Certain places on earth can serve as powerful aids in outer and inner journeying. I have been taking groups to Peru and Bolivia since 1999 when I attended my first shamanic conference at Lake Titicaca. It was organised by Jorge Luis Delgado and there were Andean cosmologists, coca leaf readers and shamans from around South America. We were lead in sacred ceremonies by local shamans and the opening of the fourth 11.11 gate at the interdimensional doorway. We also worked with Pacha Mama (Mother Earth) and the Apus (Mountain Spirits).

The experience was so amazing and the people so beautiful, that I was inspired to share this with others by taking groups. Upon arrival each year we are greeted with "Welcome Home" and it really does feel like you are answering a call to return.
We travel in small groups by plane, train, private boats and buses, with our own guides and interpreters. We visit some of the major sacred sites such as Machu Picchu, Cusco & Sacred Valley, home of the ancient mystery schools. Also Lake Titicaca with its Islands of the Sun & Moon, Peace & Love and Uros Floating Reed Islands, plus Tiwanaku, Sillustani, Copacopana, Aramu Muru Doorway, Nazca Lines, Amazon and more; where we work with local shamans joining them in ceremony and meditations.
Their wisdom and feeling is inherited from generations of this work with the Earth.

Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the local villages and market places where you will be tempted to buy hand-woven alpaca wool rugs and clothes, hand crafted jewellery and unique artefacts at very reasonable prices. The sounds of the Andean music will resonate in your memory forever.
We stay in a variety of accomodation from mostly 4 star hotels to rooms in the villager's homes, thus meeting the colourful local people and experiencing their generosity.

Usually we go on these journeys for approximately 3-4 weeks including travel time and the itinerary changes each year. Sometimes we stop over at Easter Island for a few days, sometimes we visit the Nazca area and fly over the Nazca Lines, or we visit Bolivia or the Amazon Rainforest.
My friend Antony Taggert from Melbourne, Australia bought a run-down zoo near Iquitos in the Amazon of Peru several years ago and has transformed it to rehabilitate animals illegally poached from the rainforest. He also educates the local indigenous people about the importance of looking after the habitat for future generations rather than making a quick buck by selling the animals to tourists.

I support him by giving 10% of the profits from these trips to Zoo Peru. If you would like to support his work you may do so via his website.

Easter Island is known by the locals as Rapa Nui and is famous for its huge stone statues. On my first visit to this tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean between Tahiti and Chile, I met and stayed with Anna, who was as a young girl, guide to Thor Heyerdahl when he was studying there. He was the famous archeologist/explorer who set out to prove that the ancient Incas from Peru, Equador and Chile could have built reed boats and travelled across to Easter Island. He was responsible for the Kon-Tiki Expedition and had a raft built from the Lake Titicaca reeds and sailed across in 101 days. He also spent several years there researching the giant stone statues and stone work and found amazing links with pre Inkan Peru. Today there is a strong Polynesian influence in the local culture. The tiny triangle shaped island has a volcano on each corner, with lakes in their craters and over 20,000 archeological sites.

The month I spent in Peru with Judy and the group was one of the most amazing times in my life. The energy of the place and the unbelievably kind people who reside there is something that just has to be experienced. It was a stark reminder that we all need to unclutter our lives. We spent a month hiking to Spiritual sites with Shaman, doing ceremony and meeting some amazing local people. The conference at the Lake Titicaca had about 250 people from all over the world and many local Shaman, all gathered together for one purpose - to activate the golden solar disc. I met some really amazing people at the conference and I have kept in close contact with them. The experience was just too great to really describe in words. Even the food was unbelievable, it was such a high energy it didn’t take much to sustain you. I lost a bunch of weight (emotional and physical) and feel so much better for it. Since being home and back at work, everything is different. I highly recommend taking a power place journey with Judy, you will never be the same again.

We will be guests of Bob Randall, an Anangu elder, story teller and songwriter who lives at Mutitjulu Community at the base of Uluru. Bob was 1999 Indigenous Person of the year. His song “My brown skin baby they take him away” is more popular now than 40 years ago and is often used as the theme song for The Stolen Generation. The ABC has published a book about Bob called 'Songman'. An excellent read. Recently Bob featured in a film called 'Kanyini'. This award winning documentary is not only a story of one man and his people, but the human race. It is also a story that is fundamental for understanding contemporary Australia, for only by knowing our past and present can we dream of a future which includes everyone.

