For the first time ever, the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition Apprenticeship Series is being offered in Australia!

It is with deepest humility and gratitude that the Lodge of the People would like to announce that Daniel will be teaching a Pachakuti Mesa Apprenticeship series in Australia! This is the first time this apprenticeship series will be offered in the sacred land Down Under. The series will be offered differently than it has in the past, held in two week-long workshops in 2017, not far from the capital city of Canberra. Take a look below for more details. 

Prepare to experience a powerful Apprenticeship in the Shamanic Arts . . .

The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition (PMT) Apprenticeship series being offered in Australia will be a two-week series of intensives based out of Silver Wattle Quaker Centre in beautiful Bungendore, New South Wales. Located on the western side of Weereewa (Lake George), Silver Wattle covers 42 hectares (104 acres) of wooded hills and alluvial slopes, with another 1052 hectares (2600 acres) of land extending to the north and east. This is a prime space to engage with Mother Nature for facilitating a once-in-a-lifetime experience of transformation!

​

The PMT Apprenticeship series, originated by world-renowned kamasqa curandero don Oscar Miro-Quesada, is designed to train participants into building and utilizing their own mesas: a shamanic altar that facilitates healing on a personal and planetary scale. More than that, it takes one through shamanic initiatory processes that enact transformative potential within each individual. The PMT, like alchemy, is built upon a framework of ritual whose sole purpose is turning one's "lead" into "gold," promoting a path forward for one's soul growth and evolution. In essence, the PMT Apprenticeship series produces shamanic adepts who live fulfilling lives in service to Pachamama (Mother Earth) and their fellow humanity.

​

The format . . .

As stated above, the PMT Apprenticeship series will be divided into two week-long intensives split a couple months apart. Each week will include five days of comprehesnive and acelerated teachings facilitated by Daniel Moler, through both didactic and experiential learning techniques. Partcipants will be learning inside of a ceremonial lodge space, with their own mesas on hand, including various outside activities as well. Each week will include the following:
