This December, join Romi Cumes LMT for a unique Yoga retreat and authentic cultural experience in Peru. This top-quality, eleven-day package begins and ends in the beautiful city of Cusco. Guests stay at the exquisite Willka T’ika Garden Retreat Center in the Sacred Valley and receive first-class guide service to sacred sites, villages, and ruins.
Enjoy the rich scenery and sounds of Machu Picchu, Cusco and other sacred sites during the greenest time of year in Peru. Willka T’ika offers spectacular gardens, deluxe accommodations and Healing Arts. Willka T’ika is also a small, working farm. Guests enjoy freshly prepared vegetarian cuisine made from food organically grown on the land. The energy of Peru and Willka T’ika is transformative, nourishing and healing. In December, the gardens are in full bloom and the energy of the land is vibrant and beautiful.
During this journey, participants will have the opportunity to experience authentic Andean ceremonies to support their unique inner healing process. We will interact with high mountain villages and visit the Quechua children’s school Chumpepokes, currently supported by the Willka T’ika Children’s Fund (WTCF).
WTCF currently supports three schools located above 12,000 feet in the Peruvian Andes. Current projects are underway to promote environmental and cultural sustainability, build new school facilities, create extracurricular programs, and develop a Quechua Young Women’s Academy.
If you have something special to offer these communities and would like to learn more about WTCF, please contact Romi: romi@romicumes.com and visit http://www.chakragardens.com.
