Starseed Peru Adventure 2025 by the Numbers

What the photos don’t say about Starseed Peru Adventure —but we remember.

• 6 miles/day on average by foot —through temples, terraces, and time
• 150+ vertical steps climbed to reach platform views from Ollantaytambo to the cave of Choquekilla, the Golden Moon, known in Spanish as Ñaupa Iglesia. From its entrance, the sun cast a golden glow across the mountain range before us.
• Descent from Sacsayhuamán into San Blas—stone stairs winding into whitewashed alleyways and artisan courtyards
• 2 weddings, 1 proposal—love witnessed by sacred stone
• 20+ Cara Cara falcons (Mexican Eagles) swirling overhead as we gathered in ceremony
• 2 Lightning Masters encountered—keepers of cosmic fire and ancestral strike
• 4 Quarpay initiations—received in lineage from the Apaza family
• 2 Blossom clearings—gentle releases into renewal
• 1 Coca Leaf Reading—ancestral guidance through sacred leaves

🧭 Sacred Encounters within Starseed Peru Adventure

We sat with Mamita María Apaza, a 100-year-old Altomisayoc from the Chumpi Paqo tradition of the Quico community. Her presence was a living bridge to the ancient cosmology of the Andes. Four of us received Quarpay initiations from her son, Manuel Apaza, a Pampamisayoc—a moment of profound transmission.

At lunch, we were joined by Wak’a Kamayuq, a descendant of the Huallpa lineage. Struck four times by lightning as a 2-year old child alongside his mother in Kiñua Pata, Quisinsaya, he shared how lightning is perceived not as trauma, but as initiation. His presence was quiet, luminous, and deeply felt.

🏔️ Ceremonial Immersion within Starseed Peru Adventure

We were introduced to the Apus—mountain spirits named and revered. Through native-led ceremony, we acclimated not just to altitude, but to the Quechua understanding of the expression of: water, wind, stone, and inner memory.

A Journey Beyond Peru
As our Starseed Peru Adventure continues to unfold, many of you have asked about the broader currents of starseed remembrance woven through my work.