Experience a day with Anangu traditional owners out on their lands, learning about local culture and the 'Tjukurpa' (traditional law/lore), bush tucker and medicines. This is a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and interact with the local people and see how they survive in this harsh environment. Depending on the season you visit the area, you could experience digging for witchetty grubs, eating bush lollies, drinking grevillea 'lemonade' or eating honey ants. You will also see how to make 'Kiti' (spinifex glue) and its many uses, as well as learn about the many medicinal plants in the area.

Walk around the base of the rock while listening to stories of the Dreamtime. A lot of visitors come to Uluru just to climb the rock and view the sunset, but the Anangu prefer that we don’t climb, suggesting that we walk around the base instead.  It makes the locals sad that visitors swarm like ants over the tracks of their ancestors simply to get to the top. There is much more to be learnt by visiting the sites around the base of Uluru including rock art sites.
You will also be guided through the brilliant desert night sky with stories from a variety of cultures from around the world and will learn to recognize some of the constellations & planets and gain a greater insight into our place in space. Geoff, who will be your guide has experience as a ranger & a tour guide at Uluru, as well as a night sky guide for the 'Sounds of Silence' several years ago.

Walk the Valley of the Winds and Olga Gorge at Kata Tjuta, visit the Cultural Centre at Uluru and experience a sunset BBQ with views of Uluru and Kata Tjuta with Bob and Barbara Randall on their land.
Visit Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon) and walk the rim to places like the Garden of Eden and the Lost City, plus Kings Creek Station. Also visit the East and West MacDonnell Ranges with places such as Simpson's Gap, Ormiston Gorge, Ellery Creek Bighole, Standley Chasm, Trephina Gorge, Jessie & Emily Gaps etc. Also Alice Springs & the Desert Park, galleries, museums etc. and spend a day with a traditional healer or Nungkari, Frank Ansell, where everyone who wishes will receive a healing and jar of his bush medicine to take home with them.
We will be staying in self-contained cabins at Yulara Campground, Kings Canyon Resort and Alice Springs Holiday Park and there will be free time to do your own thing like scenic flights and Camel rides, dinner in the desert, Harley rides and swimming in the pools.

Hi Judy
Just wanted to say another thank you to you and Geoff for all you provided on our trip to Uluru.  I had a feeling it would be an amazing journey and it was. Thanks so much for your organisation and the care and love you and Geoff offered from the moment we started out.
Lots of love,
Anne, Sept 2006

To Dear Judy,
Just a note to say THANKYOU for all the work you did in organizing Uluru.  Certainly a wonderful experience and a magical place; highlighted also by Geoff’s knowledge of the area and wonderful stories of myths and legends. A wonderful insight of the stars and planets has inspired me to do more stargazing.  A great experience for the reconnection to our Earth Mother.
With love,
Sandra Sept 2006

Experience the mystery and wonders of Ancient Egypt as we explore places such as The Giza Pyramids & Sphinx, The Cairo Museum, Sakkara and Memphis stepped pyramids, the Temples of Kamak, Philae, Abu Simbel, Abydos, Kom Ombo, Edfu and Dendara.
Did you know that the Temples along The River Nile are actually a physically manifested map of our chakra system, starting from the Base Chakra in the far South to the Crown Chakra in Giza to the North?
We will also visit Mount Sinai, St. Catherines Monastery, The Valley of the Kings and snorkel in the Red Sea.

After I started taking groups to Peru, some of the people that came along asked when I would take them to Egypt. We will travel in small groups by plane, train, bus, cruise ship on the Nile, Feluccas (sail boats) and horse & carriage with our own guide and translator. We will visit the major sacred and beauty sites of this amazing country. The local bazaars (market places) are a real sensory experience with their rich colours, aromatic spices and the sounds of bustling activity.

My interest in Egypt was sparked by a visit in 1979 when my twin brother was with the United Nations Peace Keeping Force over there and I was travelling around Europe. I then went over to Morocco the following year and ended up marrying and staying for a couple of years. It was then that I decided to learn to speak Arabic which is very helpful when travelling around the Middle East.

Due to religious festivals, the unreliability of domestic air scheduling and other unforeseen circumstances, the order of the itinerary may need to change at short notice, as befits a spiritual journey.
