Doña Agustina Ccapa Champi from Qolpa Kucho

Our QOYA or eldest Ñust’a Paqo, Doña Agustina, is a highly trained Ñust’a Paqo in the lineage of Don Andres Espinoza. She is the widow of the renowned altomishayoq Don Mariano Apaza who died in 2004 and was fully trained by him, working side by side for many years. She is always surprising us with knowledge from the ancient lineage of Pachacuti and lore about Mishkayani–the Inkan metaphysical city of feminine power, lost in the amazon jungle. Agustina is a phenomenal weaver and has a huge, compassionate heart.

 

Doña Zenovia Cruz Condori from Ch’eqas Pampa, Ausangate

Zenobia is known for her powerful WAHARIQUY (invocation) of the Nature Beings and her bubbly personality. Zenobia was raised on Ausangate Mountain, and trained by her grandmother, an exceptional reservoir of Ñust’a Paqo knowledge, who died at the ripe old age of 120.  Zenovia carries on her grandmothers’ traditions, and is an amazing weaver with a creative flair for innovative apparel incorporating ancient designs.

 

Doña Marcosa Flores Pauqar from the Q’ero village of Charqapata

Doña Marcosa is the daughter-in-law of Don Humberto Soncco and the late Doña Bernardina fully trained by her as a Ñust’a Paqo. A respected community leader, she delights in sharing her knowledge and initiations in the tradition with all of her students. Marcosa is acknowledged as possessing one of the most potent invocations for Pichay (cleansing) and is an expert in traditional knowledge, cleansings, healings, and offerings, as well as being a supremely gifted weaver.
