Join us on another exploration of the Andean Wisdom teachings with paqos Victor Chura Quispe and Celia Samata Apaza!

In this 4-week class series, Victor + Celia will guide us in working on a deeper level with the Andean medicine bundle, also known as a quipu or mesa/misah.

This class is a great option for beginner + intermediate levels. We recommend these teachings for current mesa carriers who would like to reconnect with their misah or deepen their understanding of the practice, as well as anyone interested in building their own misah and learning more about this tradition + practice.

Hosted by Anna Claire Lotti + Sondra Hamilton. Translation from Quechua + Spanish provided by Dora Fronek.
