Willka Hampiq: an Intermediate-Level Shamanic Intensive Apprenticeship into the Healing Arts [3 weekend intensives over 5 weeks]

Join Amy for Willka Hampiq: a deep dive into the Healing Arts and Animal Allies of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition. Certification is available by application.

Willka Hampiq is a shamanic apprenticeship for those called deeply to the path of healing. It includes intensive practice in the ritual use of the vibrational frequencies of earth, water, air, fire, and ether to harmonize challenges within the body, mind, emotions, spirit, and soul.

Building off your foundational relationship with the elements, the Wilka Hampiq (Sacred Medicine Spirit)

Apprenticeship is an opportunity to expand your capacity as a healer for yourself, your community, and the planet. By forming a personal and active alliance with the tutelary animals and energetic forces of each direction of the Pachakuti Mesa, you will greatly elevate your capacity for healing.

This exceptional hands-on training will include:

  • Quechua Sacred Words

  • Vibrational Music

  • Platonic Solids

  • Elemental Colors

  • Breathing Techniques

  • Shamanic Journeying

  • Exploration of the Cosmovision

  • and more shamanic tools to expand your healing practice

Each session will provide ample time to practice giving and receiving healing work, and experienced mentorship throughout.

The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of shamanism provides a comprehensive understanding of the ritual cosmology and healing use of the sacred powers and forces revered by Andean wisdom-keepers since time immemorial.

Who is it for? These practices are relevant for people from all walks of life who are seeking to maximize their presence as sources of healing light in the world. Working with teachers sanctioned by don Oscar Miro-Quesada and the PMT Lineage, you’ll be apprenticed in time-tested healing arts derived from Peru’s northern coastal kamasqa curandersimo and southeastern highland paqokuna shamanic traditions.

What healing energies will be covered?

  • Kawsay – Earth Energy for Physical Healing

  • Samisonqoy – Water Energy for Emotional Healing

  • K’anchay – Air Energy for Spiritual Healing

  • Samiumay – Fire Energy for Mental Healing

  • Illanunay – Ether Energy for Soul Re-Membering

  • Integration and Elevation – Includes using the Pendulum as a healing tool!

This level of shamanic medicine contribution to the Great Work is needed more than ever in the world, especially given the current alarming level of systemic intensification in prophesied Pachakuti witnessed at a global scale. All said and done, Now is the TIME, and the Time is NOW to emphatically ‘roll up our sleeves,’ or better even, ‘pull out our Ajuar de Artes,’ and lovingly embrace and honor the soul empowering medicine ways of our shamanic ancestors.

You are invited on a sacred journey. . .

Shamanic Apprenticeship 2021-2022
Valley Forge Mountain

This five part initiation into the living heart and ancestral soul of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition is intended to awaken in every participant who completes the program, a remembrance of their incarnational purpose as luminous strands of the Great Web of Life in service to the Seven Generations. 

The apprenticeship is made up of 5 in-person weekend retreats,

shamanic apprenticeship Philadelphia

Through the apprenticeship:

  • you will receive personal healing

  • be guided in the use of time-honored Peruvian shamanic rituals, healing methods, and ceremony

  • learn how to create your own Mesa, a sacred altar for self-exploration, empowerment, and transformation,

  • cultivate your relationship with the unseen world by discovering your personal guide(s) who will help you “re-member” on your new path of expanding possibilities. 

You will leave this apprenticeship with powerful healing tools that you can use for your own soul’s growth and to help your friends, family, pets, mama earth, your clients, or patients.  

No experience in healing work or shamanism is necessary and beginners are encouraged to apply.

“The PMT apprenticeship has changed my life. I view everything with so much more appreciation and awe as well as with a greater sense of personal responsibility. In each of the five weekends over the year, I learned so many things (material, meditations, practical applications and more) and then had the opportunity to go home and integrate it into my life for a few months and then reconvene to do it again. Each weekend, my understanding grew deeper. I wish it didn’t end, but I so appreciate the community I am now a member of and look forward to more classes in the future. My personal and community connections continue to grow through the Wednesday night link ups and other gatherings.

Amy is a powerful and interesting teacher of the material, with an amazing ability to communicate all concepts in a practical way. She teaches with reverence and humility while also exuding love, light and joy. I couldn’t imagine up a more inspirational teacher.”

