Her background in cultural anthropology and environmental studies led her to co-founding EPIC Education, an organization dedicated to shifting the global relationship with our natural world to one of sustainability and stewardship. Jennifer has made pilgrimages to sacred sites around the world including Nepal, China, the Yucatan, the Serengeti of Tanzania, and the Okavango Delta in Botswana. She has also journeyed to Sedona, Egypt and Peru with Sedona Soul Adventures, with each trip dramatically impacting her life course and deepening her connection with Spirit.
Jennifer developed her passion for the Andes while living and traveling in Ecuador and Colombia during her junior year in college, then went on to write her senior thesis on Peruvian author Jose Maria Arguedas. She journeyed to Peru for the first time with Sedona Soul Adventures in 2008 and there she rediscovered her passion for the magnificent Apus, the mountains of the Andes. Jennifer is thrilled by this opportunity to collaborate with Jorge Luis Delgado as he leads the group through sacred sites and ceremonies in the beautiful and mystical land of Peru.
Author, Shaman & Peruvian Guide
Jorge Luis Delgado is an internationally recognized teacher of Inca spirituality and a modern Inca chacaruna. The founder and owner of Kontiki Tour Company, he effortlessly blends being a businessman and family man with performing powerful Inca ceremonies. Jorge Luis works with Andean priests and many groups of indigenous peoples. In addition to his native Spanish, Jorge Luis speaks English fluently, as well as three indigenous languages of Peru. He has built several hotels in Cusco and on the shores of Lake Titicaca and has a vast collection of antique textiles and artifacts, which he is currently organizing into a museum at Taypikala Hotel, Cusco.
Jorge Luis has been interviewed by journalists in Europe and North America as a recognized authority on Inca philosophy and traditions. The BBC featured him in a documentary production of "Everyman” and he is often interviewed for local television programs in Peru. He has also represented the Inca Nation when elders of North, Central and South America have gathered. Jorge Luis was the guide for Don Miguel Ruiz (the author of “The Four Agreements”) when Don Miguel visited Peru and he and Jorge remain in close contact. Jorge has also hosted and remains in close contact with such notables as ‘Bo’ Bingham, grandson of Hiram Bingham (the American who re-discovered Machu Picchu). Another friend is David Childress, author of the Lost Cities Series. In his recently released book Andean Awakening: An Inca Guide to Mystical Peru, Jorge opens the door to his mystical homeland as he describes his own journey of awakening. You will want to read his book as you plan and prepare for this journey. Purchase it here on Amazon.com
