Juan & Ivan Nunez Del Prado
Join us for a unique and rare opportunity to study with one of the world’s great Shamanic & Mystical Masters, Juan & IvanNuñez del Prado, the world’s leading expert on Q’ero mysticism, visiting Ireland for the second and possibly the last time in October/November 2016.
The Q’ero are the native people’s of Peru and the AndesMountains. They are the descendants of the High Priests of the Inca Empire, who hid themselves in the Andean mountains to escape the Spanish conquest of their empire. They remained hidden from the rest of the world for 500 years until discovered by Juan’s father, an anthropologist, in 1950. The Inca Empire was a shamanic civilization – laws, society and politics all organised along shamanic principles, the only such civilization known. The Q’ero retained this advanced shamanic knowledge in its pure form until their elders emerged to share this wisdom with the modern world.
As a 10 year old child, Juan was present at this first historic meeting between the western world and this ancient civilization, and has been studying under the Q’ero masters ever since. Himself an anthropologist like his father, he has combined their teaching with western ways of thinking to make the Q’ero teachings accessible to Europeans. Juan and Ivan have refined 30 years of training as a Q’ero shaman into two learning paths, classes and tours. Classes are done via three 2-day workshops, in which Juan teaches the refined energy work of the three Masters he studied under (Don Benito Q’oriwaman, Don Andres Espinoza, and Don Melchor Deza). These are what we offer in Ireland this November. The other side of the training takes place in Peru, using ancient Inca rituals which only work in their original locations, in a series of 3 one-week tours. The tours and the classes are independent, so you can do one without the other.
Modest and unassuming, Juan & Ivan have written no books, and sought no fame. Juan is an internationally recognized anthropologist and Jungian scholar, and has lectured at HarvardUniversity and the main Jungian Institute in Switzerland. He is accompanied in his teaching by his son, Ivan, who has studied shamanism alongside his father throughout his life, receiving his first initiation at the age of 7. Ivan is also a professional astronomer, who brings his scientific understanding to the energy work, and shows how the Q’ero cosmology is perfectly compatible with modern science.
Juan & Ivan Núñez del Prado are the only people alive today with the most comprehensive knowledge of the Inca religion, the Inca culture, the energy work of the Inca and all its myths today. These days, even young Q'eros seek him out to learn from him, which he considers a great honour and sign of appreciation. Juan has also studied within the Buddhist tradition and in 1993 received his Buddhist initiation from Lopon Lama Chechoo Rinpoche. He has also published theological papers showing the compatibilities between Christian doctrine and Q’ero morality.
Shamanism teaches the world is made of living energy, but most people work with the things this energy creates (the objects and people in our world), not directly with the energy itself. Students report Juan’s classes are very profound and give them the ability to perceive and work directly with this world of living energy. No previous learning or knowledge is necessary.
THE CLASSES
There are three 2-day classes. You can take any one class, or take all as a single 6-day training course followed by a 3 day master class which can be taken also following a full attendance at the first three modules. No experience of shamanism, reiki, or any other spiritual tradition is necessary.

Juan speaks to power:
Power in the Andean tradition is a good thing. Really it is only the difference between things that you can do and things that you cannot do. We are not afraid of power. It is good to have power. If you have the power to love, you must demonstrate that power. If you claim to have that power you must show it by loving well. If you have the power to build a very large Saiwa,a column of energy, you must demonstrate this by using the power to some purpose.
Americans will be surprised to find out that the more energy you can give, the more you are open to receive an even more powerful energy. Your consumer society trains you to accumulate, but it is really the opposite of what you might think. You think power is something you must hold on to. This is not true, for the more you give away your power, the more Huaca, or sacred, you become. You are too concerned with keeping things. This is your biggest downfall. The surest way to gain is when you are able to exchange energy with another living system. This is what keeps you and Pachamama alive.
Look at it on a simple level. When you appreciate someone, you are giving them some of your living energy. Receiving your energy, they will have more and be better able to give you some back later. This is a natural self-sustaining process of interdependence. When fruit ripens it wants to be picked and eaten by animals and people. Fruits are the kisses of Pachamama, she wants to give them to her children because of her great love. The fruit sustains the body of the person or animal, and the seeds can go into the ground through the faeces of the animal, and the fruit can live again in another place on the Earth. So by eating her fruit you are helping to keep her alive. We keep nothing. We are here in the Apache to learn to do Ayni. We must become good at Ayni.
Special Note to Four Winds graduates and other mesa carriers: Juan’s training is completely compatible with Alberto’s teachings, and with other schools of Quechan training. You will find it closer to the traditional Quechan methodology than many teachings, that it will deepen your relationship with your mesa and enhance your connection to the Lineage.

Juan and Ivan Nuñez del Prado
Juan is the foremost expert in the world on the Andean mystical tradition and the Q’ero Indians of Peru. As an Anthropologist, mystic, and past University professor, he is one of the most important spiritual figures in South America. His father, Oscar ‘discovered’ the Q’ero, the last direct descendants of the Inka in 1949. Since 2005, Juan has worked together with his son, Ivan, who has been a student of the Andean Path since seven years old, being initiated in Q’olloriti, one of the most powerful sacred sites in the Andes (it is said that you can never be a powerful Paq’o until you have ‘presented yourself’ to Lord Q’olloriti at least once). Working as a team, they model the powerful Inka concept of yanantin, the harmonious relationship of different elements.

The Hatun Karpay Initiation
In the Andes it is believed that you are born with an Inka Seed, a seed of personal potential that is waiting to be awakened, fed and nurtured. An initiatory experience provides the tools for the birthing and sprouting of this seed, an opportunity to move your spirituality from something abstract to something that is ‘real’ as you learn the energetic practices and apply them to your life.
Through involvement in the Andean practices you are changed – from being someone who has ‘forgotten' yourself to someone who remembers.’ You are being ‘called’ to participate in a "Great Initiation" (or Hatun Karpay) as they say in the Andes.
Indigenous peoples have a wisdom for which Westerners are longing. The Hartun Karpay initiation makes this wisdom accessible by waking up your personal potential, leading you into a richer, deeper experience of your life. As transitions and challenges present themselves, you move more gracefully toward your authentic self, setting a trajectory aligned with your values through a clarity and appreciation for your own personal power and the life that is in front of you.
The Hatun Karpay Initiation offers practical tools for interacting with nature, understanding its relevance in your life and experiencing your place in the world. The Hatun Karpay initiatory experience has been practiced for hundreds of years in the Andes by the Q’ero Indians, the direct descendants of the Inka and the prophets and visionaries of the Andes. They are considered to be the Keepers of Ancient Wisdom of the Inka and of the Inka Prophecies.
The Hatun Karpay Initiation will assist you to:
- Connect with living energy to enrich and nurture your being
- Access clarity and strength to live the life you were destined to live
- Resolve conflict and disperse heavy energy
- Meet and overcome fears with courage and compassion
- Develop personal power and spiritual authority from within
- Integrate and harmonize your inner masculine and feminine
- Develop and access inner resources not experienced before
- Feel healthy, vital, happy and balanced
- Experience peace, harmony and belonging in everyday life