Shamanism Q&A and FREE Intro to the Pachakuti Mesa Shamanic Tradition

PMT-group-testimonials.jpg

Are you interested in the 5-Part Shamanic Apprenticeship in the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition (PMT) of Cross-Cultural Shamanism?

Do you have questions about the tradition, lineage, what you will get out of it, who the teacher is?

Would you like to hear from people who have already experienced the apprenticeship with me?

Then this 2-hour introduction and Q&A session IS FOR YOU!”

Join me, Amy Mermaid Isakov, sanctioned teacher of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, for a conversation about the apprenticeship.

  • Is it for you?

  • How would participating benefit you?

  • Will becoming a mesa carrier help you to offer healing to yourself, friends and family, and Mother Earth?

  • Are there opportunities to create and participate in earth-honoring ceremonies with like-minded community members?

Bring your questions and curiosity on Sunday, March 14th!

The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition was created by don Oscar Miro Quesada, a Peruvian altomisayoq and northern coastal curandero. don Oscar has woven together the ancestral shamanic teachings received during his lengthy apprenticeships with two Peruvian shamanic lineage traditions. The PMT cosmovision and ritual and ceremonial practices you will learn in the apprenticeship provide a powerful architecture for the unfoldment and remembering of your soul purpose. For more information on the PMT, please visit and enjoy the PMT web page heartofthehealer.org.

Here's the Zoom invitation. The schedule is for 2 hours, but we will end whenever all questions have been answered.

With Amy Mermaid Isakov

FOOD OF THE GODS: The Despacho as Ritual Expression of Gratitude and Reciprocity

Come Learn all about what to feed the unseen world and make a Despacho!

There is so much depth and wisdom in the simple things that will catalyze your relationship with the All… come learn more!

shamanic despacho

Despacho is the Spanish word for a ritual offering made with reverent intention in sacred reciprocity (ayni) for that which has been given to us. This tradition has been passed from don Oscar Miro-Quesada, originator of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition (PMT), to Amy Isakov, Sanctioned Teacher of the PMT.

Similar to the Buddhist sand paintings, these offerings are arranged in a mandala like fashion and then bundled up and offered to the unseen realms.

In order to participate you will need to have:

  • A postage stamp size piece of jerky or other dried animal product

  • A small flower or herb or piece of plant, fresh or dried

  • A tiny crystal or crushed mineral product

  • A tiny flammable human-made object, ideally something you made

  • A piece of incense or an incense stick

  • Consecration ingredients (cornmeal, tobacco, bay leaves, Florida waters)

  • A white piece of paper, no smaller than Letter sized

  • A red string (any color is ok if you can’t find red)

If you have access, please also bring fresh flowers or respectfully gather some fresh offerings such as moss or leaves from the nature around you.

Winter Solstice Ceremony

Winter Solstice Ceremony

Please Join us for a Winter Solstice Despacho Ceremony and Sacred Fire facilitated by Amy Mermaid Isakov.

The winter solstice is the threshold of stillness. It is a profound opportunity to gather in community and slow down, together.

The despacho ceremony, if you've never heard of it, comes from the indigenous people of the Andes, in South America. I was apprenticed in these arts by my teacher, don Oscar Miro-Quesada as well as many people in his community of ritual artists. It is, essentially, a way of making your prayers manifest in this world, through the patterning of all types of offerings, some specific and some not, into a balanced and beautiful mandala, which we then completely turn over to the sacred fire.

Please bring:

  • A blanket to sit on (chairs and back-jacks available)

  • A refillable water bottle

  • An object for the mesa (will return home with you)

  • If you are able wear all black!

POTLUCK DINNER (please bring a dish to share) and Music and Merriment TO FOLLOW

Reciprocity $20 solo or $15 if you bring a friend.

with Amy Mermaid Isakov

“The world of the Pachakuti Mesa carrier is not a world to know, to study, grasp or gain insight into, but a world to live in, to participate in, to be part of, to collectively fashion, make, enhance, and co-create.” - don Oscar Miro-Quesada

The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition (PMT), emphasizes both personal and planetary healing. This practice involves ritual and ceremonial mastery of the mesa as passed down through the lineage of Peruvian curanderos. The mesa is an altar-like arrangement of empowered objects, a shamanic tool which is used to engage enlightened beings and elemental energies for restoration of balance, health and harmony between humans, other dimensions, and our natural world.
