IntiWasi is the center I built and run with my partner near Pisac, Peru: three houses with nine bedrooms, a purpose-built ceremony and gathering hall, a greenhouse and gardens, an outdoor kitchen, a sauna, and the river below. Guests come from around the world. The food is grown on the land and bought in the Pisac market, and the days run on a rhythm we keep year-round.
Every month, one house holds the 25-day men’s program, new moon to new moon, year-round. That is the whole of what IntiWasi does, and as far as we know it is the only men’s integration center in the Sacred Valley.
The rooms are simple, warm, and clean: thick blankets, hot water, the valley out the window. Three meals a day at set hours, cooked from the gardens and the market. Nights end around the fire. It’s a farm on a mountainside, not a hotel, and the people who love it love it for exactly that.
We keep a songbook at the center: the songs that get sung around the fire and under the full moon, with chords, so anyone can pick up a guitar and join. It lives here, free.
There is nothing to add. No new course, framework, medication, philosophy. The work is removing: the filth in the body, the filth in the mind, the distractions. When mind and body integrate with the spirit, we remember who we are in our divine perfection. It is time to come home to our hearts and do what is right, without permission or outside validation. This is the work I do on myself every day. My hope is to share the remembering with you, so we wake up together with the sun in our eyes and joy in our hearts.
