At our 2021 opening ceremony, Papa Don Martin spoke emphatically:
“We are not opening a new school:
WE ARE REOPENING THE ANCIENT SCHOOL OF PACHAMAMA!”
IN THIS SCHOOL YOU WILL LEARN:
Authentic Q'ero Protocols
The Q’ero have retained the purity of their cultural foundations in the face of Western encroachment; they still practice and teach the old ways of sacred exchange with Nature.
You will learn the four authentic protocols of the Q'ero Paqos:
1) WAHARIQUY-Power to Invoke
2) PHUKURIQUY: Gain Right to Receive
3) MAÑARIQUY-Make Successful Requests
4) HAYWARIQUY-Authentic Structure of a Q'ero Offering (despacho)
True Q'ero Healing
True Healing begins with your complete identity. Discover your Nature Parents--your Mother Water & Father Mountain--who hold the keys to your destiny. Feel the infinite love of the most generous and tender mother of all- Pachamama. Learn the authentic and profound healing teachniques of the Q'ero Paqos.
1) PICHAY-Cleansing
2) KALPACHAQUY-Empowerment
3) ANIMO WAHAY-Restoring the full life force of the bubble (energy field) that has been displaced due to shock or trauma.
The Q'ero Misha
Discover your Sacred Geography as you learn how to create your Misha (mesa) the Q'ero "mother bundle." Q'ero Paqos create their Misha by performing 12 Pilgrimages to their 12 RUAL KUNA or Nature Being Allies. Under their guidance you will do the same, activating the sacred nature that surrounds you where you live. Each pilgrimage actuates the re-sacralization of your home environment as you gain the right to access the power of Nature in order to heal yourself and your community. Learn to become a true Paqo, defined by Papa Don Martin as "A Human Bridge to Nature."
“The GPS school with Elizabeth, Fredy (translator), and our 12 Q’ero Paqos has been more than words can explain. My understanding of the Andean traditions has allowed me to tap even more deeply into my abilities and gifts. I feel more connected to my ancestors and nature beings, and I have healed on a profound level. I now have a deeper awareness of myself, and much more prosperity in my life. The Q’ero healing sessions have helped me heal deep past traumas, and my connection to the other worlds has increased in a tangible way.” —Erica M., Concord, CA
With everything that is going on in the world now, you might feel…
Isn’t there more to life? Am I fulfilling my true purpose?
Overworked with no time to yourself?
A lack of energy and vitality?
Stressed about the direction of your life?
A need for a community that offers real connection, a true organic spiritual path!
If so, it's okay. We got you!
The Global Paqo School is the only school on the planet that offers weekly access to 18 of the most knowledgeable Paqos of Hatun Q’eros, the Heart of the Q’ero Nation. Learn how to open the wisdom of the heart, and trust new ways of being that are not taught in the common Western education. Experience an inner knowing like never before that lasts. Be forever changed and feel deeply soul supported, all-ways.
Turn your troubles into power with the deep, ancient, and pristine wisdom of the Q’eros.
A Time of Great Transition
Navigating the ups and downs of life in modern society is hectic, overwhelming and oftentimes depressing. There is no need to chase fleeting moments of joy when true deep peace and happiness is possible through the beautiful, sacred teachings of the Q’eros. Let yourself experience the healing power of connecting to nature.
The Teachings of the Q’eros Help Us
There are living energies all around us, and when we connect with these energies, we discover that they are deeply healing and loving - forever and always available.
Like the sacred blessing you receive when you purchase one of the Q’eros' magnificent weavings, you also receive the powerful, transformative love that you so deserve, through GPS while at the same time supporting this ancient culture, so that it too may flourish.
Transform your fear-based state of consciousness into one of trust and personal responsibility. Feel deeply supported in your life. Learn a true alternative to our Western cultures’ exploitative relationship with Nature.

A Visceral Knowing
“Taking Elizabeth’s Mama Q’epi (first 12 week session of GPS) class was one of the most important teachings I have ever received. Through weekly pilgrimages making offerings to get to know the nature beings around me, I feel forever changed and so much more deeply supported. This embodied practice in a small group setting shifted my intellectual understanding of the importance of right relationship into a visceral knowing that will always be with me. Thank you Elizabeth! If you are feeling called to this class, I encourage you to trust yourself and go for it!”

