energy workers; anyone interested in increasing personal power, consciousness, perception and the ability to manage energy. The Art of the Chunpi Paqo has always been considered a special skill by the Andean Practitioners in the Q’ero (Inka) communities. According to the stories told to Juan’s father, when none of the indigenous healers were able to restore health to a sick person, the Chunpi Paqo was summoned to perform his energy belt rituals and the person was healed. Valerie was initiated in 1999 by Juan Nunez del Prado, who is possibly the only practicing Chunpi Paqo in the Andes today. Juan was the only white man ever to be invited to be a student in the Q’ero mystical training school of Don Andreas Espinosa, one of the most prominent Q’ero Masters in recent history. Juan ‘recovered’ and is now the ‘keeper’ of this ancient practice; he is the Master who initiated all who keep alive the healing art today. Prerequisite: Introduction to Andean Mysticism or any equivalent course by Valerie, Stephen, Juan Nunez del Prado or Elizabeth Jenkins |
