Elder Juan Gabriel Apaza Lonasco

Juan Gabriel Apaza Lunasco is a well-respected indigenous elder of the Qero nation in the high Andes of Peru. He is a pampamisayoq paco who’s mission is dedicated to sharing ancestral wisdom and traditional ceremony to heal at all levels: from individuals like us, to Mother Earth herself. This has guided him to travel internationally for over fifteen years, spreading his cultural traditions and engaging with leaders of various indigenous nations throughout the world. Juan Gabriel’s dream is to build the Tawantinsuyu Eco-Temple, in order to provide sacred space to encourage indigenous coalitions at a global level. He will be offering personal ceremonies and tea leaf readings.
