About Katy
Our esteemed instructor, Katy, is not just a teacher; she is a dedicated seeker of profound knowledge. What sets this course apart is the promise to not water down any of the material, and to engage in an unwavering commitment of authenticity. While she considers herself to be a “cross pollinator” and synthesizer of the Andean sacred arts, she has remained faithful to the genuine wisdom of her p'aqo teachers. Her more than a decade's long path of seeking sacred knowledge has led her to study with the masters of the high peaks and hidden valleys of the Andes of Peru, where she has learned from several lineages of indigenous and master p'aqo teachers. These revered elders have passed down the sacred teachings of the Andes, preserving their essence for millennia. As you embark on this amazing journey, prepare to be immersed in an unparalleled healing and spiritual experience that captures the true essence of indigenous Andean wisdom. And as Katy follows the path of her own spiritual journey, it is time for her to fulfill her own soul's calling and pass these scared mystical teachings on to you.
