The Way Of The Hummingbird

Let’s be honest …

We’re all in need something these days. It seems like the world is caught up in chaos, pain and conflict and as I observe what’s happening around me, I notice a more collective pull back towards the ancient ways beginning to emerge.

A gentle resonance and remembering within all of us - a breaking down of boundaries and walls and a turning towards those who already remember.

I feel this in myself - one part of me heads into the dark, wintry depths to connect in with my own Norse Heritage and the other … The other is called to the mountains of Peru - to a people who base all their foundations on love and reciprocity.

Rather than choosing to keep their ancient ways hidden from the world, the Q’ero have a prophecy that they are now fulfilling. This prophecy tells of a time when their knowledge and wisdom must be shared with the world and that time is right now.

Over the last few years, I have built up a relationship with the Apaza family from Peru - a well respected and prominent family, who have dedicated their lives to teaching those who feel called to these ways. I now am working with Don Alejandro Apaza of and .yoga.soulpath to bring the opportunity to learn from him directly right to the UK.

Being immersed and initiated in these teachings, you will be part of the prophecy too - a chance to hold something so rare and precious and in turn a chance to share it in community in love. You are making history…and also the future.

✨ Join us this July in sacred community ✨

From 4th–8th July we gather in the heart of nature for a deeply nourishing retreat of Andean wisdom, ceremony, healing and remembrance with Q’ero teachings from Peru. A time to step away from the noise, reconnect with the living earth, and walk in reciprocity with spirit.

🌿 Special Highlight — 7th July: Despacho/Haiwarichuy Specialisation Day

A beautiful opportunity to deepen into the sacred art of the Despacho — the traditional Andean prayer bundle ceremony of gratitude, offering and transformation.

In this specialisation lesson you’ll explore:
✨ The medicine and meaning of Despacho
✨ How to create and hold these sacred offerings
✨ Prayer, intention and ceremony in the Q’ero tradition
✨ Ways to weave this practice into healing work and daily life

A despacho is a conversation with the universe… a living prayer of ayni (sacred reciprocity).
Whether joining us for the full retreat or feeling called to the specialisation day, this is an invitation to remember ancient ways of relating with the unseen, the mountains, the earth and your own soul.

The Path of the Chaski ✨🪶

In the Q’ero tradition, the Chaskis were sacred messengers — runners of the mountains, carrying prayers, wisdom and living transmissions across the Andes. They moved between worlds, weaving connection between the seen and unseen.

To walk the path of the Chaski is to become a messenger of the heart. To listen deeply. To carry prayers with integrity. To remember that we are all bridges.

The Chakaruna Karpay — “the bridge person initiation” — is a powerful transmission inviting us to become a bridge between Earth and Spirit, human and divine, ancient and emerging. Through this blessing we awaken the luminous thread that connects us to the sacred web of life and deepen our walk in ayni — sacred reciprocity.

On 6th July 2026, at the TWOTH Retreat, we will have the rare blessing of receiving the Chakaruna Karpay in the presence of Don Alejandro Apaza, who will be sharing teachings from the Q’ero tradition.
A beautiful opportunity to receive this sacred transmission within the living wisdom of the Andes.

The Chaski reminds us:
Move with devotion.
Carry beauty.
Run with spirit.
Become the bridge.

May we remember the messenger within. 🕊️

✨ Chumpi Stone Healing with Don Alejandro ✨

There is a powerful, ancient medicine from the Andes that speaks directly to the body…

The sacred chumpi stones — gifted through the lineage of the Q’ero — are profound tools for physical healing, energetic alignment, and deep restoration. Used with intention and reverence, they help to clear heavy energy, restore flow, and support the body back into balance.
This is especially potent for practitioners who feel called to support their clients on a physical level, bridging hands-on healing with energetic wisdom.

On 4th & 5th July 2026, we are honoured to welcome Don Alejandro Apaza, who will be sharing these teachings in person. This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from a lineage holder and experience the depth, simplicity, and power of this work.

🌿 You will learn how to:
– Work with chumpi stones safely and effectively
– Support physical healing through energetic techniques
– Clear and harmonise the body’s energy field
– Deepen your connection to Andean wisdom traditions
Whether you are an osteopath, bodyworker, energy healer, or simply feel the call… this weekend will open something truly special.

🕊 Come and sit in circle.
🪶 Come and remember.
🔥 Come and learn tools that can transform the way you support others.

Spaces are limited. Message me to reserve your place or to receive more details.

✨ Healing Animals & Plants: Remembering Our Role as Earth Stewards ✨

There is a sacred responsibility we carry…
Not above the Earth, but in relationship with her. 🌎
The plants are not here just for us.
The animals are not separate from us.
We are part of a living, breathing web—and we are being called to care for it.

This July, we welcome Don Alejandro Apaza, a wisdom keeper of the Q’ero lineage, to guide a deeply powerful workshop on healing animals and plants.
This work is not symbolic.
It is a remembering of your role as a guardian of the natural world.

Within this space and as part of this 4 day immersive experience, you will be guided to:

🌿 Work energetically with plants to support their health and vitality
🐾 Offer healing to animals through connection and intention
🌎 Step into your role as a witness, protector, and steward of the Earth
✨ Restore harmony where there has been imbalance
This is the medicine of Ayni—right relationship, sacred reciprocity.
A remembering that healing does not only flow to us, but through us…
Back into the land, the waters, the plants, and all our relations.

Held within our retreat at .yoga.soulpath between 4th-8th July 2026.

If you feel the quiet call to serve something greater…
This space is for you.
