1999 Goddess Gathering Retrospective
by Lydia Ruyle, author "Goddess Icons Spirit Banners of the Divine Feminine"

Excerpt: "Pachamama is the Earth Mother of the Andes of South America, the Ancient Ones say that the feminine divine spirit of the Andes is calling at the end of the 20th Century. It's time to honor and revere Pachamama. The Ancient Mothers called and gave me the energy and the gift to manifest an exhibition of Pachamama & the Goddesses of the World at Machu Picchu in 1999. This is their story."

2002 Memoirs of Peru
A Body and Soul Adventure by Michele

Excerpt: In September 2002, I experienced Peru for 11 days. In truth, the experience started the years before I’d see pictures of Machu Picchu, and wonder if I would ever see it or know its secrets. The search for the right group to visit Peru with, the funding of the trip, the learning of the religions and energy of Peru were all foundational to actually being there. The Journey started in 1998 and continues through today. Initially after my return from my 2002 trip to Peru, I was feeling both good to be back and sad because I’ve left Peru and some new good friends behind. It was a very special trip, mostly for my spirit, and also a great challenge for my body. I saw poverty in people and landscape as well as the most beautiful mountains and temples and people in both outside visual ways as well as in internal ways of spirit. I am going to try and sort out these in my stories of Peru.

2001 Memoirs of Peru

"I definitely want to go back to Peru on one of your trips!
It was such a wonderful experience."
- Peggy S.

"John Steinbeck once wrote that he "liked to let a trip take him." For years that has been my modus operandi. As one who has shunned organized trips (travelling with groups) I was so totally delighted with the feeling of serendipity with which you managed our tour. You get an A+ and a gold Medal! Splendid job, I'd travel in one of your groups any day. The flexibility was such a relief! Having traveled quite a bit, I do feel that this was one of the most important and life-altering trips I've enjoyed. You're right, it is still continuing ... my dreams have been very fulfilling, and informative. Much appreciation to you for assisting in my most recent transformation."
- Lynn V.G. Sept. 2001

"There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of our magical Peruvian journey together. The light cross is a divine interaction of what the power of prayer and love can do. I have found that my meditations and walks through the forest have taken me farther into the Universe for observation and confirmation. And Inca crosses abound everywhere! Some days I just have to cry from the shear magnitude of it all. My connection with Spirit has grown by leaps and bounds, and continues to work through the heart center called Love. If it were not for your Goddess Gathering there would be no story to tell." - Annette E. Sept. 2001

Leisurely picnic on the high plateau, Marcahuasi.

"I'm still feeling such a strong connection to Marcahuasi and have noticed great changes in my energetic field, everywhere I go people comment on it. They say I am glowing! I believe I have a permanent soul connection to this place, and when moved to do so I have consciously shared whatever energetics I've brought back with me. Many of the people who've crossed my path have been expressing their fear, pain, illnesses, and loneliness, and it is with them I am moved to send the loving energy I experienced in Marcahuasi. Thank you again." - Sheryl W. October 2001


The HAPPY FEET Program!



Shoe Donations for the kids of San Pedro de Casta

We have been supporting the children of this remote Andean Village in various ways for the past few years. San Pedro de Casta is a village at 10,000 feet with a beautiful school and very few books. The children help their parents tend the agricultural terraces surrounding the village, but have no shoes. San Pedro de Casta is populated by dignified, hard working farmers; almost anything sent to them is very useful and they are kind and grateful in accepting these things. We will be traveling to the village again soon and will be taking donated shoes, boots, and school supplies for the children.

If you would like to participate in the program, please contact us.
