Robin is one of the only a few fully trained western Kamasqueras and one of the only women in this field of practice. She was called to the ceremonial work after a decade long struggle with an undiagnosable and untreatable "mystery illness". She has lived and walked the path of the wounded healer. With over 22 years of ceremonial immersion she kindly, compassionately, and expertly guides each client into their own unique power, medicine, and direct connection to the inner healer. Robin has worked with and supported incredible elders from South and North America to learn the medicine ways through direct guidance, observation, and energetic transmission. Robin vast experience in the realms of ceremony, including immersion within the ceremonial ways of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, Huachuma Curanderismo, Ayahuasca Vegetalismo, the Sacred Mushrooms, North American Medicine Wheel and sweat lodge teachings, Theta Healing, new science and wisdom teachings from Earth Honouring European and Egyptian mystery schools. Robin has radically unique training, medicine, and a vast reservoirs of experience, shamanic power, and teachings she generously shares with all who come.
Robin has facilitated well over a thousand ceremonies (and worked with far more clients) from her cross-cultural shamanic practice and in this time she has learned what truly serves and prospers her clients to heal from their own direct connection, resource, and personal empowerment. She reverently weaves the ancient plant spirit medicine ceremonial arts, the beauty of visionary arts, the depth of the mystery school teachings, and the power of personal sovereignty to create a potent healing container.
Robin holds a B.A. in Environmental Studies and Eco-psychology from Naropa University and a Master of Arts in Good and Sustainable Communities from Northern Arizona University. She completed the fieldwork for her master’s thesis “Entheogenic Soul Evolutions” on her first trip to Peru in 2006.
Robin is a sanctioned teacher and mentor in the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of cross cultural shamanism and offers the 5 Part Apprenticeship series with her soulmate and husband, Darcy. This stellar and radically transformative lineage has woven together all of Robin's previous fields of study into a comprehensive whole, rooted within an ancient yet evolutionary lineage of wisdom keepers. It is her great joy and honour to share this with the growing body of mesa carriers and Earth stewards.
Robin and Darcy offer workshops, retreats, and pilgrimages through out the Americas.

Darcy is a gifted and highly trained plant spirit medicine Kamaska Curandero who specializes in sacred plant spirit medicine ceremonies and distance energy medicine. He is a sanctioned teacher of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition and mentors other healers and practitioners globally. Darcy has worked with thousands of clients through his ceremonial and transformational energy work practice. He is tapped into the alive potential within humanity to transform and evolve into ways of living that are supportive of life. He has a deep passion for helping people heal and thrive, and has dedicated many years to training within shamanism, consciousness studies, self-inquiry, and various energy healing modalities.
Over the last 20 years he has been traveling to Peru to study with the Master shamans of the Peruvian Amazon, the high plateaus of the Andean mountains, and coastal Peru in the practice of traditional Curanderismo and Paqokuna shamanism. Eventually Darcy discovered the beautiful Pachakuti mesa lineage of Andean medicine taught by don Oscar Miro-Quesada. He felt very called to begin apprenticeship in this wisdom system, as well as journeying within the Pachakuti teacher’s path. Darcy has been astounded and astonished at the beauty, the majesty, and the incredible potential for these ancient Andean energies to transform and awaken consciousness in our lifetime. He is honoured to be able to be in service to the beauty of this lineage.
Darcy's synergetic ceremonial practice is an expression of his love for life and spirit. This practice is characterized by his love of learning, fearless curiosity, playful sense of humour, and kindness. Darcy is committed to support as many people as possible in this planetary evolution, and tremendously honored to be of service in the support of others in their own healing, wholeness and well being.
Details of this retreat
A Summer Solstice Retreat for the Pachakuti Mesa Community
June 2025 | Star River Sanctuary, British Columbia
*This retreat is for Pachakuti Mesa Carriers only!
This summer solstice shine the bright light of Summer Solstice to illuminate your sacred path of service and bring the illumination of the three suns to empower your mission.
The time is now to awaken as visionary pioneers of the New Earth Rising. This Summer Solstice retreat at Star River Sanctuary is a sacred convergence for those walking the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition (PMT) path, answering the call of the Taripaypacha prophecy—a time of reunion, transformation, and planetary healing.
Following the epic retreats of 2024 with don Oscar & Cindy Mira-Quesada, this year’s gathering will continue the deep apprenticeship of Kamasqa Curanderismo. This unique PMT wisdom-derived immersion is about learning to learn and applying what has been learned in the time-honored way of traditional shamanic tutelage. Through sustained attention, keen observation, and deep listening, we will cultivate our personal and collective medicine in service to Gaia-Pachamama.
A Journey of Healing, Vision, and Sacred Reciprocity
We live at this pivotal moment where our lives and actions have profound power to positively impact the destiny of Mother Earth. This retreat offers a rare opportunity to step fully into this role, to align with the existing transformational demands of our time, and to embrace our purpose as star-seeded initiates of the Great Work.
At Star River Sanctuary, we are blessed with both the human and natural resources to foster profound personal and planetary healing.
This will be the first retreat where Robin and Darcy guide both night and daytime Kamaska Heart Medicine ceremonies together, specifically for you—the initiates of the Pachakuti Mesa lineage.
NOW is the time when our visionary dreaming is needed, for we cannot bring forth the Taripaypacha without clear visions from our hearts. This creative dreaming work must take place in sacred circle—in alignment with the animate, alive forces of creation, the Earth, and the Cosmos.
We are all now living in the full expression of the Pachakuti, this time of great cyclic change, where creation, destruction, and preservation unfold as part of the great dreaming of our Cosmic Mother. It is our sacred duty to manifest our time on Earth as a seven-generation gift of healing light in the world. Guided by the principle of Ayni—Sacred Reciprocity—we will step into our roles as soul-awakened catalysts of planetary evolution, embodying the unstoppable force of Taripaypacha’s fulfillment—Hinayá!
