SUPPORTING INDIVIDUAL and COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS
It is human nature to evolve, seek understanding, expansion and fulfillment. We dedicate ourselves to living healthy lives, developing successful practices, nurturing relationships and raising conscious children. And yet, for many, there remains a calling to something more primary, more comprehensive– a state of lasting contentment in a world of constant change.
The Buddha taught that all the world is our mind. Francis Bacon said that all the world is a stage. As conscious beings, we determine our reality through our perceptions, thoughts, feelings, beliefs and actions. And in the absence of consciousness, we unwittingly create dis-ease, disharmony, chaos and suffering.
COMING HOME TO OURSELVES
Awakening consciousness is an inside job. The need for change usually arises when we feel displeasure or disruption, when aspects of our lives are no longer working; when we are burdened by frustration, apathy or heartache; experiencing injury, illness or loss; or have simply grown tired of being exhausted, overextended, unmet and/or alone.
So where did it all begin? Around one year of age, our mind creates an identity based on interactions and observations. I am me and therefore, you are you. Without wholistic guidance and education, these dualistic mindsets develop into states of separation fueled by fear, isolation, division, trauma and competitive points of view. Left unchecked, these influences coalesce to obscure our original state of oneness and cause lives to be fraught with projection, justification and repetitive conflict.
LIVING WISDOM EDUCATION
Andean wisdom speaks to a time when modern people will find the light in the darkness of their times. We feel that time is now and people are hungry for change. We are dedicated to providing universally-accessible offerings based on exploration and conveyance of wholistic wisdom, experiential learning and regenerative health. We offer in-person and online programs, integrative guidance, immersive journeys and healing retreats. We support individuals, couples, families, groups and organizations. Together, we work to deepen connection, expand collective wisdom and create more grounded, centered and mutually beneficial lives– lasting contentment in a world of constant change.

JEFFREY HUAMANCHEQ WIUM
North America
Jeffrey is a traditionally-trained celestial practitioner in the Andean-Inkan Holy Mountain Tradition. His spiritual path came to the forefront in 1996 when a spontaneous mystical experience dramatically shifted his reality.
This event inspired Jeffrey to seek deeper understanding. He began studying ancient spiritual arts, received the Tibetan Avaloketesvara initiation and undertook an educational journey to China, Tibet, Nepal and India.
While in Asia, Jeffrey had a series of experiences and encounters that stretched his cosmology further. Most humbly, it was a monastic elder in the Tibetan plateau that pointed Jeffrey back to the wisdom of his birth country.
After returning to the United States, Jeffrey began training in the Lipan Apache lifeways and shifted his focus to ecological, educational, spiritual and adventure-based media.
In 2002, Jeffrey was injured during the filming of a television series. This began a period of dedicated healing and harmonization of his physical, mental, emotional and energetic systems.
This wholistic process inspired Jeffrey to pursue certifications in multidisciplinary healing arts, including: reiki, qigong, yoga, meditation, watsu, , psychosomatic bodywork, indigenous philosophy, vision quest and sweat lodge protocols.
In 2005, Jeffrey attended an Andean Energy Medicine conference in Peru. While there, maestros from the Q’ero nation invited him to continue his training one-to-one. This began Jeffrey’s apprenticeship with the Andean-Inkan tradition.
In 2006, the lineage’s Elder Benefactors asked Jeffrey to organize programs and retreats in Peru and other countries. Jeffrey was tasked with sharing wholistic wisdom, helping people awaken consciousness, and reconnect with the sanctity of daily life.
In early 2007, Jeffrey was invited into the celestial realm of the Andean-Inkan tradition. This began an intensive period of training under the tutelage of his Mountain Spirit Benefactor. Later that year, Jeffrey was initiated by lightning and recognized as a celestial practitioner.
In August of 2008, while on pilgrimage in the Andes, Jeffrey received a vision to create a film conveying the sacred lifeways and practices of the Andean-Inkan tradition. The project quickly received philanthropic funding and pre-production commenced in earnest.
Working as a solo filmmaker, Jeffrey and his Andean colleagues made ten trips to the Peruvian altiplano over an eighteen-month period. In 2012, editorial and soundtrack development began. Film mastering, marketing and private screenings followed.
From January 2014, Jeffrey traveled the world sharing Wisdomkeepers, Paqo Andino, offering educational programs and immersive retreats.
Jeffrey founded Living Wisdom Education as a portal to share universal knowledge, sustainable practices and unified consciousness. He and his Andean colleagues operate a retreat and educational center in the Peruvian highlands that operates as a hub for learning conscious lifeways and training interdisciplinary practitioners. Living Centers are currently in development in Montana and New Zealand.
TUPAQ TTITO KUNTUR
South America
Tupaq is a direct descendent of the Inka and a celestial maestro in the Andean-Inkan Holy Mountain Tradition. Tupaq began his training under the tutelage of his grandfather at the tender age of two. He was taught the tradition’s ancestral heartways as his base operating system. This provided Tupaq with an innerstanding of collective consciousness and interdimensional operation– a foundation for daily life that resides beyond the concepts of separation and suffering.
In adolescence, Tupaq experienced a momentary death experience from disease. He was resuscitated by the lineage’s Mountain-Spirit Benefactors. This formed a deep bond that continues to support him to this day.
At eleven, Tupaq’s grandfather-mentor passed away. In his absence, Tupaq began a period of exploration and self-directed learning in the highlands around his village. He journeyed into the surrounding landscape following intuition, listening to guidance, observing, and growing his knowledge. He made ceremonial offerings, helped people with food production and deepened his relationship with the Earth, Elements and the Apus who had saved his life.
It is sometimes difficult for a westerner to understand how a boy of eleven can find his way in the natural world without a parent nearby. Tupaq was on an extended pilgrimage and life education. He lived within collective community, where everyone is connected as a spiritual family and culture.
At 16 years old, Tupaq’s father passed away and Tupaq returned home often to support his mother and his six younger siblings. During this time, he continued his journeys into nature, refined his ceremonies and honed his healing techniques attending to the needs of family and community.
At 19, Tupaq moved to Cusco to extend his education. He also began three consecutive apprenticeships with celestial maestros to help deepen his understanding, wisdom, ceremonies and prayers.
At 21, Tupaq became a full initiate of the Andean-Inkan celestial tradition. Since then, he has focused expanding his knowledge, teaching and being an intermediary, supporting the health and wellbeing of the local population, flora and fauna.
Tupaq’s education and knowledge’s largely a result of his relationship with the Mountain-Spirit Benefactors, and a culture rooted in equanimity, inclusivity, generosity, respect, non-duality and unified consciousness.
Tupaq’ is dedicated to sharing Andean-Inkan wisdom, sacred practices, cosmological principles and wholistic ways of life. He is a founding member of Tiwantinsuyo (the return of the Children of the Sun). In this, Tupaq and his brothers organize cultural exchanges with maestros and wisdomkeepers of many traditions.
Tupaq is an extraordinarily humble and wise man. As a father, teacher and mystic, Tupaq speaks directly from his heart, and for generations of ancestors and a multitude of interdimensional beings. Tupaq shares his wisdom via consultations, programs, teachings, mentorships and immersive retreats.
