ENERGETIC HEALING RETREAT
Awakening the Living Intelligence of Energy
Step into an immersive journey rooted in the ancient energetic traditions of the Andes, where healing is understood as a relationship—between self, spirit, nature, and the unseen forces that animate life.
In this retreat, you will be guided into direct experience with three foundational healing energies: K’anchay (luminous, radiant light), Kawsay (viatl life force), and Sami (animating essence). Through grounded instruction and experiential practice, you’ll learn how to sense, cultivate, and work with these energies to support healing across the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of your being.
We will also enter into ceremonial relationship with the elemental forces - Allpa (earth), Unu (water), Wayra (wind), and Nina (fire) - engaging them as living allies in ritual space. These elements serve as powerful gateways for release, renewal, and transformation, helping you restore balance within yourself while deepening your connection to the natural world.
This retreat is designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you are new to energy work or have an established practice, the experience is both accessible and profound—blending practical tools with meaningful ceremony. Expect a balance of learning, reflection, and integration in a supportive and grounded environment.
You will leave with not only a deeper understanding of Andean energetic principles, but also with tangible practices you can carry into daily life—tools to regulate your energy, reconnect with your inner clarity, and engage the world from a place of presence and vitality.
This is an invitation to return to what is already alive within you—and to remember how to work with it.
ENVIRONMENTS CONDUCIVE TO HEALING
Step away from your everyday routine, and slow your stride to a ceremonial pace... to the pace of nature itself. Let the whole of you catch up. Call back the parts of you that are sprinting forward. Wait patiently for the parts of you lagging behind. Move at a pace where every part of you can walk together. This is the pace of ceremonial movement.
THIS IS AN APPRENTICESHIP IN THE OLD WAYS
Ancient forms of ceremonial apprenticeship have always been maintained and passed down through direct experience, inside a well-crafted ceremonial container. There are certain things that can only be conveyed through transmission with ceremonial language, and its layered assortment of symbolic forms of communication. Ancient forms of wisdom were transmitted with all of the senses... weaving sacred teachings together into a sacred luminous tapestry of life. These ceremonies were designed to move us into a crescendo that opens a window to view the truths of life directly. From this place of deeper clarity and insight, one can make their own assessments and interpretations of the truth, bypassing their need to be dependent on another person to have a direct encounter with divinity.
MEET OUR FACILITATOR
Mateo Magee has been serving communities as a spiritual teacher, guide, and expedition leader since 1998. His book Peruvian Shamanism: The Pachakuti Mesa was the first written account of a lineage that spans thousands of years, bridging the Northern Coastal Huachumero and Southeastern Andean Paqokuna traditions of Peru.
Though he holds multiple university degrees, Mateo regards his true education as having come from decades of immersive living and apprenticeship with traditional Indigenous communities across North and South America.
With 27 years of dedicated study in the Peruvian systems of curanderismo, his current work explores the power of receptivity in nature, stillness within movement, and the profound teachings found in silence and solitude.
One of Mateo’s core gifts lies in his ability to be a student at all times. This mindset allows him to make complex and often elusive spiritual principles both accessible and deeply relatable to his students. His inclusive teaching style fosters a safe, expansive spaces where every soul can stretch out in, evolve, and ultimately find their way home.
OUR RETREAT CENTER AND CEREMONIAL SPACE
The property is on 10 acres of forest-covered hills, the ecological “gem” of which is a living spring that feeds the local creek, and is home to crawfish, turtles, snakes, fish and more. Other wildlife on the property include deer, armadillo, red fox, snakes, a number of birds, and insects who pass through the land on their annual migration. This spring has been continuously occupied for thousands of years, and features the archeological remains of many tribal peoples, most recently the Apache. These lands have a long history of traditional ceremonial work.
The temple is a dodecagonal maloka with a 36’ diameter, loosely styled after the Munay Sonqo maloka in Peru’s Sacred Valley. It features a beautiful spiraled roof design centered over a selenite altar.
