We are living in the time of Pachakuti—the great turning of the world that the Inka elders foretold centuries ago. This cycle of collapse and renewal brings both challenge and opportunity: upheaval that clears what no longer serves, and the possibility of restoring balance, vitality, and integrity to our lives.
In this live-online series, you’ll be guided by Túpaq Ttito Kuntur and Amy Nicholson into the heart of Andean prophecy and practice. Together we will explore how to transform heavy energies (Hucha), align with the renewing force of Pachakutimuy, and reconnect with the cosmic and natural forces that support healing and awakening in these times of change.
About the course:
Across the Andes, the Inka elders spoke of a time when the world would turn upside down—the Pachakuti—a great cycle of collapse and renewal. This prophecy tells of a returning force that clears away distortion and heaviness (Hucha), bringing both upheaval and the possibility of deep restoration.
We are living in this very cycle. In a time of conflict, disconnection, and imbalance, the wisdom of Pachakuti offers a way to walk with clarity, integrity, and alignment. Rather than being overtaken by chaos, we can learn to live in rhythm with these forces, transforming heaviness into light and awakening the original essence of our being.
In this series, we will study and embody Andean teachings, guided by ritual, practice, and direct experience. Together, we will learn how to:
Understand the energetic forces shaping this time of transition.
Recognize and release heavy energies (Hucha).
Align with Pachakutimuy—the current of renewal that restores balance.
Strengthen connection with the cosmic beings and the natural world.

About Túpaq
Túpaq T’tito Kuntur was born in Pomaqanchi, Peru. His journey in the Andean medicine began as a child under the guidance of his grandfather and parents who worked with plant medicines as pampamisayoqs.
Tupaq has experienced many of the classic initiations for becoming a medicine person. He has been struck by lightning twice (as a child and an adult) and then as a teenager, he lost his grandfather and his father, tragically soon. Sick with an incurable, mysterious illness, he left home to learn how to heal himself, and initiated his path as a paqo, first becoming a Pampamisayok and then after many years of personal tests and training the Apus (the mountain spirits) gave him the Celestial Misha of High Misayoq, or Altomisayoq. In addition to being in service as High Misayoq, he has been called to become Willaq Uma (Messenger and prophet of the ancestors and the spiritual cosmos), to continue with the prophecy that his Inkas ancestors left, to gather and restore power spiritual of the Tawantinsuyu of the Inkas, along with his brothers chosen for these times according to the Pachakutiq and the INKA prophecy.
