“Following the Path of Amazon Priestess”
The Path of the Amazon Priestess is a rare opportunity to experience the magic and mystery of Machu Picchu and use the energy of the Incas and Amazons to take your journey to becoming a Goddess Warrior to the next level.It is the path of initiation which reveals the mysteries of the high priestess' ancient knowledge. The Inca Trail is a place where answers are found and your spiritual gifts are awakened. Along the Inca Trail there are 7 ancient temples. Each temple carries its own medicine and is the spiritual keeper of many gifts. You will be challenged and tested on all levels according to what personal lessons are to be learned, to find and bring forth your power and purpose. It will be an unforgetable transformation and purification.
Our 2 week journey will start us off visiting Lima for the day and off to the city Cusco, a historic site of Peru. We will then head towards Machu Picchu where we will be getting prepared for our Inca Trail hike for 4 nights and 5 days. We will get prepared for our journey with a sweat lodge ceremony with a Peruvian shaman to purify ourselves and get ready for our quest. While hiking the Inca Trail, which starts off at 15,000 feet elevation we will be visiting 7 ancient temples all which represent one of the 7 major chakras. We will be doing a ceremony at each sacred temple to help us go deeper into our own personal healing to empower and unleash the Priestess Goddess Warrior within. On our last day of hiking the Inca trial we will arrive in Machu Picchu to rest, shop, soak in hot tubs and eat fabulous food for 3 days and also climb the highest peak of Machu Picchu the crown chakra temple, Wayna Picchu. After climbing to our true potential and reaching the top of our journey we will rejoice in a closing ceremony. After completing our quest we will return back to Cusco and Lima and head home with a new attitude and outlook towards life.

| The history herstory of the Amazon women |
is today still a mystery and as it should be. The Amazon woman is the magical essence of God / Goddess. There are many defintions around the world to describe the Amazon women. They where fierce women warriors who lived at Machu Picchi and where well protected by their people, the Incas.
The word Amazon in Greek, the phrase mazos means “breast”, a meaning without, woman without a breast. The myth is that the Amazon women cut off one breast to shot the bow and arrow. In Armenia Amazon means moon-women, in Persia amazon means warrior, in Libya free or noble person. All of these defintions describe the most fierce tribe of warriors in history.

Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu was not found until 1911, a whole civilization that was hidden in the Andes, one of life’s mysteries and now one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The archaeologists found 160 women skeletons and none of them where men.
There is no connection with Greek story about the Amazon warrior woman or the American Indian woman. The name of the Amazon was given by the Spaniard people who arrived in the middle ages. They went to explore the rainforest to look for the Gold City they had heard about.
The Gold City was never found but when they arrived into the lower land of the rainforest they meet a gigantic river and were attacked by a tribe of warrior woman. The Spaniards met the ancient Amazon warrior instead of gold and named this big river Amazon River.
Sierra's First Journey to Machi Pucchi
My own journey to Peru was a profound awakening to my growth spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. It was an amazing trip that fed me the spiritual food that I was craving, the connection to our ancestors and sisters, the Amazon Women and the Higher Priestess within me.
This magical place speaks to you, the spirits come alive and answers are found. As Freddy the medicine man would say “keep your wings in” you just want to fly, jump off the cliff and soar like the condor eagle. You feel so alive, free and detached from the mundane busy world. It is as if you died and came back. And as you all know my story, I have and this is one experience that is equal to it. It is an experience you will never forget and a story to tell your grandchildren to keep the Amazon Goddess Warrior alive in lore and legend.
