Q'ero Shamans

For 500 years the elders of the Q'ero, the Quecha-speaking indigenous Andean people of south-central Peru, preserved a sacred prophecy of a great change, or "pachacuti," in which the world would be turned right side up, harmony and order would be restored, and chaos and disorder ended. Q'ero shamans don Francisco and dona Jaunita are traveling from the high Andes of Peru to share initiation ceremonies that help transform the self and usher in a new era.
