2024 Andean Mysticism
Three-Month Online Training Series

 January 30 – April 16, registration ends December 29, 2023
June 4 – August 27 (no class July 2), registration ends May 3, 2024
Sept 17 – Dec 10 (no class Nov 26), registration ends August 9, 2024

Learn the Andean sacred arts from the comfort of home.

Learn to engage consciously with the world of living energy. Discover how to bring coherence to your own energy body to further your conscious evolution. Bring greater love, joy, and well-being to yourself and the circumstances of your life. Live more passionately and grandly as both a spirit being and a human being. These are the promises of Andean mysticism if you apply yourself to its practices. And they are real.

In this three-month Foundation Training in Andean Mysticism, we meet weekly on Tuesdays for 3-hour sessions online on the free Zoom conferencing platform. You will learn both the promises of this graceful and powerful energy tradition and to apply the practices to realize its promises. As I and scores of my students can attest, it works. But your results are proportional to the quality of your commitment. This is the great law of the tradition—ayni, or the law of reciprocity.

In the Foundation Training we cover almost all of the material that is covered in the in-person trainings, from the energy exercises to the misha to despachos. The training is in three parts. Please see the tab “Learn the Andean Sacred Arts” for greater details about each aspect of the training. Generally, this is the tradition presented as purely as possible to how the masters of old taught it, as passed on to me from my primary teacher don Juan Nuñez del Prado. It is presented from the perspective of the fourth level, which is a stance not of rote learning but of personal energy artistry. As an overview, you will learn:

• The right-side paña training (6 weeks), which is the mystical and yachay (energetic perception and knowledge) aspects of the tradition through the teachings of don Benito Qoriwaman. This covers the energy cosmology in detail and all the fundamental energy practices, including the core heavy-energy releasing practices of saminchakuy and hucha miqhuy, and the empowering practice of saiwachakuy.
• The middle path of munay (3 weeks), called the chaupi, which covers the teachings of Q’ero master don Andres Espinosa. In this section we weave the chunpis (belts of power) and awaken the ñawis (mystical eyes), as well as learn how to move and tune energy through our energy body. We learn to actually generate munay (love) and hampi munay (healing) energies, and to be self-sufficient in willka, the sacred black light energy.
• The left-side lloq’e training (3 weeks), which is the magical and llank’ay (using energy to take action in the world) aspects of the tradition through the teachings of don Melchor Desa. Here we work deep within our mystical body to connect all of its aspects into one coherent system and we establish a relationship with our eight helper spirits and work with them. We seed ourselves to evolve to 6th-level beings and to increase the love, joy, and well-being within ourselves and that we can bring to all aspects of our lives.

Foundation Training classes are on Tuesdays, from 1 pm – 4 pm Eastern time US. If you cannot be with us live, there is the option to learn through the audio recordings that are provided through a Dropbox link after each class. Many students have participated in this way. 

The nonrefundable cost of the three-month Foundation Training is $695 USD.  The course fee is be broken down into three payments over the length of the training. All payments are through Paypal. 

To register or for more information, please email Joan at QentiWasi@gmail.com. Space is limited. 

What Past Students Have Said About the Online Training:

“The online Andean training and the Masters training with Joan were more enriching and empowering than I could have imagined. I loved Joan’s faithfulness to preservation of the lineage as it was taught to her, and her clear and pragmatic approach is so refreshing. I feel like I gained so many valuable tools from both courses as well as an empowered perspective that comes from choosing a path of personal responsibility. Every class was absolutely packed with fascinating knowledge and practical energetic tools alongside fascinating stories. Joan is so incredibly knowledgeable and creates a captivating and engaging class environment. I will listen to the class [recordings] again and again and confidently look forward to increasing my personal energetic coherence and refining the ayni that I engage the cosmos with.”   —J.H.

“The [online] course on the Andean cosmovision with Joan Parisi Wilcox has been extraordinary. She was able to share with us some very special teachings from elders of the Andean mystical traditions. In twelve years of study of these ways, I had not experienced many of the teachings and exercises before or in this same fashion. Joan seeks to share the teachings as true and authentically to their roots as possible. And clarifies the lineage from which they come. Joan teaches with wisdom, clarity, integrity and thoroughness. It was an honor and a privilege to work with Joan.”  —D.P.

