In the future...exact dates to be announced...

Sanctuary Retreat hosts a few weeks of spiritual nourishment, growth, sharing and blessings… Returning to share with us is Cecilia Montero……


The Inca Spiritual Tradition speaks of our times as the Age of Renewal, as one of the opportunities to find new avenues for development of spiritual gifts hidden in the pleats of consciousness.

The Ancestral Sound of the Inca culture has been passed to Maria Cecilia Montero by her Peruvian maternal great-grandmother through teachings of silence. This sound, she was taught, carries the blessings of the grandmothers and the grandfathers of her tradition, who are the Keepers of the Sacred Sound of Mother Earth.

The silence and wisdom within the Sound of the Earth envelops and heals the wounds of the soul and nurtures the gifts we all have brought to this incarnation from times immemorial. The powerful presence of the silence within Mother Earth is able to penetrate the deepest core . . .

RIMANACUY INKARI is a meditation process facilitated by the Ancestral Sound that awakens the Golden Brain to help us remember who we are. The Seed of Silence contained in this sound comes from the Inca Temple in Lake Titicaca, the home of the Feminine Ray of Spiritual Attainment.

The time has begun to recreate and heal ourselves from the trauma of separation. We have always been sacred and united in oneness but we have forgotten.

In the Inca Tradition, “Sami” are coherent waves of Intelligent Creative Force that guides Life Energy. The “Primal Sami Sound” is a collective original force that unites all Indigenous peoples of Earth regardless of creed or race. We are all indigenous to some place on Earth.

When we listen to the sounds Cecilia utters, we will all have an opportunity to listen with our souls and activate our seeds of Light of Great Beings. We then can bring forth our own version of Sacredness in a way that the Masters of Light guide us to express it.

Cecilia blends the unconditional love, "munay" and the sharing, "ayni" of the Inca Tradition to create a unique approach to healing, sharing and synthesizing. The sounds she emits help connect people with the creative aspects of themselves, as well as to become current with their needs of the soul. Through this sound is woven the movement of PACHAMAMA, Mother Earth, and INTI, the Sun, as they come together and apart. They are here to guide your inner process, to help you remember your holiness and wisdom and harmonize with all aspects of yourself.

During her many years of practice as a psychotherapist in the USA and Peru, Cecilia Montero has crossed interdisciplinary boundaries to synthesize a new and powerful therapeutic approach. Her gifts of refined perceptual abilities of the subtle senses, handed down to her by her maternal great-grandmother of Inca heritage, are the cornerstone of her uniqueness as well as her integration of them into the practice of psychotherapy. She has been teaching meditation and synthesis mind processes using her primal sound and her special ability to discern frequency bands and tonal disharmonies in the higher mind that take place when dis-ease is present.

We will be offering meditation classes, seminars and private sessions.

 

Private Sessions

These sessions involve therapeutic states of applied awareness to assist in harmonizing cerebral activity, organizing the central channel and activating the seed of higher mind, what Cecilia calls the “Golden Brain”

The Golden Brain program addresses higher vibratory rate shifts and their harmonious interaction with the nervous system and all body systems. Sessions are approximately 45 minutes in length. Sessions will be available on June 23rd, 25th and 26th. There are limited sessions available.
