We Are Living in a Time of Emerging Prophecy
The prophecies of indigenous cultures across the planet share one critical commonality. They speak to the re-emergence of a harmonized and dynamic relationship between humans and the natural world. These prophecies, which have been passed down orally for many generations, for the most part emphasize a positive unfolding, as long as we CHOOSE this destiny through our actions.
Prophecy does not write itself. It is birthed by those who awaken and choose to step into active engagement. It is our sacred and profound honor at this time to accept our destiny of the co-creative process of walking the planet forward into the new earth that is birthing – a new world of harmonization, balance, and sacred reciprocity. Entering into relationship with the Ñust`as through ceremony, teachings and practices offers that harmonization.
The Ñust`as: Healing Forces of Nature are essential guides on our path. The Ñust`as support us in becoming all of who we are. They have been with us since our birth, and are waiting for us to receive them now.
The teachings, wisdom and guidance about the Ñust`as have been introduced to us by Q’ero medicine men and women from the high Andes of Peru – through the teachings of Elizabeth Jenkins, founder of the Wiraqocha Foundation, who has been bringing the Q’ero traditions and teachings to the West for the last 30+ years. Additional thanks for Zane Curfman and Salka Munay Ayllu for sharing some of the key context for the Ñust`a teachings with us.
“As above, so below,
as within, so without,
as the universe, so the soul” ~ Hermes Trismegistus
The Q’ero have been called down from the mountains (as part of their prophecy) to offer their wisdom teachings to the rest of the world at this time.
As an intact culture that has lived in relative harmony with the Earth in incredibly harsh circumstances for hundreds of years, the Q’ero have much to teach about how engaging in sacred reciprocity with the Healing Forces of Nature can allow one to embody inner and outer balance, not to mention more love, gratitude, self-acceptance, and joy! Above all these beautiful medicine men and women embody a deep joy that is grounded in their love and respect for all of creation.
The teachings about the Ñust`as have only recently been made available to the West, and so this body of wisdom is relatively new to the world, and yet is grounded in hundreds of years of deep engagement and sacred practice. (Please read more about the Ñust`as for some historical context, at the Wiraqocha Foundation blog.
By learning how to be in sacred relationship with the Ñust`as, you enter into an increasingly dynamic global community of sacred activists for planetary change, accelerating the rebalancing of our pachamama, mother earth, and contributing to her healing.
And so we invite you into a deeper engagement with the Ñust`as to support you in:
• Balancing and Harmonizing your Divine Feminine and Sacred Masculine Energies
• Opening your Heart and Softening your Ego
• Accelerating your Healing Process and Transforming old Wounds
• Elevating your Energy Field
• Opening to Deep Love and Sublime Bliss
• Becoming a Sacred Activist for Planetary Renewal
“The receipt of the Ñust`a Karpay rites has been the great integrator of the wisdom teachings I have received over the years. Their wise and dynamic counsel guide me in meditation and action, always from the heart.” – BS
Why Receive this Connection with the Ñust`as? What are the Benefits?
Suitable for both beginners and those who are more advanced in their healing paths, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to transform life on an individual and collective level.
The Ñust`as offer a heart-centered way of living and support us in opening to our true potential and capacity to love and live fully in the moment, thus offering the gift of our embodied presence to all whom we engage with.
Direct benefits include a heightening of intuitive abilities, a new appreciation and relationship to Nature, a capacity to love more fully and live from the heart, a healing of old wounds and self-destructive behaviors, a liberation of one’s true voice, a reduction in toxic emotions such as fear, guilt, and shame, a clearing of non-serving ancestral lineage patterns, and an awakening to joy, purpose and passion.
Participants will come away with a deeper sense of themselves and a potent set of practices, which includes the ability to recognize and enter into active engagement with your unique local Ñust`as, allowing for energetic integration and continued growth.
Aligning with the Healing Forces of Nature supports you in becoming more fully embodied in your capacity to become a positive healing force in your life, and in the lives of all whom you touch. Through your work with the Ñust`as over time you will come to know yourself as a Healing Force of Nature.

What past Ñust`a workshop participants have to say:
“The Ñust`a Karpay has been the most glorious and loving experience for me, and I’ve had many others … I’m certain that I’m stepping into the world with a more pure and powerful medicine as a woman, as a global citizen and as a healer.” – AG
“Ellen and Suzannah are clearly passionate about and inspired by their work and relationship with the Ñust`as. They are both incredibly knowledgeable and hold a safe and loving container for the initiations and teachings to blossom. They flowed through the weekend effortlessly and complement and support each others teaching styles. Can’t wait for more offerings!” – Elaine M, Georgia
“The Ñust`a Karpay gathering and workshop is a beautiful guided experience. Ellen Kittredge and Suzannah Tebbe Davis are deeply at-tuned to their own loving hearts and bring intuitive wisdom, deep presence, unhurried attention, in union with ayni (sacred reciprocity) and in unison with each individual as well as the collective group. The transmission of the sacred wisdom of the Divine Feminine are Peruvian Rites of passage, awakening the sense of Mother Nature and all of her Relations, connecting us to our own heart and the One Heart as we traverse the valleys and mountains of our own paths. This was a powerful ceremony of ritual, touching esoteric and visceral levels of our humanity and our cosmic heritage…a blessing of many colorful folds.” – HB, Georgia
“Ellen and Suzannah are miraculous Weavers of the Sacred tapestry called life. Together they create alchemy by both allowing the personal healing journey and providing a safe space to deepen beyond expectation. It has been an incredible, life-changing gift to participate in their offerings. I cannot recommend their wisdom enough.” – Kady Morgan
“Of all the teachings and paths I have followed over the years, the Ñust`a Karpay rites have powerfully ignited my soul and propelled me into action from a heart based approach.” – KH
