Ayllusuyu is an organization based on the Teachings of Peru. The words, ayllu, and suyu,
are from the Quechua language, one of the native tongues of Peru. Ayllu is community and
suyu is region. Ayllu is the perfect word for community ! " after all, isn#t that what
community is$ As best as one can translate Quechua, Ayllusuyu is to convey the meaning of
the region of communities together. The focus and vision of Ayllusuyu has always been, is
now, and will continue to be that of guiding people to the highest, deepest, purest
embodiment of who and what they really are.
The Teachings are the heart of the guidance given. That can ta%e many forms. &ealings,
wor%shops, guidance, classes, e'periential tal%s, private individual sessions and readings in
person and on the phone, past life (ourneys, gatherings, and ceremonies are the ways it is
brought forth. And, of course, the (ourneys to Peru. The wor%shops, classes, e'periential
tal%s, gatherings, and ceremonies can be created for a private group as well as the (ourneys
to Peru. &ealing happens in all of them because all is done with )acred !ntent.
*ords can#t ever really, truly convey what this is about. A person has to do this to %now it.
The best word ! have been able to come up with to describe this is Quintessence + the pure
highly concentrated essence, the purest or simplest instance, The -ifth .ssence.
To give you a description of what is offered, ! have listed them here. !ndividual healing and
guidance appointments and the readings can be done either on the phone or in the privacy of
your home. The past life (ourneys and perceptual shiatsu must be done in person.
Healing Guidance
The healings wor% with the energetic body itself, going directly to the core. !nstead of
wor%ing so hard to ma%e changes within yourself, you can reveal the hidden aspects of self.
!t may be that a person may find a wisp, unseen, un%nown, unspo%en, buried deep within
himself or herself. /y bringing that wisp up into The 0ight, that person discovers healing has
happened. 1ften then, a person will say, ! didn#t consciously %now that was there. ! didn#t
%now that the vague feeling underneath everything else was the very thing that had to be
healed so ! could go to the ne't level. That could be because of beliefs2teachings that had
been given, by vows ta%en in other lives, agreements made with one#s self to hide certain
facets as well as others. *hen a person is engaging life through all aspects of self, one can
move in life freely, intact because the person can now en(oy the gifts of all he or she is. This
is not the lower body#s auric fields. The energetic body is that of the whole cloth of the
energetic itself. *hen one goes directly to the energetic, one then can ma%e another choice
about what is and how it is manifested in that person#s life.
Perceptual Shiatsu
3ears ago, ! was certified in shiatsu, the practice of wor%ing with the meridian lines in the
body. /y activating points of the meridian lines, the flows can be opened. Throughout the
years, the original shiatsu training ! received has evolved through the wor%ing of the
energetic body itself. *hile still wor%ing with the meridian lines, the perceptual guidance !
receive is brought into that wor%. !n this way, it goes beyond (ust the deepening points of
the meridians, it wor%s with the meridians as a part of the energetic body itself. *hatever is
present in the meridians and the branches that come from them are wor%ed, thus, removing
bloc%ages, freeing the energy flow.
Past ife Journeys
*hen )pirit, the -orce of 0ife in a human body, leaves the physical body, it can choose to
enter a new physical body. All the %nowledge of the lives the people it once was comes with
it into its new incarnation. That %nowledge can be accessed through (ourneying into the
lives. !t can be that some event in the past, recent or long+past, is the source of some
pattern evident in your life today. *hile the physical event cannot be changed, the way it
wove into the energetic body can and does impact on your life today. /y coming to %now
what that source is can change a person#s life today and forever. *hen past+life (ourneying,
it is important to %now that you, the person alive today, is not responsible for what a person
in another life did. 3ou are only responsible to use that %nowledge for the 4reater 4ood
now. 3ou are not that person The only common bond that is that )pirit that gives the
-orce of 0ife to your human body today is the same one that gave the -orce of 0ife to that
person in his or her day. ! am only a guide in this (ourney with you. ! don#t tell you where
you are, when you are, or what you are. That way, what you come to %now you realize is
true because you, yourself, found that out. 3ou do that by observing only, not engaging in
any way that life you are perceiving.
!irect "eadings
These readings are guidance given directly from The )acred 1nes of 0ight to you. !t is not
channeling. ! am simply the conduit through which the guidance is given. ! give what ! get.
*hile 5uestions can be as%ed throughout the reading, 5uite often, the answers are given
before the 5uestion is as%ed. All you have to do is form your !ntent for the reading to
yourself, nothing more.
Animal Guidance "eadings
"sing a dec% of animal guidance cards, energetically your guides and you are brought
together. There are three ways this is done6
# Past$ Present$ and %uture "eading6 -our cards are drawn for you. The first three show
you who the guides were, are, and will be in The Past, The Present, and The Possible -uture.
