A Life-Affirming Path for Engaging in Our World

You’re well aware that we’re living in chaotic times, where so many of us are experiencing stress, depression, and a loss of life purpose on a daily basis. Additionally, fractures in our communities have left people feeling more scarcity than abundance, and more loneliness than authentic connection.

However, through rare personal connections with authentic master Shamans in The Andes Summit, you’ll restore the peace, love and healing that comes from being in intimate relationship with the great Web-of-Life.

Through these transformative 8 days and 7 nights, you'll:

Increase your Heart, Mind, and Spiritual intuition and perception.
Gain more clarity on your life purpose, with a renewed belief in yourself.
Find healing tools and processes you can use to heal yourself and others.

Experience new levels of liberation through ecstatic dance and music.
Discover powerful insights on myths surrounding indigenous shamanic healing.
Receive sacred wisdom and embody the beauty of South America’s High Andes.

Be inspired to dream big and grow into your greatest potential.
Get familiar with the Indigenous Activism movement.
Grow your connection with the Web-of-Life and respect for the natural world.

Meet the Founder

Itzhak Beery is a leading shamanic teacher, healer, speaker, community activist and author. He is the founder and director of Shaman Portal.

“Last year, I promised my teacher, Taita Don José Joaquin Pinéda, I’d bring the sons and daughters of the Eagles — the people of the North — to learn from the sons and daughters of the Condors and their Yachaks (healers) in their own homes. I’m thrilled that other Shamans (many teachers of mine as well) enthusiastically embraced our vision. Join me and many other seekers from around the world in the consciousness revolution we are all part of. Together, utilizing the shaman’s guiding wisdom as a blueprint, we’ll create a strong global shamanic community for the sake of humanity and future generations on this miraculous planet.”
