The Lineage

Inca shamanism asks for
your full presence.

It is a path back to connection with Mother Earth, with the elements, with who you truly are. An ancient knowledge preserved for generations in the high Andes by the Q'eros, descendants of the original Inca. The paqos, guardians of Mother Earth and masters of living energy, pass on this wisdom with reverence and dedication.

According to an ancient prophecy, this is the time of the Mastay, the great meeting. A period of integration in which the peoples of the four directions recognise one another again and the knowledge of the South and the North come together. In which the Eagle of the North and the Condor of the South fly together once more: mind and heart, earth and sky, human and nature, reunited.

Thamar works from this lineage. In the Netherlands through the Path of Inca Shamanism. In Peru through the Soul Retreats, together with Marisol Apaza Suclli and paqos who carry the tradition as a way of life.

Initiation Programme · The Netherlands
The Path of
Inca Shamanism

3 modules · Dates on request · In-person

The path of the Inca, also known as the Rainbow Path, is not walked with the mind but with the heart. It reminds you of the primordial connection with Mother Earth, with the elements, and with the living energy that flows through all things.

You receive teachings from the lineage of Don Alejandro Apaza Machacca, one of the last direct descendants of the Inca. A deeply lived transmission that brings you back to the natural harmony in which everything comes together.

The Path of Inca Shamanism

Walking the Rainbow Path
step by step.

Each part of the path builds on the previous. The modules are in-person and take place in the Netherlands. No prior knowledge is required — only the willingness to be fully present.

1
Mesa & Hucha

3 July 2026

You build your personal mesa: a sacred altar that embodies and carries your path. You learn to work with Inca cosmology and the Chakana, the cross of the four worlds. You learn to work with hucha, heavy energy, and how to transform it. This training is the foundation of the shamanic path and consists of an online training and a practical day.

2
Healing & Soul Retrieval

Dates on request

You open sacred space and work with the four directions and power animals. You learn to apply energetic clearing and guide soul retrieval: the return of lost soul parts in yourself and others. A deeply immersive weekend retreat that opens the healing work. You learn to work with your kuya mesa and give healing and a very special soul retrieval.

3
Living and Working in Ayni

4 & 5 July 2026

Ayni is the Quechua word for reciprocity and sacred balance. In this weekend retreat you work with despacho ceremonies and learn how to integrate reciprocity and balance as living principles. How to weave this work into your daily life, so that the path continues beyond the training.

Thamar Karpes — Inca Shamanism
The Apaza family — Q'ero tradition, Peru

You don't need to understand anything
to be moved deeply.

The land itself opens. The tradition carries. What is asked is willingness: to be present and allow what wants to move.
