AUGUST 9-16, 2025 | BLUE SPIRIT RETREAT IN COSTA RICA
QOYARI: QUEEN & FOUNDER OF THE INKA LINEAGE
DISCOVER THE MYTH OF QOYARI, HER LEGACY, & WHAT IT HAS TO TEACH US FOR THESE TIMES
Book Your Private Healing with our Ñust’a Paqo Master Healers!
The Q’ero Myth of INKARI, recovered during the first academic expedition to Hatun Q’eros in 1955, is credited as providing the ideological basis for the 1969 agrarian reform of Peru, redistributing ownership of large oligarchic estates back to indigenous communities, under the moto “those who work the land, own the land.” Huge social change was achieved by a powerful idea, the Q’ero myth of THE RETURN OF THE INKA.
However, until now, few words have been spoken about the little known MYTH OF QOYARI, powerful female progenitor of the Inka Nature Wisdom lineage. Through revelations about Qoyari that have come to light through our Global Paqo School, I would like to submit that the founding principles of feminine wisdom recovered by Rochelle Scheick (founder of Qoya.love) encapsulate the feminine wisdom of Qoyari and brings it forward into our modern world with it’s three word creed: understood in Quechua terms.
WISE=YACHAQ is the one who holds knowledge of the irrevocable and unseverable bond between the human body and Mother Nature, made more extant in the female human form. We can and MUST trust the intelligence of our body as the gateway to communion with Pachamama.
WILD=SALQA refers to the undomesticated living energy of wild animals, also in humans, who hold the native intelligence of how to heal themselves through Nature. This is also the term used by the Q’ero Paqos to describe the living energy that is harvested from the Gold & Silver fields cultivated in Mishkayani—a higher plane—and brought through to achieve miraculous healing, equilibrium and abundance in our material world.
FREE=KAMAKUQ ATIQ—this term means creator/founder or one who can bringforth creativeideas/projects/worlds and carry them to fruition. This would be the inherent power of the Mishkayani and Pachacutiq Ñust’as.
After the Spanish invaded Peru, According to Q’ero Myth, only Qoyari was able to return to—MISHKAYANI—The Sacred Metaphysical City of Power Priestesses—akin to the Tibertan Shambhala but in a feminine Andean formulation.
MISHAKAYNI is where QOYARI lives now, in this moment, and where she upholds and offers the purity of living energy that can heal the world, to the ones who reach out to her.
During this week long experience together we will listen deeply to the wisdom of Pachamama as we immerse ourselves in the Qoyari Wisdom through teachings, ceremonies, energetic transmissions, and the movement of our sacred bodies.
THIS IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY THE FEMININE WISDOM LINEAGE DIRECTLY WITH THESE ÑUST’A PAQOS, descendants of the Inkari & Qoyari who live high in the Andes of Peru are here to share their technology of how to re-sacralize our relationship with Mother Earth. They are experts in our Human/Nature relationship and are currently being called to leave their remote mountain villages in the clouds to share their ancestral practices with the world at this critical juncture. Come learn to become a human bridge to Nature to help restore harmony to our lives and our world.
We are all responsible for the condition of the earth and together we can heal our human family through love of Nature with proactive practice.

Cultural Benefit & The Promise of Ayni--Sacred Reciprocity
Your retreat tuition covers the cost of travel for our teachers, translation, lodging, venue fee, and program materials. By participating in this retreat, you will also help to accomplish meaningful, essential projects for the Q’ero people as proceeds from all retreats go to the Wiraqocha Foundation, which directly funds projects to support the entire Hatun Q’eros community. The Q’ero villages are at a very high altitude near the sacred Wamanlipa mountain in Peru, and only within the past few years was a road opened to Hatun Q’eros. The community is not accessible by bus or train, and there are no stores, doctors, clinics or hospitals nearby. Our master Q’ero teachers travel 10-12 hours to Cusco to teach in the Global Paqo School. Their geographic isolation frames both their challenges, as well as their unique culture, which has survived for centuries due to the law of AYNI. While their isolation has acted to protect their traditions, it has also severely limited their access to opportunities, education, and services. Even today, the Q’ero face severe economic, social and cultural pressures. The Wiraqocha Foundation raises critical funds to support our Q'ero Famliy.