Clarity and Balance
“To have the opportunity to learn directly from the Qero teachers in such an intimate format with the guidance of Elizabeth's deep wisdom and respect has been a dream come true for me. Engaging weekly has kept me focused and brought me so much clarity and balance, opening in me the deepening engagement with nature that I have yearned for all of my life.”
Feel the Love of Pachamama
Pachamama, the Loving Mother, can help you come into a deep knowing that you are a part of nature. That you are inherently worthy of love, peace, and harmony in all areas of your life.
What's Special about the Global Paqo School?
The Global Paqo school is extraordinary in that you have the opportunity to learn the ch’uya or “pure” Q’ero wisdom, as dictated and revealed to us by the Masters themselves in their own words — the Q’ero from Hatun Q’eros (Heart of their Nation) are some of the only remaining authentic teachers of the Ancient Inka Nature Wisdom Tradition.
Guaranteed authentic, culturally-based, oral tradition teachings. Our wise, patient, humble, and talented Q’ero Paqos and Ñust’a Paqos guide you in every step of your training. They are always available for any questions you may have. The knowledge taught in the GPS will probably be different from what you have previously learned as “Q’ero or Inkan Shamanism,” and we welcome students from all backgrounds and previous studies in the Andean Path and/or any other spiritual tradition.
“The yearlong training with the Global Paqo School is an opportunity of a lifetime!” —MC Smith, Park City, UT
Who is this for?
The Global Paqo School is a year-long program for those who are:
-Deeply committed to learning true healing through Nature
-Able to commit to showing up every week for 36 weeks over the year
-Ready to experience real transformation in their lives.
You go through the entire program with the same group of students (your Paqo Pod) - new friends from all over the world. This adds to the richness of your experience and gives you the opportunity to create trusted relationships. The intention is for all to feel empowered and inspired to share your growth, your challenges, and your learning together.
It is every student's responsibility and commitment to be present for each session.
Our world has reached a critical tipping point. With environmental, social, and spiritual crises spiraling out of control, many people can be overwhelmed and not know what to do. If you are feeling that you aren’t making a difference in the world, unfulfilled in your purpose, that there is no more real fun in life, disconnected from the earth and nature, and like you’ve lost hope in the world, take back your power. And know that you are fulfilling the Prophecy of the Andean Masters by participating in The Great Exchange.

The Global Paqo School supports the Q’ero People, creating a valuable exchange for their ancestral teachings. They teach you their Nature Wisdom, and in return, you get precisely the wisdom you need.

Opportunity of a Lifetime
“The Global Paqo School is an opportunity of a lifetime. As a longtime student and Paqo on the Andean path, the experience was truly exceptional. What sets Elizabeth Jenkins and the Global Paqo School apart is the direct teaching from the Qero themselves via an exceptional translator. As students, we drank directly from the well of knowledge of the Qero masters and the yearlong course allowed me to deeply integrate the teachings and practices into my everyday life. I have a profound, deep, rich connection with supreme Mother Nature, the Apus and Ñustas and my life is filled with their generous wisdom, nectar and healing forces.

Reignited Gifts
“The yearlong course helped to deepen my understanding of the Andean Worldview. This in turn strengthened my relationship with my Nature Beings and reignited gifts that had been dormant. I am so grateful to Elizabeth, Fredy, and all the amazing Paqos for their time, wisdom, and teachings. It is an honor to be a part of this Ayllu.”
Nessa D.

Life-Changing Inspiration
“I felt like a nervous 'newbie' on the course, but soon discovered my worries were totally unfounded. This course gave me an in-depth grounding into many aspects of the tradition, as well as the end result of creating my own Mama Ke'pi. The zoom meetings became a highlight of my week, as the support of the other Paqos was both nourishing and insightful. Elizabeths’ holding of space together with her wisdom, vibrancy and humor were incredible. This course became a real source of courage and life changing inspiration for me during a very personally challenging time. With deep gratitude to Elizabeth, the Qero and the amazing Paqo participants.
