Lower Chakra Healing Intensive:
Grounding and Lightwork Retreat

Santuarío de la Veronica, Cuzco, Peru
November 14-22, 2025

There are unique places on Earth that offer deep healing and renewal, just by bringing our bodies into the resonant field.

The land at Nevado Veronica, or Apu* Veronica, has an especially powerful matrix that supports grounding, purifying and healing the lower chakras. *Apu is a Quechua word, meaning ‘spirit-consciousness’ of a mountain.

Making a pilgrimage to her is a powerful way to heal karmic wounding around one of our most core, formative relationships: our inner relationship to the Mother Earth.

We all hold patterns in the lower chakras that reinforce negative relationship with self and others. Collective material around safety, control dynamics, denial, and manipulation distort our centers of being and feeling, and we’re left with a sense of fear - fear of who we are, and what our lives are about.

We see this playing out geopolitically around the world, as our individual and collective fear loops give away our planet to authoritarian figures who feed off the gaps created inside us - the internal spaces where we abandon our own pain, and trade our capacity for love for a fantasy: that a parent or god figure will take responsibility for us.

Reclaiming an intimate, experiential connection to the Earth is an essential step in evolving ourselves out of the negative momentum of the individual + collective wounded psyche.

When we begin to purify the self- deception patterns that have ruled our experience of being and feeling for countless generations (and lifetimes!), we open new space to explore the amazing creative potential of our humanity.

This retreat will guide participants to deeply ground, own and release old pain and fear, and to open relationship between Spirit, Heart, Body and Mind: to remember that the Earth is at all times our mother, teacher, guide and doctor.

The retreat will be held at Santuarío de la Veronica, a remote, privately maintained eco reserve northwest of Ollantaytambo. It’s a truly a sacred and not easily accessible place, that offers protection to a stunning native cloud forrest ecosystem, beautiful waterfalls, glacial streams and countless endemic species, from butterflies to spectacled bears. I hope you can join!

The retreat includes:

  • Pre and post - retreat intention and integration meetings.

  • 2 nights in Cusco hotel (shared rooms) + meals

  • Lodging, transportation to and from Airport, hotel, and Santuarío

  • Visit to the Cuzco portal at Cuzco Cathedral