If you are viewing this testimonial, it is likely that you are considering taking classes from Joan. I am here to say—just do it! I started with Joan in 2008 in reading her book Masters of the Living Energy: The Mystical World of the Q’ero of Peru. In truth, I have read it seven times! There is so much information in that book! I have lived in Peru since 2011, and still I take her classes, and still I learn from her. She does such phenomenal research—she manages to uncover things I have not yet learned from being here [in Peru] all these years. I have taken many of her online classes, from the Foundational Training to the Master Classes and all of the Deep-Dive classes, and I can honestly say Joan’s teachings are 100% worth your time and money if you want to dive deeply into Andean mysticism. She teaches in a style that I can learn from! In the Andes, you are expected to learn through osmosis, or expected to spend a lifetime learning these practices. I am not going to say that they are an easy weekend course—but if you go with Joan, you are going to learn much more than you can imagine and even more than you would learn while you are in Peru. Do it before you come to Peru—it will enhance your experience immeasurably! —L.M.S.

“Joan’s classes have been a life changer for me. I have been through many apprenticeships with different teachers; each had their value and place in my development, but I was always left with a feeling there was more. Joan’s unique wisdom and knowledge, teaching and writing skills, as well as her deep long-term commitment to Andean mysticism, has left me with the feeling that I have found my ‘something more.’ I recommend and encourage anyone who has asked the question: ‘Is there more?’ to take Joan’s classes.  —L.P.K.

“Joan is an outstanding teacher. She approaches these authentic, precious teachings from the Andes with humility and respect. A fine story teller, her scholarly perspective on Andean mysticism is engaging.  This training gives a complete account of the Andean cosmovision and how to access the world of living nature in order to increase joy, wholeness and healing in one’s life.”  —A.B.

“I gained an immense wisdom from Joan’s [online] sessions. I felt the energies during [exercises] at par as being in a workshop. This truly portrays that energy has no boundaries and it works like magic. The Andean path is unequivocally a path of mystical energies, which are so simple to work with.”  —R.P

“The teachings I have received from Joan have helped me to help others in my healing practice. She is very precise, clear, and takes the time to intellectually explain things. When Joan doesn’t know the source or something about the teachings, she is humble enough to make it known to you. She allows you to come to your own conclusions. She is one of the most humble women I have ever met. She is a living example of the teachings and how to use them to help yourself and others. She basically lives the teachings, and that is why these teachings exist and made it so far. I highly recommend Joan as a teacher and the course as a whole for self-development.”  —A.B. (different student than the previous A.B.)

2024 Master Class Schedule

This is a three-week course, and all classes are held on Thursdays, from 1 pm – 3 pm Eastern time. Class choices are (select one series):
March 7, 14 & 21,  registration deadline is February 9, 2024
July 11, 18 & 25, registration deadline is June 7, 2024
October 10, 17 & 24, registration deadline is September 9, 2024

This three-week class is available only to those who have completed all three sections of the Foundation Training in Andean mysticism with Joan, don Juan Nuñez del Prado, or another teacher trained by don Juan.

In this Master Class series, you will be introduced to the work of Bolivian master Tata Lorenzo. Kawsay Puriy means “walking in a cosmos of living energy.” In this training, you will indeed be connecting with the world and cosmos of living energy, working in a new way in your life and in the world. This deep mystical work helps you consciously evolve and step up the qanchispatañan (the Stairway of Seven Steps of conscious evolution). Among the greatest gifts of this training is feeling how tenderly yet powerfully you are supported by the entire living universe. Over these three classes, you will:

• Seed the energies within yourself to become a teqse paqo, or universal paqo (high 4th level).
• Work through your personal pachas (space-time realms), including your past and future, with your family and the whole of humanity, and with your life in this human world and your connection to the universe.
• Receive support and empowerment from the entire Pachamama and Kawsay Pacha, including many cosmic “beings” such as the planets, the Milky Way galaxy, and the stars.
• Work more deeply with your Inka Seed, ñawis, and chunpis to integrate your energies with the Taytanchis/God within and the Taytanchis/God without.
• Empower your inner three worlds: the hanaqpacha, kaypacha and ukhupacha within your own poq’po.
• Work with the willka energy (black light energy: the sacred, creational energy) in all your energy centers and your Inka Seed, imprinting its power throughout your mystical body. Willka energy charges you to make a huge leaps in your perceptual abilities and heightens your ability to know yourself more truly and lovingly .
• Contribute through your own conscious evolution to the rise of the Runakay Mosoq, the New Humanity.