The fourth card is you. This shows you how you are engaging life in The Present, through
the energetic impact of The Past, creating The Possible -uture. As the future cannot be
predicted because it is always changing as a result of what we do in thought, word, and
action in the present, it is called The Possible -uture.
# &irth Guides6 At your birth, nine guides came with you. .ach one carried a facet of who
and what you are. Together, they brought the guidance for each and every aspect of your
life. !n %nowing who your guides are, you are now aware of who wal%s with you.

# Guidance "eading6 A 4uidance 7eading calls on all of the guides, as%ing who will come
for you to help you through a present+day situation.
The Journeys to Peru
1ver the years, people have as%ed me what ma%es the (ourneys to Peru with us different
than going with others. 1ur !ntent is simply this )acred !ntent. *e don#t go as tourists.
*e have heard the calling of The 8ountains, of The 9ungles, of Peru itself. *e go where the
!nca and the .lders of the native people have been and still are. *e go to the ancient sacred
places where the embodiment of The 0ight pulses now as it did when those places first came
to be. *e go with The !ntent of receiving guidance from the 8ountains and wherever else we
go in Peru. There are no e'pectations as to how that guidance will come. )imply the
perception that what you are doing is becoming the state of being by showing up and
stepping in. That#s all, nothing else is as%ed of you. 9ourneys to Peru with our groups or
designed for your group are offered. -or those who %now that it is time to go to higher
ground, we offer private (ourneys. That would be (ust you and me and The )acred 1nes of
0ight. As with all our (ourneys to Peru, give me a call and we can tal% about all this.
Wor'shops
*e offer five series of wor%shops. As dates are set, an e+mail will be sent out.
(ntroduction to The Ancient Sacred Teachings of Peru and &eyond
3ou are much more than what the story of your life wants you to
believe you are.
This wor%shop is your introduction to the energetic healing ways of the Peruvian shaman. 9oin us as
we meet those who dwell in the )acred 8ountains and 9ungles. Through sacred (ourneys, The )acred
1nes of 0ight guide you in discovering who you really are. The healing happens when you consciously
reveal aspects of yourself that have been buried. This will and does change the way you are in the
world and with yourself. !n this way, you fly freely, filling yourself with Pure 0ight, 0ife, 0ove, and
Peace. !t may be that you have traveled through The 8edicine *heel or done other wor% with us. !t
may be that you have been to Peru with us. This wor%shop is for everyone. !t can help you
remember what you have forgotten. !t can strengthen what you already %now. *hether you are new
to this &igh Path of 0ight or have been with us for some time, it#s always good to be in sacred
ceremony together. This meets in one four+day wee%end :Thursday to )unday.;
)nergetics Weavers
1ne of the many treasures of the !nca is their weavings. !t is easily seen in their
beautiful cloths. They are *eavers of The .nergetics as well.
This series is to give you those teachings so that you can become a *eaver of The .nergetic.
<nowing that The .nergetic, Pure .nergy before -orm, is the raw stuff of creation. !t is there that all
is created first with the physical manifestation being the end result. The events of life are the results
of what has happened at the .nergetic. *hen one can read the energetics, one can perceive what
is really going on beyond the story of life. These teachings are designed to show you ways to access
the .nergetic and utilize it in your everyday life, merging the non+ordinary with the ordinary. !n this
way, you are truly serving all. This two+year (ourney meets two times per year in two four+day
wee%ends.
*onscious +nowledge Teachings
=onscious <nowledge actively ac%nowledges The >ow of 0ight )pirit *ithin too%
before it was ever born into any physical body to be the >essel of 0ight you are.
!t may be that you are already wor%ing in a Path of 0ight. The =onscious <nowledge teachings wor%
with many forms that you %now are possible, but have not the training to bring them into the world
impeccably. These teachings provide the conscious training that will bring what you have always
%nown intuitively into physical forms you can actively use. *e wor% with the deepest principles of the
essential, through embodiment, the energetic itself. This helps you consciously do that %nowing what
you?re doing so that no harm is done. 8ore harm has been done by people who intuitively %new what
to do, but did not have any conscious actual training to do it. This course can help you to ta%e your
wor% to the deeper and higher aspects you %now it can be. ! will tell you, however, that, by signing
up, you truly are placing yourself into impeccable service by getting the training that will serve you
and all others in whatever you do. This two+year (ourney meets two times per year in two five+day
segments :*ednesday to )unday.;
,uintessence Ancient Teachings
&ow do we bring this Quintessence into the physical world$ The
<aypacha, the energetic grid of the Pachamama, 8other .arth, is where the
flow of the energies is. These pathways are the segues. )aways are the
pathways for the flow of the star or pacha energetics into the segues.
!n the Quintessence teachings, we observe the global consciousness by tapping into the <aypacha.
