The Living Language of Reciprocity

Gather, connect, and learn from Ximena, a Pampamisayoq of the Q’ero lineage of the Andes of Peru.

Ximena is a bridge woman, mother of four, grandmother, co-founder of Casa del Sol Retreat Center, and a guardian of the native forest in the mountains of Vilcabamba, in the Valley of Longevity in southern Ecuador. For many years she has shared ancestral traditions rooted in the wisdom of the Andes, accompanying others through ceremony, prayer, reciprocity, and a deep relationship with the living world.

Andean Cosmovision & Reciprocity

In the Andean tradition, reciprocity is considered the fundamental principle for everything to flow from a place of well-being.

It is a form of language that expresses recognition of the greater forces that sustain our existence, and likewise a way of “praying a request,” but with an open hand, also offering in return a gesture filled with good feeling.

The teachers say that we walk an “enamored” path; likewise, the Andean offering is filled with all the sweetness that one expresses in love.

It is the traditional way in which the guardians of the altars care for the balance of the community and the territory, continually feeding the energies that are sustaining life.

This gathering is an invitation to share in the precious relationship between the guardians of the High Andes and the mountains, and to learn how to make a traditional Andean offering.

In the prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor, it speaks precisely of this reciprocity and complementarity between both hearts.

The winds of the South arrive to awaken a memory that, in some places, has been forgotten.

No previous experience with Andean traditions is necessary. All who feel called to receive these teachings with openness and respect are welcome.
