10/3/16 

This is a reminder that our 2nd annual auction ends tonight at 6:30 pm 
PST.
You can view the auction on the lower half of our homepage (

It seems unlikely that we will be leading an expedition with a group to 
the Andes in 2017 (we'll most likely return for solo research.)
However our compadre and co-leader on our various past trips, Matt Magee, 
is planning a special journey to Peru this May along with anthropologist 
Bonnie Glass-Coffin. You are invited to join them, see below.
regards,
Ben








Sacred Valley Retreat with Mateo Magee
May 16th - 26th, 2017 
The focus of this trip is sacred pilgrimage, with equal importance placed 
on both the inner and outer journey experience. In other words, 
self-discovery, personal inquiry, and inner transformation will all be 
fostered while directly communing with some of the most sacred and 
beautiful ceremonial sites ever constructed by humankind. Every day on 
this pilgrimage will be an opportunity to deepen one’s awareness and 
receptivity to the abundant grace available in every moment.
This retreat pilgrimage is the culmination of my nearly two decades of 
extensive travel in the Sacred Valley of Peru.  It is the by product of my 
cultivated, heartfelt relationships with local healers and residents of 
this region since 1998. The auspicious formation of this retreat 
pilgrimage has been truly extraordinary.
Not only will these connections allow us access to amenities commonly 
unavailable to tourists, the guides that will be present on this retreat 
are literally the world’s leading experts in the field.  In addition to my 
own extensive background in the shamanic traditions of Peru, we will be 
joined by Dr. Bonnie Glass-Coffin Ph.D. (expert in female shamanism of 
Peru’s northern coast) for the full duration of the trip.  In addition, we 
will be learning directly from master weaver Grimalda Quispe of Chinchero 
to witness the ancient back loom techniques and practice known as Pallay, 
as well as the wisdom of Qero ceremonialist don Augustine Machacca Apaza, 
who will be journeying with us for the majority of the retreat.