In essence, this work is not only about being part of the cosmos, but feeling the cosmos as a living energy within your own poq’po. It is the connection with everything. It is sending energy “ahead of you” to help you progress faster, cleanse yourself more deeply, and reach the higher 4th level more quickly. It is a way to be supported and empowered by the entire cosmos of living energy and the spirit beings of the cosmic and earthly realms.

The training runs for three consecutive weeks. We meet weekly for two hours each class on the  free online Zoom conferencing platform. You will be provided with audio recordings of each class for your private use only (via download from Dropbox). Many students  who can’t meet with us live take this course through the audio recordings only. It easily lends itself to that form of learning.

The cost of the three-week class is a single nonrefundable payment of $230 USD. All payments are through Paypal. Space is limited.

Please note that to take this course you must have completed the three-part Foundation training in Andean mysticism with Joan or another teacher who has apprenticed to don Juan Nuñez del Prado.

Deep-Dive Advanced Classes 

How do you deepen your practice and knowledge of Andean mysticism? What additional important information is there that was not able to be covered because of time constraints in the Foundation Training or Master Class? How would taking a deep dive into specific aspects of the Andean mystical tradition enrich your understanding of the energy practices and help further your own personal development?  The answer is a series of Advanced “Deep Dive” classes.

The Advanced Classes are one-time classes for those paqos who have taken the Foundation Series and are hungry to explore the finer points of the Andean cosmovision and energy practices. They are largely informational, although several of the classes involve substantial energy work within the class and may require some at-home pre-work in preparation for the class. There are five advanced classes, each on a different topic, scheduled for 2025, and most are offered twice during the year.  

• All classes are held on a Thursday afternoon, and they run three hours, with some going a l ittle longer depending on the subject and the vigor of class discussions. All times below are Eastern time US. Please adjust for your time zone.
• We will meet online on the free Zoom conferencing platform. 
• An audio file will be provided after the class to all participants for their private use only.
• You may participate only via the recording if your schedule or time zone doesn’t allow you to participate with us live.
• You must have completed the three-part Foundation training in order to take a Deep-Drive Class. 

Cost, Dates, and Topics:
Each deep-dive class is three hours, and the cost is of each is a single nonrefundable payment of $125 USD. All payments are through Paypal. There are two date options for each class, except for the Holy Relationships class, which will be offered only once in 2024. 

 ~ What’s In a Word: Deep Dive into Quechua Terms, Incantations, and Concepts   1 pm – 4 pm Eastern time, $125 USD
      April 11, registration deadline March 15, 2024
      or
      September 12, registration deadline August 9. 2024

In this class, we take a deep dive into the mystical lexicon of the Andean paqo tradition and its related concepts. What do the words sami and hucha mean to regular Andeans and how do those meanings enrich our understanding of their mystical meaning? How are the sonqo and heart different? The qosqo and belly different? What is munay suti and what does it have to do with enlightenment? What is an utisqa? How can the kutiy incantation be interpreted and how might it apply to a soul retrieval ceremony? What is the difference between being salka and purun? We will explore the mystical vocabulary and concepts of the Andean tradition to get to the “meanings behind the meanings” in a way that will expand both our appreciation of the tradition and our personal practice in surprising ways.    

