KARPAY INITIATION RETREAT
An exclusive, grounding 8 day retreat, leading us beautifully back into our own deepest heart space, within a safe container of love. These extraordinary teachings allow us to blossom, align, connect to source and feel empowered to walk the path of our highest destiny with humility and grace. There are only 14 spaces.
With Pampamesayok Don Augustine and Santos Machacca Apaza, a paqo from the High Andes, Peru. Also supported by Ali Rabjohns and Ewa Demahina, both practitioners from this tradition.
7 Karpays or initiation rites, deeply heartfelt transmissions of energetic consciousness will be offered around beautiful Avalon, Somerset. This time of emerging consciousness allows us to fully heal ourselves and share that gift with others.
Pampamesayoks source their power and information from the land. The medicine people within the Q’ero nation are known as “paqos,” which means “priest or mystic” in Quechuan, the language of the Inca. Being in the full presence of this ancient wisdom can forever change the way we perceive the world around us. It opens the infinite door into our Llankay (the power of service and body). Yachay (the power of mind, wisdom and knowledge) and Munay (the power of Love, our will power and emotions).
These Karpays are steeped with wisdom and are a wonderful experiential way to embody the secrets of the Andean mystical spiritual path first hand. The retreat will be facilitated by my teacher Pampamesayok Don Augustine and Paqo Santos Machacca Apaza, from the High Andes, Peru.
They will be offering 7 Karpays, or initiation rites. These are deeply heartfelt transmissions of energetic consciousness, offered in and around the beautiful Avalon, Somerset.
The seven Karpays are energy transmissions of the highest order, helping us to prepare for the 'Return of the Inca'. A beautiful and powerful inner alignment and healing process, that helps our human consciousness to blossom into enlightenment. This is known as the Taripay pacha, a period meaning 'The Golden Age of Human Re-union'.
Dates: August 7-16 2020 at the prestigious award winning Earthspirit Centre, nr Glastonbury, UK.

Testimonials for the Karpay retreat 2019 in Sweden.
I Joined TariPayPacha in Sweden 2019. It is hard to describe this experience in words.. I will try.
Sitting with Don Augustine and Santos.. listening and learning in depth the history of the Inca and Pre- Inca times was both heart opening and gave real insight into their lives. Their songs.. their weavings that are directly connected to Life and other dimensions.
Don Augustine is a powerful healer and so is Ewa in her own right. Between them my soul was cleansed and put back together.
Receiving the Karpay’s was beyond my words right now but I feel them. I feel taller stronger... I have a deeper understanding, love and gratitude for all I am learning and living.
Don Augustine.. Santos.. Ewa and Nadjia.. Thank you all so much for this life changing retreat

Karpays
Before we receive each Karpay, Don Augustine gives the explanation of each one. This is a beautiful way to “fall” even deeper in-to the Andean energy shifts and understanding with our hearts. Within Augustin’s tradition there are twelve Karpays, we will receive seven, and the other five is reserved for the indigenous Q’ero.
The first Karpay is The Pampomesayoq (The Earthkeepers’ Rite). You will receive the full transmission and connection with Pachamamma. The intent is to open up for the ability to perform healing work on living things; people, animals and the Earth. We will go through the different offerings we can do for Pachamamma.
Welcoming Despacho – where we also set the intentions and outcome for this week of ours.
A brief explanation about the seven Karpays (this is a transmission or interchange of energy) we will receive during this week (more will be explained before each karpay).
The History of Q’eros - How Don Augustine became a Paqo, his family history and how Santos is now being trained in the family thread.
History and how the Despacho is and has been used in the Q'ero tradition. A Despacho is a prayer bundle or offering it’s used for a wide variety of occasions – births, deaths, as an expression of gratitude, to heal physical and emotional ailments, to restore balance and harmony, or when there is a specific request of the spirit world. We will understand what each item represents and how to feel creative in performing one for ourselves.
Mesa, a prayer bundle, your personal “altar”, containing various power objects and stones used for moving energy in service of healing. The mesa is one of the main tools in the Andean healing tradition.

This retreat was a dynamic, powerful and penetrating experience. Each day included a Karpay/Intiation which opened my heart and mind to a whole different level of consciousness and brought me back into the essential experience of being.
I was plunged to the depths of my body and soul and then elevated to the higher realms of the cosmos. At one time I felt I was caught in the emotional backwash and riptides of the ocean - pain,sadness and grief erupted from every cell of my body to be released and washed away. Everything felt shiny and new - smells, taste and moving my body was at first strange, then I realised how disconnected I had been. I was finally at one with myself and united with the energetic Multiverse.
We had the privilege of meeting Don Augustine and his son Santos who are Q'eros from the Andes near Cusco Peru. Don Augustine is a master working with living energies. His power, knowledge and wisdom shine through his twinkling eyes and his spontaneous laughter. During the 8 days Don Augustine offered personal healings which had a deep and profound effect.
I feel very lucky and humble to have had the opportunity to meet one of the last Q'ero elders to be working in this way. This practice is alive, grounded and very real.
Brightest Blessings
SL, E. Sussex
For me it was fantastic magic to meet the Andean spiritual tradition. It feels like I've found home, found what I've been looking for. So grateful and happy about the initiations. I feel their energies spin in my body. I feel even more at peace of mind and body. The condor (white) is with me and gives me an even greater understanding of my task in this life. I see even more clearly. Have even more understanding in heart. All knowledge needs to be integrated in my heart, in order to be integrated into life. I feel the connection with Peru, Augustin & Santos & the twelve mountains in my heart. I connect with love and the energy flows. The relationship with my mesa has deepened considerably. We're talking.
