Munay-Ki is the Wisdom of HUMANITY!

Earth Peoples of the world cared for and passed on precious gifts of initiations since the begining of time. Peoples of the Andes and the Amazon are the keepers of this wisdom, and Dr. Alberto Villoldo brought it in its current form to the world for personal, ancestral, and collective healing!

​

​​Munay-Ki term comes from Quechua languages of the peoples of the Andes, and it means the "power of love". We believe that this is exactly what we all need, and what our world needs, universal love, compassionate, inclusive, and gentle. 

​

Even though the Rites as we learn them today were gifted to Dr. Villoldo by the medicine people of the Andes and of the Amazon, the Rites hold energetic seeds universally nurtured by all our ancestors. Every culture on Earth has had healers, ones called to heal themselves and then support and guide others in their healing. They are shamans, medicine people, witches, curanderos, santeros, houngans, mambos, kahunas, swnw, tohunga, ngangkari, sangomas, doctors. Just like every culture has a name for a healer, each culture has initiations for one to become a healer. 

 

The foundation Rites of Munay-Ki connect us to that ancestral wisdom, wisdom of healing. There are four foundation Munay-Ki Rites:

• The Healer’s Rite

• The Bands of Power

• The Harmony Rite

• The Seer’s Rite

 

The Healer's Rite of Munay-Ki awakens the Healer in us and connects us to the ancestors, the lineage of Healers that support and guide us. 

The Bands of Power connect us to the 5 elements and help us cleanse and strengthen our energy field.

The Harmony Rite connects us to the archetypes, helpers from nature who join us energetically and help us recover our instincts for self-care and self-growth.

The Seer’s Rite expands our vision of ourselves and the world by connecting our mind and our heart, so we see with clarity and with love!

​

The Rite of the Womb is the 13th Rite of the Munay-Ki. It frees us from fear and suffering, and invites us to create in balance, harmony, and beauty. We are called to connect with our creative nature and let it guide us and give birth to our own creations, our own medicine!

 

The higher Rites of Munay-Ki connect us to heart-opening wisdom and guidance.

• The Daykeepers Rite

• The Wisdomkeepers Rite

• The Earthkeepers Rite

• The Starkeepers Rite

• The Creation Rite

​

The Daykeepers Rite connects us to the wisdom of those who are called to support their communities. The builders of communities committed to bringing people together to dance, be in ceremony, go to church, meditate, play sports, go hiking, birdwatch, explore nature and connect to our relatives in nature, charity event organizers, the silent ones to whom everyone goes for help, all those who feel called to bring communities together and nurture connection, support, and beauty.

The Wisdomkeepers Rite gives us opportunity to connect to the wisdom places from which we learn and expand our minds and hearts. The wisdom place is our true home, the place from which we grow our own longing and bring that longing to the world.

The Earthkeepers Rite is all the above, journey of personal healing, connection to all the communities around us, learning and listening to our places of wisdom, and seeing our world as one related to everyone.

The Starkeepers Rite invites us to elevate our minds and hearts from Mother Earth to our home in the Stars. As we expand our vision and our longing, we feel like children of the Universe, not bound by space and time but rather interconnected and informed by the greater community beyond Pachamama.

The Creation Rite reminds us of who we are in our true nature, creators of our own lives, our own realities, of our own destinies. It reminds us that everything that begins ends and is reborn again. We learn not only how to create with complete freedom from limiting beliefs and fears but also how to dismantle all that is not needed any more.
