Spirit of the Inca
Spirit of the Inca is a school of energy medicine founded by Chris Waters. The school follows the tradition of the Q’ero, of the high Andes in Peru’s Sacred Valley, and shares these teachings through an annual Medicine Wheel shamanic practitioner training programme, and a range of classes from online courses open to all, to masterclasses for practitioners, and our annual sacred journey to Peru. In these podcasts, we will be sharing tools, techniques, skills, and the wisdom of this tradition so that the practices and principles can be woven into your life to help bring balance, harmony, and what the Q’ero call ‘Ayni’ or right relationship with ourselves, all those we share our lives with, and the natural wood around us. We love to make good connections and to be of service, so please feel welcome to connect with us via our website, Instagram, Facebook, our newsletter, or our Podcast! Or call us or drop us a line - all the ways to do this are via our Linktree (https://linktr.ee/spiritoftheinca). And of course we would love to see you at one of our online classes, to welcome you to our Medicine Wheel training, or to walk with you in Peru. We hope you’ll join us!
