As keepers of these ancient traditions, they lovingly preserve the prayers, ceremonies, and teachings that have been passed from generation to generation, inviting others into a relationship of reciprocity, gratitude, and profound respect for the living Earth. For our Andean ceremonial guides, rituals are not a performance, but a way of living in continual conversation with the sacred. Every offering, every prayer, and every act of reciprocity becomes an expression of gratitude for the countless gifts that sustain life. In sharing these traditions, they invite us to experience a worldview where all of life is interconnected, and every relationship is honored as sacred. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63dad938690a44391d216016/b6789e99-1a41-46d3-893a-4c921aa5c9c6/perufacility.jpg Events - "Yo Crezco" Give Back, Connect, Grow - Get Your Tickets! “Yo Crezco” Give Back, Connect, Grow Retreat is an all-inclusive stay.

The exact time of departure TBD with a tentative plan to leave the airport by 4:00 pm EST on Thur and leave the retreat by 2:00 pm EST on Sun. In an attempt to accommodate everyone flying in, we will be in contact with all attendees before making the final decision on departure time. The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is the second closest option for long distance travelers, but requires a three hour Uber, rental car, or taxi service to The Mountain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63dad938690a44391d216016/48db8e4a-0117-4350-9d1c-dfd4c24ad428/ll.jpg Events - “I Shine!” Inner Fire Retreat - Pack Up Your stay with us will include 3 nights, 2 full days, and 2 half days filled with varying activities that will continue, rain or shine. Check the weather before your stay to ensure you pack appropriate clothing for hot days and cool nights. You might like a swimsuit to wear during the sweat bath or for cool dips in the lake at the base of the mountain. Bring comfortable shoes built for daily hikes, a journal, pen, and skin protectants such as sunscreen and bug spray. A flashlight might come in handy, as well as your personal toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc). There is also a Mountain Store that could be of help in the event of forgotten items. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63dad938690a44391d216016/b8b4f23e-ef2e-4504-b7cb-24fc8b4b75e3/IMG_0960.jpg Events - “I Shine!” Inner Fire Retreat - Extend Your Stay After the final ceremony, you may feel the burning desire to explore The Mountain further on your own or check out the surrounding areas. Highlands has a lot to offer amongst the Great Smoky Mountains, including theatre, live music, botanical gardens, museums, vineyards, waterfalls, gem mining, horseback riding, and river rafting. Or you can expand your horizons to the nearby cities of Asheville, Cherokee, or Greenville, for exciting experiences and enriching adventures. Don’t forget to arrange your ride back to the airport if you’re not using the pre-booked shuttle, and give yourself plenty of time to relax and integrate before heading back to city life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63dad938690a44391d216016/1729256572041-AFY3H5LCF0V9LV74T4CO/Refund+Policy.png Events - “I Shine!” Inner Fire Retreat - Welcome Home For more information shoot us an email and we’ll be more than happy to have a chat.
