Beloved Pachakuti Mesa Tradition community,
This month we are honoring the creation of Apachetas and their ability to bring people together in reverent, prayerful ceremony to remember our relationships with all life through offerings of gratitude. Physically, apachetas are piles of rocks, or cairns. They are found throughout the Andes and mark the high points of mountain passes from whence all water flows downward, nurturing the landscape. Much more than this, apachetas are understood as guardians and teachers, as powerful allies and relatives. Like the apus, which their graceful stone stru
cture mirrors, they channel energy from the heavens into our beloved Mother Earth.
By yourself or with friends and family, now is the perfect time to begin practicing the art of apacheta building.
Honoring Pachamama,
Cindy, Michele, Marin and Amy

Featured Teacher
Garry Caudill began his journey on this path in 1998 while living in Chicago, participating in a 7-weekend apprenticeship with don Oscar. The following year he moved to Boulder, Colorado and began to sponsor don Oscar to teach weekend workshops in that area. Deepening his commitment through travel to Peru, Guatemala and Mexico, his formal studies with don Oscar culminated in a four-year intensive apprenticeship completed in 2007. Garry volunteered and became a board member of the THOTH Foundation. He led donor trips to the Las Piedras area in Peru, and a pilgrimage to Palenque as well. Soon after the launch of the Sanctioned Teacher Program in 2009, Garry began facilitating Five-part Apprenticeships in the Boulder area, beginning in 2010.
Garry has now retired from the corporate world after a long career as a sales, marketing and business leader. He is focused on creating community for like-minded souls in the Muyu Ayllu. He enjoys time in mamapacha and maintaining the apacheta network for his local community, hosting seasonal equinox and solstice ceremonies. Garry and Lisa recently moved to a new home in Lafayette where he enjoys cycling and skiing for relaxation.
