The Warrior Sanctuary is honored to host the 7th Annual Andes Summit with Itzhak Beer and the Shaman’s Portal!

Last year experiencing the integration of the wisdom of the Andes with that of the Cloud forest was a priceless magical remembrance of connection. This year we are building on that with inviting even more wisdom into our sanctuary.

This unique occasion allows you not only to intimately connect with our master shamans but also to bond with like-minded individuals from around the world who share a love for Mother Earth and a passion for personal growth and helping others. Whether you are new to Shamanism or a seasoned practitioner, The Andes Summit will deeply touch your heart and transform your life.

Our 7th annual gathering will be led by renowned shamans and wisdom keepers, including:

The Warrior Sanctuary and Amaroo were honored to host Itzhak Beery’s first intensive shamanic apprenticeship program in Ecuador, where he was trained in the “Path of the Yachak-Shaman”. After 5 days of intensive training, including an inaugural plant medicine ceremony with the Tsa’Chila in the Igal Maloca of Love & Compassion, a group of healing practitioners were empowered with ancient healing methods to begin integrating into their own healing modalities. The beginning of a long journey of remembrance for many, we were blessed to see the blossoming of magical gifts for the purpose of healing in service of Pachamama and the Universe.
