Sacred Earth Journeys is providing a unique and exceptional service
that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone who is interested
in having authentic, expansive and uplifting travel experiences. My
journey with them to Peru provided me with a safe, like-minded and
nurturing container in which to attain my spiritual intentions plus
more. It was a great way to travel alone as well. The people in my
group were open-hearted and shared similar values which gave me an
immediate sense of belonging and freedom to be who I am. Thank you
Helen, Puma and Jorge for such an incredible and life-affirming
experience.

The trip to Peru left an imprint on my soul . I returned a different
person. My experience in Peru was like visiting another dimension. That
experience of another dimension was given life by the sacredness of the
areas we visited. Our guide - just being in his presence was a sacred
gift, his energy was like a ray of sunshine, and within him he carried a
wealth of wisdom well delivered. Our group - it was a family reunion, we
truly were family. Though, physically far apart we will always be
family, after our experience together in Peru. It was really hard
returning to the world, we call our reality. Whenever I feel like I am
loosing my balance in this reality, in my mind, I return to my Peru
experience, that place of wholeness and balance. Just last night I had a
dream that included my Peru family. In the dream, we were tracking
through a forested area, when we decided that we were hungry. At the end
of the forest was an Old Country Buffet, which is a generic buffet in
the US, but when we entered, it was an elegant place with the finest of
food. The table was already set for the ten of us. The experience in
Peru was not just a trip; it was a journey of the soul and a pilgrimage
that enlightened the spirit.

This trip surpassed every expectation. It was a rich, textured experience.
Thank you Helen/SEJ for your excellent job in laying the groundwork for this
wonderful mind, heart and soul expanding-adventure.

After drooling over the various itineraries for months on the web site for
Sacred Earth Journeys, I decided to take the plunge and book the trip to
Peru. There were so many books that were talking about Peru and how the
Earth's kundalini energy is there now, as well as the mystery and power of
Lake Titicaca, that I felt this urgency to go. Friends had asked me if I was
nervous about going alone in a group where I didn't know anyone, but I
couldn't wait to be amongst a group of people who shared the same passion
for the books and ideas that I was interested in. I was looking forward to
making these connections as much as experiencing the physical sites we would
visit. My expectations were exceeded on all counts! We had the best
guides, Puma in The Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu and Jorge Luis Delgado in
Lake Titicaca. I felt very privileged to have gone to Puma's family home in
Chinchero and to enjoy Jorge's hospitality in his hotel in Lake Titicaca.
They were both outstanding in their knowledge and their deep connection to
others and to the planet. The sites, experiences and relationships formed
will stay with me forever. A big thank you also to Helen for creating all of
this for us to enjoy and also to her partners in Peru for making it so
seamless! I loved it SO much that I am now taking a Sacred Earth Journeys
trip to Egypt!"

The Heart of the Pachamama journey to Peru
with Sacred Earth Journeys was life changing for me. I started this
trip with the intention of discovering who I AM; and, by the end of the
journey, I no longer felt confused about what I seem to be with who I
really AM. Knowing who I AM, I still my mind, greet my courage and
seed myself in faith. I am no longer burdened by my fears and have
divorced myself from my past and the future. The consciousness that
brought my spirit here is the consciousness that will guide me safely
through my life. My path is illuminated by Divine Light and I take each
step forward with faith and love. I dispel the limits and inhibitions
of the past, and I intend to live each day from this moment on elevating
my consciousness and being lifted into the future of myself. I can
indeed count my blessing to have been able to reconnect with my Soul
Family and our wonderful guide, Puma.

This journey for me, was like the passing through of a magic door. In
most cases, one does not see a magic door, even as you are passing through.
But once you are on the other side, you feel different...or you come closer
to who you are.
To travel with like-minded souls. To open my heart to and to awaken
along-side of them, was truly the most sacred of gifts. The landscapes,
sacred sites, and the most beautiful and expansive tour guides, made this
journey exceptional.
I am forever in your gratitude, Helen. For making this moment in my life
possible. I will hold it forever in my heart, and look forward to
endeavouring on many more with your outstanding company.
Fiona Moger, Mentone, Australia (Heart of the Pachamama - Sep/09)
I have traveled to Rome and thought it was the best trip of my life.
However, after going to Peru my feelings are way over and above the Rome
trip. I have noticed the change within me. I have gained so much knowledge
about Mother Nature and the ancient Inca people. Today is the best day of my
life past and present - a quote from Puma who stated this to us every
morning. Again, I will never forget what a journey this was. I recommend
this journey to everyone. My spiritual journey was something I will never
forget and always remember. So rich in spirit and nature that you will feel
different. Today I have tears in my eyes as I think of the journey in my
life and I am forever grateful. Puma was excellent in wisdom and sprit. He
is a very old soul.
Daisy Rubio, Lakewood, NJ (Heart of the Pachamama - Sep/09)
What a fabulous experience. Truly life changing. One thing that I was not
expecting were the friendships and deep connections that I would make with
the other travelers. We were all very much on the same path and some of us
made bonds that will truly last a lifetime. Another thing I was not
expecting was the amount of emotional clearing that would take place. Even
though I knew this was a spiritual journey, I didn't realize the depth of
the "process" that we would be experiencing. I highly recommend this type of
trip for anyone who is on a similar path.