~ Driving the Kawsay: Deep Dive into Ayni and Manifesting Intentions   1 pm – 4 pm Eastern time, $125 USD 
    June 20, registration deadline May 24
    or
    December 12, registration deadline November 15

You know you are making energetic interchanges with the living energy. You know you can accumulate personal power to drive energy to manifest desires, improve conditions in your life, and so much more. So, how are you doing? If you are not content with your ability to partner with the living universe to live the brightest, most productive, and fulfilling life possible, then this might be the class for you. We will ask and answer such questions as, What is our actual relationship to reality? How much influence can we really have? How responsible (or not) are we for the conditions of our life? How can we drive kawsay to  manifest our desires? Together, we will drill down into the Andean cosmovision of the nature of reality, the influence of ayni interchanges, how will and intent play into these interchanges, and your overall relationship as a human being with the field of living energy. Then we will do an intense energy practice so each participant can drive the kawsay toward manifesting one of their most audacious intentions, desires, or wishes. In preparation for this practice, you will be asked to do some pre-work at home before the class.    

~ Deep Dive into Achieving Holy Relationships   1 pm – 4 pm Eastern time, $125 USD
     September 19, registration deadline August 16, 2024

How many of us currently have, or have had in the past, a “holy” relationship, one of deep and abiding respect, caring, understanding, and reciprocity? The answer most likely is that few of us have experienced this kind of highly refined relationship. They are rare, because while most of us aspire to such holy relationships, we don’t know what it takes to actually achieve them (or sustain them). The truth is that, for most of us, we are thankful enough when our relationships are okay or even great. But holy? That’s probably a pipe dream. Except that it isn’t! The Andean tradition, in combination with wisdom from other traditions, including modern psychology, provides a template for what a holy relationship looks and feels like, and a roadmap for achieving this level of highly self-aware interaction. Our deep dive into holy relationships is based on the little known “stairway” of relationships—the qanchispatañan of relational energy—which parallels the qanchispatañan of the seven stages of personal human consciousness. Once we understand what each step up this relational stairway requires, we will see that while it isn’t an easy journey to reach a holy relationship, it is absolutely possible. This class requires pre-work that will be used in class for an energy practice that will help us raise the vibration of one our most valued, but not fully developed personal relationships.

~ Deep Dive: All About the Despacho (Haywarisqa)   1 pm – 4 pm Eastern time, $125 USD
    June 6, registration deadline May 10, 2024
    or
    November 7, registration deadline October 11, 2024

Because of time constraints in the Foundation Training, we don’t go into the nuances of the despacho (haywarisqa in Quechua), which is the “sacrament” of the Andes. In this class we take a deep dive into aspects of the despacho that most people never hear about or don’t consider. While the despacho is the most common ritual performed in the Andes, it is rarely ever “just” a ritual offering. It is, as I like to put it, an externalization of our internal state and of our personal relationship with the living universe. The despacho is the great teacher of ayni, and we will examine the many ways it helps us develop ourselves as we learn to practice ayni with greater integrity and power. We will explore how the despacho is a kind of teaching about the unfolding revelation of ourselves and the flowering of our Inka Seed. Beyond the philosophical understanding of the despacho, we will look at the more technical aspects of making one. There are all kinds of despachos, and we want to choose the style, organization, and design of our despacho that best expresses our intent. We will not actually make a despacho together in class, but we will take a deep dive into the fourth-level perspective of many different kinds of despachos, which will be sure to expand your understanding and vision of what making and offering a despacho means.

~ Deep Dive: Willka: The Black Light Energy  1 pm – 4 pm Eastern time, $125 USD
    May 16, registration deadline April 19, 2024
    or
    November 14, registration deadline October 18, 2024

Black light or black energy is seen by many cultures and traditions as negative, dangerous, even evil. Yet in the Andes, black energy, called willka, is a sacred, powerful, and creational energy. In fact, the entire Inka Empire was surrounded by sources of willka. And when we weave the chunpis (belts of power) into our mystical and physical bodies, we are intentionally generating willka inside ourselves so that we have our own repository of willka energy to draw upon. In this class, we will explore the historical disconnect between what black-light energy originally may have been and how it came to be so misunderstood. We will explore how when we work with willka and our Inka Seed together, we generate the kawsay that can propel our journey of self-awareness and inner development, and support our progress up the qanchispatañan of the seven stages of personal human consciousness. In the process, we will examine alternative ways to look at the chunpis as descending and ascending frequencies of kawsay, at the willka energy as a kind of chaupi energy (an integrating energy and a “turning point” energy), and at our Inka Seed as a tiny energetic structure that is in reality a huge information field. There will be pre-work for this class, and a  major in-class energy practice to work with a source of willka outside of ourselves and another source within ourselves. Our purpose in this energy exercise is the use this most powerful creational, healing energy to transform something that is most heavy within us and that we have not yet in our lives been able to heal or release. Through working with willka, we get a touch of the fifth-level of the tukuy hampeq, the total healer. 

