Quetzacoatl Rising Healing for Wisdom Seekers and Healers
Quetzal Medicine is a two‑day shaman workshop rooted in ancient Mesoamerican traditions and the sacred Quetzal bird, a symbol of freedom, resilience, spiritual connection and divine power. The Quetzal has been revered by the Maya and Aztecs for centuries; its name comes from the Nahuatl word “Quetzalli,” meaning precious or sacred.
Across these cultures, the Quetzal’s iridescent plumes are linked to the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl, uniting sky, earth and water, light and growth. In this workshop we meet the Quetzal as a bearer of spiritual medicine, guiding us to connect with the unseen, receive clear messages, and remember the divine essence that lives in each of us.
Day 1 is dedicated to The Rising of the Quetzal, awakening its spirit within our own energy body and beginning to work with its medicine. Day 2 is The Dragon’s Flight, expanding that connection into courage, vision and embodied spiritual power.
This weekend is for anyone who feels curious about shamanic work, energy medicine or earth‑based spirituality; whether you are completely new to this kind of practice or have been walking this path for years. It’s especially valuable if you are ready for a grounded yet mystical container where you can explore safely, ask questions, and be guided step by step.
No prior experience is needed: everything will be explained, demonstrated and supported so you can move at your own pace. Tools will be supplied for all participants, and you’ll leave with practical ways to continue working with Quetzal Medicine in your everyday life. Warriors of Light graduates are invited to bring their Kuyus and Moon Eye.

What Happens on Path 1?
Path 1 lays the foundations for the rest of the Warriors of Light training with an illuminating dive into your root.
The Q’ero shamans of Peru understand illness, stagnation, and suffering as the accumulation of heavy energy, or hucha, within the luminous energy field. This luminous energy field is the subtle blueprint that surrounds and informs the physical body, holding our stories, patterns, and potential for healing and growth.
Path 1 shows you how to track, locate, and transform this heavy energy at its root. Rather than working only with the mind or emotions, you will learn to engage directly with the luminous field, so that change happens from the source outward.
This is not a passive learning experience. Throughout the immersion you will both give and receive healing with fellow students, held and supervised directly by Deborah and her team. By the end of Path 1, you will have personally experienced the core ceremonies of the Q’ero tradition and will have a grounded set of tools you can begin to weave into your own life and practice.

You will have received a variety of tools such as rattles, smudging herbs and a printed manual to support your continuing study.

You will receive a full itinerary with more detailed timings in the days leading up to the training weekend.
