Many Mama K’epi’s, One Heart

WELCOME TO ALL NEW STUDENTS as we begin a new GPS First YEAR-LONG cycle together. WE OFFER the SATURDAY CLASS for first year GPS students. DURING OUR FIRST YEAR TOGETHER YOU WILL BECOME A CHAKA-RUNA, A HUMAN BRIDGE TO NATURE. You will learn to perceive and direct the Kausay Pacha, World of Living Energies, and RE-SACRALIZE YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO NATURE through offerings and pilgrimage to your local Nature Beings known as your RUAL. Your Rual are your twelve LOCAL NATURE BEINGS who will become your intimate companions and power sources as you follow the Q’ero Ch’uya, the pure Q’ero tradition, on how to 1) Create Hiwariquy, sacred offerings or “despachos” 2) perform your WAHARIQUY, sacred invocations to call your Apus, Ñustas & Pachamama and 3) Formulate your Misha or Mama K’epi (Mother Bundle) that becomes the Power Bundle for your healing work. You will become intimately connected with all your surrounding Nature Beings as we follow traditional Q’ero teachings, learning to recognize the RIGHT, LEFT, and CHAUPI Powers in Nature that will become manifest in your MISHA. Our TWELVE Q’ERO MASTERS will be with us every step of the way, as they teach us how to ally the twelve local Nature Beings of our home environments. In authentic Q’ero style we begin with our local Itu Apu (Nature Dad) and Paqarina (Nature Mom), then choose an additional ten local nature beings and make one pilgrimage each week, to the home of that Nature Being. Please make sure you have the time to devote at least 4 hours to your ceremonial pilgrimage every other week, and at least one hour to your Paqo learning pod, outside of class time. You will learn how to offer to your Nature Beings, how to call them, and how to request and receive a Khuya for your Misha. You will learn how to empower your Khuya and use it to strengthen the bond between you and your Nature Being Family. By the end of the second 12 week session you could have a complete Misha to work with for healing and ceremonial use. Photos of our Local Nature Beings and our glorious offerings to them, will be shared on our own special WhatsApp Chat Group.

ALL CLASSES MUST BE ATTENDED LIVE AND IN PERSON ON ZOOM EACH WEEK! NO RECORDINGS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

TESTIMONIALS

“The yearlong training with the Global Paqo School is an opportunity of a lifetime. As a longtime student and Paqo on the Andean path, the experience was truly exceptional. What sets Elizabeth Jenkins and the Global Paqo School apart is the direct teaching from the Qero themselves via an exceptional translator. As students, we drank directly from the well of knowledge of the Qero masters and the yearlong course allowed me to deeply integrate the teachings and practices into my everyday life. I have a profound, deep, rich connection with supreme Mother Nature, the Apus and Ñustas and my life is filled with their generous wisdom, nectar and healing forces. I also appreciate the awareness of issues regarding cultural appropriation as we “westerners” learn and incorporate the wisdom of the Qero masters; an ongoing learning and conversation rooted in Ayni, Munay, respect and humility”.

—Mary Christa Smith, Executive Director, Communities That Care

“Taking Elizabeth’s Mama K’epi (first 12 week session of GPS) class was one of the most important teachings I have ever received.  Through weekly pilgrimages making offerings to get to know the nature beings around me, I feel forever changed and so much more deeply supported. This embodied practice in a small group setting shifted my intellectual understanding of the importance of right relationship into a visceral knowing that will always be with me.  The teaching that our connection with our nature parents is essential to have the life force to continue feels true and I feel so blessed to go to them with more gratitude and ask for more support when I need it, knowing they are there.  Thank you Elizabeth! If you are feeling called to this class, I encourage you to trust yourself and go for it!”

—Rochelle Schieck, New York, Founder of QOYA 

“To have the opportunity to learn directly from the Qero teachers in such an intimate way with the guidance of Elizabeth's deep wisdom and respect has been a dream come true for me. Engaging weekly has kept me focused and brought me so much clarity and balance, opening in me the deepening engagement with nature that I have yearned for all of my life.”

—Denise Attwood,
co-founder Ganesh Himal Trading & Conscious Connections Foundation

“The yearlong course helped to deepen my understanding of the Andean Worldview. This in turn strengthened my relationship with my Nature Beings and reignited gifts that had been dormant. I am so grateful to Elizabeth, Fredy, and all the amazing Paqos for their time, wisdom, and teachings. It is an honor to be a part of this Ayllu.”

—Kim Spoor, Ph.D., Duluth, Minnesota

”GPS is an incredible opportunity to sit down with Q’ero elders and healers every week and learn from their traditions and wisdom. It has empowered me to live connected to all living energy around me, and given me hope and inspiration. I love that taking this class helps strengthen their culture as well, it creates great reciprocity. It is a magical experience and the process and practical applications will change your life and the planet!”

—Saskia Peck, Acupuncturist, Haida Gwaii, Canada

“The Qawaq training program has depened my relationship with nature and the nature beings in a profound and loving way that I never experienced before despite my 18 years walking the shamanic path. The simplicity of creating personal relationships with the world of living energy and the easiness of how the teachings can be implemented in my surroundings and culture is amazing. I have no doubt, that the Q’ero teachings is what the World needs today to heal and grow a higher consiousness. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn from this tradition and the wonderful people holding it with such love and grace.  With all my love,”

—Rikke Agersted, Denmark

“My experience with GPS, Elizabeth Jenkins, and the beloved Paqo teachers of the school has been exceptional. The authenticity of the teachings returns me to a place of truth where I feel better able to access my own connection to nature and to live harmoniously within the laws of nature. I also appreciate the support of classmates in the group, and the beautiful blendings of energies we experience together.

—Rachel Doherty, MA, CAGS, LMT, Bourne, MA

“The year long class with the Q’ero teachers, Elizabeth and Freddy has be more than words could explain. My understanding of the Andean traditions through this year long course has allowed me to tap even more deeper with my abilities and gifts, it has allowed me to feel more connected to my ancestors and nature beings, it has allowed me to heal on a deeper level. The things I have seen change in my life are deeper awarenesses with myself, abundance in my life has been more prosperous, the healing work has helped me heal a lot of my past traumas, and the connection has increased to a very deep level to the other worlds.”

—Erica M., Concord, CA

“I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible learning and healing I have received on this course. I feel my work with the nature beings has reached a new level of depth.  Elizabeth is an amazingly warm hearted and wise teacher and the interaction with my class mates had been wonderful and so helpful to me. I highly recommend this course!”

—Becky T., Wales

“I felt like a nervous 'newbie' on the course, but soon discovered my worries were totally unfounded. This course gave me an in-depth grounding into many aspects of the tradition, as well as the end result of creating my own Mama Ke'pi. The commitment to making a Haywariquy and pilgrimage each week to connect with a local nature being helped me to focus on what it means to be a Paqo. The zoom meetings became a highlight of my week, as the support of the other Paqos was both nourishing and insightful. Elizabeths’ holding of space together with her wisdom , vibrancy and humour were incredible. My confidence in connecting with nature beings and my knowledge of the Mama K'epi has grown immensely, as has my understanding of and love for, this living tradition. This course became a real source of courage and life changing inspiration for me during a very personally challenging time.  With deep gratitude to Elizabeth, the Qero and the amazing Paqo participants.

—Nessa D., England