!n this way, we perceive the segues in the 4rid of the <aypacha as well as the saways that intersect
with them. They meet at what we call nodes or center points. This is where we wor% and with what
we are wor%ing. This is more real and actual than anything you have done before. The work itself and its results
are physically tangible, not just felt through the perceptual energetic. At one time when we did this, within one day,
for the first time in many years, Afghanistan permitted The Red Cross to come in. That happened because this was
not done through the personal, as any of us would have things be, but rather as what would serve the greater good
well beyond any one person, place, or thing. Our Code of ife is !what " do for myself, " do for the greater good, not
because it serves me only, but because it serves us all.# $o be it. This is a seven-day workshop (Monday to
Sunday).
-n Higher Grounds
1n &igher 4rounds is that (ourney from deep within the heap of old stuff that no
longer wor%s or serves, lighting the way up to the top, helping you to discover
that you always had the choice of flight. *hen you have reached The -oothills of
The )acred 8ountains, you are now on your way to the top of the mountain
creating the good, solid, strong foundation that you always %new was possible on
your way up.
1n &igher 4rounds guides you through the valley you have dwelt in and are dwelling in now. This is
your life as it has been and is now. The events in your life from birth can cause the weave of your
original energetic cloth to become tangled. *hen that happens, the way you are in the world can
become a construct of what others have given you to build yourself. This (ourney through the valley
helps you to see what is yours and is not and to give what is not bac% to those who gave those
teachings to you with love, gratitude, and compassion. 1nce clear of the village, you can now go up
the valley because you are no longer carrying the energetic weight of the past. *hen you have
cleared away the wisps of old teachings at the "n%nown, the "nseen, and the "nspo%en, you can live
your 0ife as you %now it can be. Then you are free to feel the 0ove that has always been within you.
3ou are at Peace within. 3ou feel =ompassion for others because you have given it to yourself. This
two+year (ourney meets two times per year in two four+day wee%ends :Thursday to )unday.;
Gathering in your home
3ou can ma%e the choice of the type of gathering you would li%e6
A 9ourney to Peru, Private 7eadings, =learing of the .nergetic /ody, or All of !t@
!nvite a group of your friends and family to your home and ! will come to your home.
%or The Journey to Peru$ in the private setting of your home, we will (ourney to Peru,
where you will meet the Apus :The 8ountains; and the 9ungles as well as the )acred 1nes of
0ight who stand at the -our =orners of The )acred =ha%ana, The )acred *heel of 0ight.
Aiscover who your Primal )elf is. 4ain the guidance of Peru right in your own home. After
the (ourney is complete, clearing of the .nergetic /ody or a reading is possible in private for
anyone who would li%e it.
%or the reading party$ while you and your friends are en.oying each other/s
company, the readings are done in a private room for each person individually.
A0out the clearing of The )nergetic &ody, the concerns of your everyday life can be li%e
lint caught on your clothes. That lint can weigh down your energetic body, causing it to be
less intact. A clearing can remove that lint, so your energetic body returns to its intact
state, clear and bright. This, too, is done in a private room for each person individually.
These parties can be a lot of fun because you get to spend time with your friends and family.
At the same time, each of you benefit from the (ourney to Peru and the clearing and at the
reading party as well. 3ou, along with your friends and family, can gain guidance through
each of these gatherings. There is no cost to the person who is hosting the party, as it is my
gift to him2her for having the gathering or party.
The pricing for some of the services is listed here. The fees for the gatherings,
ceremonies, wor%shops, classes, and e'periential tal% are based on location and length of
time of the event. As to any of these as well as (ourneys to Peru for a private group, we can
tal% about what you want and then ! can give you what the fee would be. As to the (ourneys
to Peru, the pricing for them is based on where we are going, how long we will be in Peru as
well as many other factors. *hen a Peru (ourney is announced, the pricing is included in that
message.

-ran 7usso is a shaman2curandera wor%ing in the tradition of the Peruvian shamans.
)he is a *eaver of the .nergetics, pampa misa in Quechua, one of the native languages
of Peru. Perceiving the energetic body of a person or place, through its color, sound,
feel, weight, te'ture and more, -ran is guided to the healing in whatever form best
serves. !n this way, the person or place is free to find and follow the natural flow of his
or her path. *hile -ran could manifest the healing for you, she won#t unless she is
guided to do so. )he is a guide helping you to remember the healing within you so you
can do it.
*hen she was a child, -ran was introduced to the world of intuition by her first teacher, her
grandmother. -ran then wor%ed with Morth American natives as well as )outh American elders. -ran
travels e'tensively in Peru, wor%ing with both the shamans of the Andean mountains and of the
Amazon. There she has learned the ancient ways of the Q#ero elders, the direct descendants of the
ancient !ncans. *or%ing in the ancient traditions for many years, -ran helps others to energetically
release and transform self into the strength of true self, spinning (oy into life.
Through television, radio, wor%shops, groups, individual healing and guidance sessions, and (ourneys
to Peru since FCCI, -ran brings the ancient teachings of Peru. -ran#s organization, Ayllusuyu, serves
