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.

Weekend Itinerary

Friday Evening

• Opening Cacao Ceremony to arrive, land, and connect with the circle.

• Introduction to your tools and the foundations of building your mesa or medicine bundle.

• Learning how to open sacred space and call in the directions and allies.

Saturday

• Understanding emotions and repeating patterns within the luminous energy field and how they imprint in the body.

• Root medicine and shedding practices to release heavy energy and old stories.

• Exploring the archetype of Sachamamma - the serpent - and how it supports grounding, presence, and shedding the past.

Sunday

• Protection rites and Bands of Power to strengthen your field and create clear energetic boundaries.

• Learning to create and hold a Fire Ceremony for release, prayer, and renewal.

• Continuing to build your mesa/medicine bag as a living altar and healing tool.

By the close of the weekend, you will have learned how to open and close space, worked with the Serpent archetype, experienced foundational Q’ero ceremonies, and taken the first steps in building your mesa and personal connection to the lineage. You will have received a variety of tools such as rattles, smudging herbs and a printed manual to support your continuing study.

Path 1 stands alone as a personal transformative journey. It also counts as direct credit toward full Warriors of Light practitioner certification if you choose to continue your journey around the Medicine Wheel. You will receive a full itinerary with more detailed timings in the days leading up to the training weekend.
