2010 COSMIC HEART AWAKENING JOURNEYS:
Learning how to communicate with Cosmic Nature.
24 August - 4 September 2010
The trip will be facilitated by Elizabeth Bardin from Pringle Bay South
Africa – a psychic channel who has for many years lead sacred site retreats
and journeys to Peru and elsewhere. She does earth connection work with a Master
Lemurian Crystal (and other crystals) and shares a deep commitment to the Earth
and her own evolutionary path.
NB: The group will be kept to a limited number so as to ensure that
everyone receives the necessary energetic, emotional and physical support they
need.
What is so special about the trips in 2010?
The dates chosen above are given to me under guidance to make sure that the trip
will happen at the most auspicious and spiritually awakening times of that year
and be most beneficial for the group and the planet. The two trips scheduled for
2010 have these special features:
June trip:
Our trip starts with the new moon (12th June) and we will end the retreat by the
time of the full moon (26th June). It is also during the very important earth
festival of Winter Solstice in Peru (24th June). This day is celebrated as the
Inti Raymi festival held each year at the Inca Fortress of Sacsayhuaman in the
Inca capital city of CUSCO- celebrated by the people of the Inca as the Festival
of the Sun in honour of the God of the Sun and symbolizes the eternal
consecration of marriage between the Sun and human beings. Under the Inca empire
the festival lasted 9 days attracting people from all over the Inca Empire and
it is now the second largest festival in Latin America with an expected 200 000
people congregating in Cusco!
August trip:
August is known as the best time to go to Peru because of the weather (it has
summer rainfall so in August one is assured that it does not rain and although
it is cool at night, the days are sunny and warm). During this time of our trip
we will have a full moon (24th August) at the beginning of our trip and a new
moon on 8th September (new beginnings) as we return from Peru.

“On the day of the festival, the enactors gather in Koricancha (Temple of
the Sun) in Cusco wearing traditional Inca dress - an array of feathers,
embroidered capes and hat and the Inca in his golden headdress and arm
cuffs. Carrying rainbow flags, bombo drums, sampoña panpipes and quena
flutes, with the emperor on his throne, the procession moves to Auqaypata
(Plaza Mayor) then uphill to Sacsayhuaman. An elaborate display of
