Over the past 25 years, the most respected shamans of Peru particularly the Q'ero of the Andean Highlands, have been sharing their mystical cosmology with the world. With a lineage of wisdom teachings going back 5000 years, the Q'ero have preserved a path of shamanic knowledge and practices that many in our modern world hunger for.

ShamanTALK is a site created to support students of Inka shamanism and those interested in accessing information on the medicine path of the Inka shamans of Peru.

ShamanTALK continues to grow in service to your needs as we receive feedback and requests for information from you. This site originates from the Kamloops, BC, Vancouver, BC, Canada and New York, USA Ayllu Communities.

Our Ayllu continues to grow and expand with new mesa carriers being initiated from all over our blessed earth mother, Pachamama - and so, we offer here, a way to connect and network together from wherever you are. This is our site and we invite you to contribute. We welcome your links to your work, your stories, articles, book reviews and resources to share. Please feel free to contact us at administrator@shamantalk.com if you would like to participate.

If you are a mesa carrier or in the process of becoming one, we also invite you to join our Yahoo! Kamloops-Ayllu Discussion Group (go to the Dialogues page for more info) where you can communicate with other students of Inca shamanism sharing your questions and experiences.