~ Deep Dive: The Misha (Mesa)  1 pm – 4 pm Eastern time, $125 USD

    May 9, registration deadline April 5, 2024
    or
   August 29, registration deadline July 31, 2024

Your paña misha qhepi is the right-side misha, or personal power bundle. The misha is a sign that you are a paqo: that you have been trained in and practice the sacred arts of the Andes of Peru. There is no one way to create a misha or to use it, but there are broad universal concepts that apply to all mishas and the way the paqos carry and use theirs.

In the Foundation Training we cover the basics of the misha, and here in this class we will take a deep dive into what the misha is, how you create one, what the khuyas (sacred objects) are that go into a misha, how you acquire and charge khuyas, how the khuyas might be arranged when your misha is open, and how you use the misha and/or the khuyas for various purposes ritualistically. We will also look briefly at how many of these aspects of the misha vary across lineages and geographic regions of the Andes, especially between the Andean mountain region and the Peruvian Northcoast area. We also will consider differences in creating and using a misha from the third and fourth levels of paqo practice.

This class goes beyond yachay/information. It also will be llank’ay/experiential. Bring your misha to class and we will work both with the closed bundle and with a few of the khuyas inside it. If you don’t have a misha, you can prepare to create one by bringing a cloth and a few sacred objects/stones to class to prepare them to become part of your misha. Join us to deepen your connection with your misha.

You must have completed the Foundation Training to take a deep-dive advanced class. For more information about a class or to register for a class, please email Joan at QentiWasi@gmail.com.  

What past participants have said about the various deep-dive classes:

The Willka class was extraordinary. I highly recommend it, and the fascinating and powerful practice we did for working with a specific problem. We received a simple yet sophisticated tool for dealing with deep hucha.” —B.W.

“I still get excited about new offerings because of Joan’s willingness to share everything she has learned through her many years study. Joan’s Quechua Terminology and Driving the Kawsay deep-dive classes are great explorations after her Foundation and Master class series. Every class by Joan includes a very generous amount of information and is priced well below what I would consider the actual value for the knowledge shared. If you are curious what you could learn from her many decades of study of this path, then take all of her classes!  She is a sweet, brilliant teacher.”  —C.B.   

The Despacho Deep-Dive Class . . . I have been doing despachos in a haphazard way for three years (though of course through the best of intentions) but with this class, I now have direction, a deeper sense of where to go with them, and for exactly what purpose, and why. Thank you so much, Joan. I feel like I have a map.  —C.M. 

“I recently took Joan’s Holy Relationships class and I am so glad I did! The class was amazing! Joan is always so honest, organized, and thoughtful. You can tell that she has put a lot of time into thinking about and developing the class. This class really put many Andean concepts together for me and I feel like I now have a map to use to help me further develop my own relationships. I highly recommend the class if you are looking to understand the energy dynamics of relationships and to further your understanding of Andean practices and how they can be applied to your own life.”    —K.F.     

“I loved the Quechua Terminology class! My understanding deepened thoroughly. Learning also about words within words brought a broader meaning to these terms of power. Learning about the Kutiy Incantation and using it in two ways—especially for soul retrieval—was an eye opener for me, another fantastic tool for my practice.”    —I. M.                                 

“In the Driving the Kawsay class, Joan clearly explains why your intention and awareness are key, as well as how to use your Inka Seed as a compass. Joan taught a wonderful technique to push the kawsay [energy] and I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to understand how to [do that]. The Andean Path and Joan’s extraordinary knowledge as a teacher have been a godsend.  Awesome class!  Extremely valuable information.”  —A. H.

