During the Sacred Ceremony, the Master prays with three Coca leaves (Kintu) that Mother Earth gave to us and to the Apus (Great Mountain Spirits). The shamanic healer also uses items like candy, colored wools, myrrh, frankincense, tallow and a variety of foods and herbs that Andean people called “reach or dispatch“. These items have to be specifically prepared for the offering by the Master or Andean Priest, who is also called «Paqos». Each element has its spiritual meaning andis therefore part of the ceremony. The session ends with a last prayer to the world and to our life. The online course will be transmitted via Zoom. The offering to Pachamama (Mother Earth) allows us to give thanks to everything we have been receiving and appreciate her generosity, creating a feeling of harmony and deep connection with nature, letting her know that we feel unconditional love for Mother Earth and the spirits within us.

I belong to a family of artists, most of them musicians. Raul Pereira, my father, was founder and singer of “El Polen” (the Pollen), pioneer musical band in the fusion of Psychedelic Rock with rhythms and sounds of Andean and Peruvian Afro Music. That’s why my interest in innovation in modern music and for the spirit of traditional music, its rhythms, its history and its wonderful range of instruments. Throughout my career, my passion for music has led me to investigate different fields like body percussion, construction of recycled instruments, musical theory and sound ensemble. Fields that I have been developing through practice, participating in artistic and educational projects. In recent years I have been able to be part of a large number of musical projects and bands, such as La Patronal and Viento Paracas.