Life and the
participation in Living occurs only once! Once your whole life long! It is
up to each individual to seek out and experience Living at such an intensity
that the vibration of the Soul equals the vibration of the Universe…the
Cosmos! With this trip to Peru, I was a witness and a participant in the
Vibration of Ancient Wisdom that has forever changed my perspective of Life
and has changed the course of my Living. I feel more alive and ‘in sync’
with the Cosmos, God, and the Higher Self, than I have ever been aware
before. It is a rare and wonderful privilege to walk where the Ancients
walked, taught, and lived. Walked with the Ancients as they walked and lived
their choices. One can feel wisdom seep into every pore and meld into every
thought though the experience of being where the past and the present make
history! As Puma said, “One must know their past in order to know where
their future lies!” How wise, how insightful, how true! At Machu Picchu….I
was physically standing on the precipice of solid rock while looking into
deep ravines, without the security of ropes or rails, and through meditation
and silence, I was standing on the precipice of my Power, without the doubts
and limitations of frail human beliefs! All the shackles of ‘man made’ fears
gone….only the whispers of the Ancient Teachers can be heard.
To walk in the footsteps of those with such wisdom and understanding and the
knowledge of what it means to live, is an honor and a privilege….and I will
aspire to walk where my history guides me into the future.
Thank you for providing such a deep opportunity for such a rich lesson.

The ceremonies by Puma were very heart-centered and
positive. The visit to the ancient Aramu Muru doorway is not to be missed
if you have a chance to go to Lake Titicaca. This is an ancient real
Stargate with many stories and myths surrounding it. You may get some
insights after meditating there. Who knows? Maybe you'll disappear into
another dimension...
Tanoyo Tanoko, Vancouver, BC (Heart of

This excursion was
the first guided tour, of any kind, we have participated in. I believe because
of the topic and subject matter, that the guidance was captivating and extremely
powerful due to the sacred locations and the spirit of all our hosts. The work
at hand is important and inspiring and we are honored to carry forth the essence
of what has been awakened in us. A good friend of mine can be heard saying
“all
roads converge”. Many months ago a seed was planted and spirit,
knowing our hearts, brought us to this journey for amazing life changes
– this
“convergence of roads” is undeniable!!

I was interested in travelling to Peru and decided to go with Sacred Earth
Journeys because I figured that going to such a spiritual place should be
appreciated within that context. I wasn't sure how I was going to fit in because
I thought that the group might be a little 'out there'. Helen assured me that
there were all types, and she was right. In fact, everybody had something very
interesting to add to the group dynamic. The Lake Titicacca excursion turned out
to be an incredible life-affirming and life-altering experience for me. I
remember our tour leader Andrea saying, "there is life before Peru, and life
after Peru". I thought she might have been exaggerating; however, I can now
attest to the truth of her statement. Thank-you Helen for facilitating this
journey.

Expect to have
your senses and emotions, your heart and your soul inspired and transformed by
this tour to Peru. This is a trip that aims to touch the very centre of your
being - and it delivers! Helen at Sacred Earth Journeys will take care of all
the arrangements for you. Jorge and Andrea will take good care of you on the
trip. They all did an exceptional job!

The Sacred
Earth Journey trip to Peru is an opportunity not to miss, particularly the Inca
Mysteries and Magic trip I participated in during June, 2004. Helen Tomei in
Vancouver co-ordinates the trip, and takes care of organizing all the finest
details from the plane ticket to the hotels, and anything else you request. I
just had to show up to enjoy the adventure. Helen's knowledge and passion for
travel makes her a great travel adventure representative, and the uniqueness of
the trips she represents is strongly reflected by her web page. After three
weeks, I left Peru with a renewed sense of awe at the legacies so many of the
spiritual sites offer to those seeking to experience a deeper spiritual
dimension. It was quite a humbling experience to participate in group ceremonies
at the many sacred sites in the Sacred Valley, and the leadership, knowledge and
wisdom of the group tour leaders, Andrea and Jorge enrichened the experiences.
Through exploration, I learnt so much about the history of the temples and
sacred places, but practising the ceremonies lent an "experiencial" element that
deepened my understanding of these temple sites. The night ceremony at Machu
Picchu will remain a highlight to the trip. Standing beneath the stars of the
Milky Way, and surrounded by the beauty of Machu Picchu, I felt privileged to
have an opportunity to connect on such a personal level with the stones, apus
and pachamama. The trip was both a communal and personal journey... the
fellowship of the group kept the energy fun and interesting, and all in all, the
trip was a perfect blend of laughter, adventure and spiritual pilgrimage. It was
a unique visual and spiritual feast, and something I will cherish for the rest
of my life.