“The Holy Relationships course exceeded all my expectations. I feel I just received the most important teaching I have ever received in my life. It will allow to become a more flourishing version of myself and through my interactions with others plant seeds. Your deep experience with the subject shined through your teaching and the energetic work at the end brought this to a place of taking action. I am very honored and blessed.”  —S. R.

“Fascinating insight and direction in creating a haywaryikuy/despacho, offering to the spirit beings in ayni/sacred reciprocity, and using personal artistry and intention. I especially enjoyed learning about working with different mast’ay/structures and hearing stories of specific despachos from Joan’s long personal experience. [From the despacho deep-dive class] I feel I have gained a great grounding to make my own successful offerings and feel well-prepared for future visits to Peru.”  —K. B.

“The Driving the Kawsay class was extremely valuable. Learning profoundly about reality, our own influence and what we personally are responsible for or not was opening up perspectives, as always in Joan’s classes. What it means to really drive the kawsay became so clear. I loved the firsthand experience examples as they make it so easy to understand the teachings on a “live” level. Thank you so much, Joan!”  —I. M. 

Inner Tawantin: Reducing Hucha, Increasing Sami

Once we are trained in the ways of Andean mysticism, we know how to release and transform our hucha. But how and why do we create hucha in the first place? In this four-part seminar, co-taught by Joan Parisi Wilcox and Christina Allen, we will take a deep dive into the tawantin of the self through the lens of both Andean mysticism and the psychology of Carl Jung in order to stop creating so much hucha, know ourselves better, and live more fully from our Inka Seed. 

The seminar is comprised of four classes, with the classes spaced out every two months over the course of the year. Each class focuses on a single aspect of our inner tawantin, as overviewed below:  

Class 1: The Persona    The persona is the you who wears many masks, molds the self to others’ expectations, is living a series of stories rather than truths, and is generally a self-created fiction. But it is a fiction with a purpose. Those purposes are usually fueled by fears, anxieties, feelings of being less than, unexplored or limiting beliefs, and unrealized or misplaced values. By taking off those masks, reframing those stories, reclaiming your inner truth and getting to know who you are really are, you can free yourself to live a more authentic, sami-filled life.

Class 2: The Shadow    The shadow is the subconscious repository of all the versions of yourself that you keep mostly hidden from yourself. But it also provides the fuel for how you show yourself in the world (your mask, or persona). Within the shadow are neglected, repressed, denied, and abandoned aspects of the self. These are selves that had to be cast aside for myriad reasons: from not expressing parts of yourself because you feel you won’t receive the love and approval you crave to acting in certain ways to meet other people’s or society’s standards. These are the selves that are both heavy and light, both life-draining and life-enhancing. Your demons and your gods/goddesses live in your shadow, and when you free them and integrate them instead of deny or hide them, you unleash yourself and your life energy.

Class 3: Animus/Anima    No matter your actual gender or self-identity, within you lives both a male and female “energy” aspect of the self. How you relate to this inner yanantin/couple directly relates to how you deal with your overall self, such that you may be living only half of your potential. Your inner animus (masculine) and anima (feminine) together are the true self rather than the image you project to the world, and their interaction within the self affects your relationships with others, especially your closest and most intimate relationships. When you can reconcile your animus and anima, even reaching a royal marriage within, you will cease giving away parts of yourself or asking your partner to complete you, showing up instead as who you really are (kanay). You will feel the transformation from a partial self to a more fully whole self, and you will experience the affirming reverberations in all your relationships.

Class 4: The Self    When you do the work of the first three sessions, you will be able to more clearly, cleanly, fully, and joyously express the entirety of yourself. You are a Drop of the Mystery, and there never has been, is not now, and never will be anyone like you. When you know who you really are and can claim ownership of the whole Self, then you have refined your kanay and can bring yourself into the world with personal truth, freedom, and passion. Through the Self, you unite both your personal human beingness and your transpersonal divine beingness. 

