Heart of the Earth Retreat
El corazón de la tierra
6 to 13 february 2026 Retreat in The Sacred Valley, Peru
with Rosy Kantu & Aquario (Erik)
In the mountains of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Cuzco, Peru. Surrounded by beautiful peaceful nature in the Andes we will share with you the sacred space ‘Heart of the Earth’.
7 days to connect deeply with the medicine of the earth, the mountains, fresh air, nature
and deep contact with Andean wisdom and the medicine of Peruvian Cacao.
We are nature, not seperate from Mother Earth.
In this connection we will remember and listen to our true nature
bringing offerings to Pachamama in reciprocity for all that she gives to us.
We’ll visit ancient Inca temples and beautiful sites to receive the deepness and power of these sacred mountains, finding time to rest from fast life of the modern world,
entering into a more calm and peaceful rhythm,
inspired by indigenous families that live in connection with Pachamama.
The medicine of the Amazonian Cacao from Rosy’s family
will help us to connect to our pure heart.
We’ll meet in circles, where you will discover your authentic voice
that is waiting to be expressed.
You will be staying at a beautiful retreat house “Paz y Luz” one hour driving away from Cuzco. Surrounded by beautiful landscapes, gardens, big mountains and peace.
We are looking forward to share and explore
the magic of these ancient lands
with all of you!
with all of you!

Testimonios:
"El retiro Heart of the Earth fue una invitación a recordar…
Recordar la belleza de lo esencial, el pulso vivo de la tierra, la sabiduría que se guarda en los tejidos, las montañas, los rituales y las canciones compartidas con humildad.
Fue una experiencia tejida con amor, en un territorio sagrado que me acogió de una forma bien amorosa. Fue muy lindo sentir como Rosy y Erik, ofrecieron este espacio desde el corazón, con entrega sincera, creatividad y devoción por la tierra que los inspira.
Lo más transformador para mí fue el encuentro con los Apus, las lagunas, y las comunidades que habitan esos paisajes con tanto respeto y dignidad. Poder conocer y compartir con personas hermosas que todavía viven muy conectadas y en relación constante con su entorno, con la naturaleza, fue un regalo que mi alma necesitaba. Recuerdo que en un momento pensé lo bonito que es que a pesar de vivir e un lugar donde la naturaleza es tan hermosa y a la vez dura, porque las condiciones para vivir allí, a más de 3000 metros de altitud, con un clima complicado, las personas son de las que tienen los corazones más cálidos y honrados que he conocido nunca.
Uno de los momentos más significativos para mi fue el despacho en la laguna de Quimsacocha junto al maestro Benito. De entrada poder conocer a un miembro más de la familia Apaza, siendo que he tenido la bendición de poder estudiar algunas de las enseñanzas de la cultura Q’eros, fue una alegría para mi. Poder ver su manera de hacer el despacho, tan hermoso con forma de corazón, su alegría, su cariño, su magia…La conexión con los elementos fue tan tangible que la lluvia se detuvo justo al finalizar la ofrenda… como si el cielo nos bendijera.
También me llegó al corazón la visita a la comunidad de tejedoras de Pumak Wasyn, junto a la laguna de Piuray. Como nos recibieron con sus cantos y tambores, adornándonoslas con los collares de flores de Kantu… al recordar esos momentos aún se me escapa una sonrisa y mucha emoción. Conocer a doña Braulia, su forma sutil, suave y a la vez tan poderosa al hacer la ofrenda a la laguna me dejó en un estado de paz que nunca habia sentido antes. Y poder aprender sobre los tintes naturales y los símbolos tejidos con siglos de memoria viva… me hizo sentir en casa. Fue un portal de conexión profunda entre el cielo, la tierra y el linaje femenino.
Agradezco especialmente la calidez del grupo. Aunque no conocía a nadie, se sintió como una familia, donde el compartir fluyó con naturalidad y cariño. El amor de Rosy por su tierra, su arte y su cultura fue algo que se sintió en cada gesto.
Como toda semilla que comienza a brotar, el retiro tuvo su propio proceso de gestación y expresión. Y aunque algunas cosas podrían crecer o afinarse con el tiempo, siento que lo más importante estuvo presente: el amor, la intención y la magia de la tierra que todo lo sostiene.
Gracias, Rosy y Erik, por abrir este espacio desde el alma.
Gracias, Pachamama, por recordarme quién soy y de dónde vengo."
Con cariño profundo,
Renata
