isle of Eire” where the age of myth, mystery and magic live on. Captivating Ireland is still a land where mysteries are etched as runes within ruins. Treading the Irish mythic past today, we encounter a rich culture that embodies the pres...ervation of its magnificent oral tradition, ancient rituals, romantic poetry and literature, and vibrant folklore and music. Meander along scenic roads that hug the rugged Irish western shore, roam about the undulating countryside and rocky plains, ferry to the alluring Aran Islands, and journey deep into the very heart of Ireland.
Our journey will include visits to the towering Cliffs of Moher, the limestone moonscape of the Burren, Yeat’s Tower, Kilfenora, the City of High Crosses, the ancient grave passage of Newgrange, the literary shrines of Dublin, and more! Together, we will walk in the footsteps of 15 centuries of pilgrims as we climb Croagh Patrick, the holiest place in Ireland, and explore the ruins of Clonmacnoise, the abbey where the Irish monks “helped save civilization”, in the words of Thomas Cahill. Stroll through charming seaside villages and quaint country towns where the traditions of old are still very alive today. Gaze at stunning panoramas from soaring cliffs, discover ancient ruins and stone structures, journey to sacred sites of pilgrimage, and return to a time of romance and enchantment with visits to majestic castles. Discover the vibrant culture of the Irish with traditional entertainment, music and fun-filled evening pub crawls. Indulge your creativity with daily journaling, sketching, poetry readings and traditional folktales, and enjoy the peace and serenity of beautiful settings for personal reflection.
Our journey to what was once called the “Island of Saints and Scholars, Poets and Priests”, will combine many of the myriad elements such as storytelling, music, landscape and fierce independence that have made this Emerald Isle one of the most beloved countries in the world. This will also be a journey of questions: Where does the myth of leprechauns come from? Who was Molly McGuire? What role does the pub play in Irish Life? What was the Irish Famine and how did it influence the Great Irish Immigration to the North America? Why do the Irish have such a reputation for being entertaining storytellers, poets and musicians? Tour leader, Phil Cousineau will discuss all these themes and more during enlightening daily lectures, group discussions, and informative talks so that the many myths and secrets of Ireland can be revealed. We will also enjoy special guest appearances along the way with one of Ireland’s leading authorities on Irish music, P.J. Curtis as well as leading expert on Celtic Mysticism, Dara Molloy, and have the opportunity to meet other wonderfully entertaining and knowledgeable locals to fully enrich our journey.
Ireland is truly a land that reaches deep into your heart, lifts your spirits and stirs you to your very core. So come join your new “Anam Cara” (Celtic for Soul Friends) and discover this fascinating island which entices all the senses and leaves you craving more on a journey that combines an exploration of Irish mythology, poetry, literature, history and mysticism as well as taking a look at the rapid changes in the new aspects of the Celtic Tiger. This pilgrimage is designed to be a meaningful, spirit renewing experience to nurture your creativity and help you understand the myriad aspects of one of the most inexhaustibly interesting cultures in the world.
Tour Leaders: Phil Cousineau is a writer, teacher, independent scholar, documentary filmmaker, travel leader, storyteller and author of many books including the national best-seller The Art of Pilgrimage. Currently, he is host of the much-praised 10 part “inner travel” series, Global Spirit on Link TV. Read more about Phil Cousineau on our About Your Tour Leader page.