Our work in this series is based on skillfully developing and using self-inquiry strategies and shadow work as well as our paqo skills to transform the hucha we find within ourselves and to prevent ourselves from continuing to create it. There will be substantial pre-work (where you will probe into your conscious and unconscious self at home before each class), so this course requires a commitment of time and energy. The classes will be both informational and experiential, using Andean energy work to release hucha and deepen the integration of each aspect of the self. There is also partner work (with another class participant) between class meetings. 

Cost, Dates, and Times
The cost of the course is a single nonrefundable payment of $300 USD. Payment is through Paypal. 

There are two seminar options to choose from in 2024, one group meeting on Sundays or one group meeting on Wednesdays on the following dates:

What past participants have said about the Inner Tawantin seminar:

“I am . . . expressing my gratitude and appreciation for the Inner Tawantin course. The handouts and recordings will be revisited many times for further enlightenment about why I am what I am and why I relate to other people as I do. I’ve had my share of psychotherapy, and I can honestly say that this course was more revealing, more useful, and certainly more affordable. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants a deeper insight into the self and who wants to improve relationships.” —M. F.

“I highly recommend the Inner Tawantin class with Joan and Christina. I have been dancing with my shadow throughout my spiritual journey and this class finally gave me both an overall organizing framework (Carl Jung and Andean mysticism) as well as creative tools for deep self-inquiry and shadow work. I gained invaluable insights to stop creating hucha and be at peace with myself and others. Joan and Christina are each amazing teachers and together a dynamic duo.  They created a safe, open group experience for questions and discussion.  Plus, the partner approach between classes was fantastic to explore and prepare for each session.  My deepest gratitude to Joan and Christina for this transformational experience to know myself better and live more fully!”  —B.B. 

“The four-part series “Inner Tawantin” was a powerful continuation of exploration and evolution of the self. It was a privilege to have both Christina Allen and Joan Parisi Wilcox as teachers. Both are amazingly brilliant, wise, insightful, and compassionate. I found that the prework given before each class nudged me to dive deeper into the theme of the class and then allowed me to have profound insights during the guided exercises. The class gave me new tools to navigate this world through the direction of my higher self, my Inca seed, rather than creating hucha by sourcing from old wounds and negative voices. It is as if a veil has been removed and I can clearly sense so much more now, knowing the beauty in myself and all around me. It has truly made a tremendous difference! This is an excellent class to take again!” —K.V.

Paqo Practice Ayllus

Once you learn the Andean mystical tradition, the challenge is to actually live it. It’s all well and good to know how to reduce hucha and increase sami, but how do you put the practices into use moment to moment, day after day, in your life? How can you best use your practices and energy techniques not only to meet the challenges of “real life” but also to thrive no matter what is happening locally, nationally, or globally? Many people find that they can more easily stay on track in their practice and their life when they have the support and assistance of an experienced mentor and a close community. That’s why long-time practitioners Joan Parisi Wilcox and Christina Allen have gathered fellow paqos into Paqo Practice Ayllus: groups of dedicated practitioners who want private “community” time to discuss personal issues that are coming up and challenges they are facing and wondering what the best way to apply the Andean energy techniques are to resolve these challenges. Plus, participants are free to ask about any topic of interest in the Andean mystical realm to deepen their knowledge. These Paqo Practice groups are fueled by participants’ questions, which they email to Joan and Christina before each class. Plus, Joan and Christina lead participants through energy work during each class. If you are looking for a dedicated, heart-centered community of fully trained paqos, then a Paqo Practice Ayllu might be for you. (Please note, you must have completed the three-month Foundation Training with Joan Parisi Wilcox, Christina Allen, don Juan Nuñez del Prado or another teacher trained by him/them to participate in a Paqo Practice Ayllu.)

There are two Paqo Practice Groups: a “new” group for people joining a Paqo Practice Ayllu for the first time and an ongoing Paqo Practice Ayllu for those who have participated for six or more months. Joan and Christina ask for a commitment of six months, with the option for new members of continuing for another six months by moving into/merging with the ongoing group. An audio file of each class is sent to each member after each meeting, so those who can’t make a meeting can still benefit from it.

