In the early 1990's, tribal elders and shamans from the Andes began to share traditional teachings and healing practices that they had held secret since the Conquest. According to their legends, we are now in the Pachakuti Era, when Eagle and Condor will reunite and fly in the same sky. Eagle symbolizes North American culture, material progress, physical mastery, and the body; Condor symbolizes South America, Earth-based spirituality, and the heart. |

'''Pachakuti Mesa Teachings''' |

Oscar Miro-Quesada, one of the "Condors," is a master shaman, curandero (healer), and teacher from Peru. His teachings have helped many students to open their hearts, and to honor the wisdom of indigenous cultures and their own ancestors. Oscar challenges students to find authentic paths of connection, community, and loving service to Mother Earth. |
|||
Oscar's teachings include deep dialogue, cross-cultural healing techniques, participation in ceremony, and reverent use of the Pachakuti mesa. A mesa, in the curandero tradition, is an altar, laid out on the ground, with a symbolic arrangement of sacred objects. The Pachakuti Mesa is an energetic map of the universe. It serves as a catalyst to focus healing energy for individual, community, and planetary transformation. |

In Inca mythology, Unu Pachakuti is the name of a flood that Viracocha caused to destroy the people around Lake Titicaca, saving two to bring civilization to the rest of the world.
The process of destruction is linked with a new construction. It has a very deep meaning in the language and traditions. Some people would translate it as "revolution".
"The Inca’s supreme being and creator god, Con Tici (Kon Tiki) Viracocha, first created a race of giants, but they were unruly, so he destroyed them in a mighty flood and turned them to stone. Following the deluge, he created human beings from smaller stones. "In other versions of this story, the impious race is the pre-Inca civilization of the Tiahuanaco Americans about Lake Titicaca, the large high lake in the Andes. Viracocha drowns them and spares two, a man and a woman, to start the human race anew. Some versions of the Unu Pachakuti have the surviving man and woman floating to Lake Titicaca in a wooden box."[1][unreliable source?]