Cost, Dates, and Times
All meetings are held on Mondays. Each meeting is an hour and a half long, from 2 pm – 3:30 pm Eastern time US. 

The fee for six months is a single nonrefundable payment of $190 USD. Payment is through Paypal.

The new Paqo Practice Ayllu will begin on Monday, January 15, and meet once a month for the next five months on the following dates: February 19, March 18, April 22, May 20, and June 24. The registration deadline for this new group is December 16, 2023.

Hampi Yachay Seminar  

Hampi Yachay (Healing Knowledge) is a four-part seminar for energy workers or for those who dream someday of starting an energy-work practice. And it’s not your standard training program! This seminar is not wholly Andean based, although some of the practices will be from the Andean mystical tradition. It is not so much about learning new techniques and practicing them (although you likely will learn some new
ways to practice), but is a deep-dive into your Inka Seed and who you are as an energy worker. And then the major focus is on how you can maximize the effectiveness of your energy work no matter which techniques you use. You will find the learning experience of this series of four class adds up to part business and marketing school, part inspiration for finding your true calling in service to others, and part energy-work practice. Most importantly, everything discussed in this seminar adds up to an exploration of the movement from third-level and fourth-level healing to fifth-level healing, the level of the tukuy hampeq, the total healer. 

There are subjects covered in this seminar that you are unlikely to find elsewhere in an energy-healing seminar, including looking at how and why most energy-worker websites are poorly done and so are ineffective at drawing clients, what kind of legal and regulatory factors may impact your practice and how you run it, how supraliminal priming of your clients can start the healing process before you even work on them, why working first with the client’s body and  nervous system can maximize the impact of your energy work, how to tune energy and use each tuning, how to make guided imagery and visualization a deep and insightful opening to healing insight and strategies, what the movement from fourth-level healing to fifth-level healing involves and why you as a chunpi paqo are especially suited to make the leap to the fifth-level, and so much more. My focus is both to show you how to absolutely maximize your healing impact, which starts well before you begin the actual energy work on a client, and how to maximize your own development as an energy worker. 

In addition to our four classes, I provide participants a mini-library of more than seventy pages of documents that cover a wide range of topics: website considerations that go beyond information to subconsciously prime your clients toward healing and toward choosing you as their energy worker; how your office or treatment room is not just an office or treatment room but also a source of priming toward healing; how the kinds of forms you design matter and can actually help you shape your energy-work sessions; what “narrative medicine” has to tell us about successfully using guided imagery and visualization, including techniques and prompts; techniques for tuning your clients’ physical bodies so they will flow energy during a healing session more effectively and impactfully, what a few core scientific studies of energy healing have to tell us about what works and what doesn’t; how to tune energy, especially tawantin energy, and use it; which ñawis to work and in what order for specific kinds of clients; comprehensive energy-work protocols including calling in your own helper spirits and helping clients to call in theirs; various techniques for soul retrieval; how a fifth-level healer likely works energy differently from other levels of healing, and on and on. 

Cost, Dates, and Times
We meet once a month for four months on a Saturday. The classes are three hours (1 pm – 4 pm Eastern time), although depending on the depth of class discussion we may go longer. For 2024, our meeting dates are August 10, September 14, October 5, and November 2. If you cannot be with us live, I provide an audio file of each class (for your private and personal use only) so that you can learn and catch up. 

The cost of the seminar is a single nonrefundable payment of $360. Registration ends July 8, 2024.

What past participants have said about the Hampi Yachay seminar:

“I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed this class.  It blew me away! It was beyond my expectations, and you helped me make that jump to a higher frequency so that I could pass it on to others.  I’m so grateful.  It was amazing.  Thank you!”    —A. H.

“This was a practical, inspiring, and ideas-packed course honed from Joan’s great insight and experience. Her great knowledge, enthusiasm and honest, charismatic delivery make for a wonderfully rich and enjoyable class experience. Highly recommended!”   —N.H.

“Wonderful [seminar] that combines the mundane practical with the magic of the Andean teachings. The class is very thorough and information-rich, giving me a lot to further explore and bring into my practice. It was very deep and wide—a bridge in concretizing the energy into form.”   —V.H.
