A retreat with Full Circle Yoga School can deepen your understanding of life force energy, how simple healing really is, spirituality, and living your life as sacred. These elements are woven throughout the retreat all in an inclusive and accepting atmosphere.
We’re committed to helping you grow and expand deeply on a personal level, so you can fully express yourself and live free in every moment. Once you book we will be reaching out and asking you about your specific goals for growth and healing. Many retreat participants experience rejuvenation from past experiences, detachment from emotional energies and a deep shifting of priorities. You will journey on from this retreat feeling expanded and empowered as an individual.
True yogic living teaches us to expand our consciousness and live a higher vibrational experience filled with beauty, presence, grace, and bliss.
Seekers from around the globe come to Peru to share in a vibrant community that is supportive, curious, and soulful. The “yoga bubble” we create together during the immersion-style retreat is unique and truly life-changing.
A Despacho is a prayer bundle or offering, an expression of gratitude to heal physical and emotional ailments of any kind, to restore balance or harmony where it is off, or when there’s a specific request of the spirit world.
The ceremony where the despacho is collectively created is a beautiful, South American tradition, where elements from the Earth are chosen and the offering is built together, as a group, with intent and love. Ultimately, the Despacho offering goes back to Mother Earth, filled with prayer, along with the intentions and vibrations of those participating, a living request to bring energy shifts and healing in exchange for the continued love and care of Mother Earth. Despachos are a powerful form of gifting heavy energies, fears, even illness to the Pachamama, or Mother Earth, in exchange for her care of us. It is a love bundle made of flowers, seeds, oils, liquor, candy or any natural item that grows in her garden. It can also include small objects of personal significance, mementos or paper money. Despachos can be very powerful. The intent has to be clear and impeccable, meaning noble causes only. It is very moving and reassuring to know that we are not alone fighting our fights but can call upon the spirits of our elders, on the archetypes of the medicine wheel, on the energy of the sun, the moon, the rivers and our Mother, Pachamama herself to care for us, love us and help us heal.
The breathtaking scenery of the Sacred Valley in Peru is a sight to behold in itself, but witness something even more magnificent as you trek up to Humantay Lake named after the nearby mountain (Humantay, 5,473 m) and is considered one of the most beautiful and sacred lakes in Peru.Its turquoise waters with the snow-capped mountains of Salkantay (6,270 m) in the background, whisper directly to you the reason why it is so popular.
Considered one of the 7 Wonders of the modern world and standing in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, Machu Picchu is one of the world’s most significant archaeological sites. This enigmatic stone citadel is tangible evidence of the Inca Empire, when it was at the peak of its power and achievement, although the exact purpose of this magnificent complex of palaces, plazas, temples and homes remains an enduring mystery. The site’s dramatic setting, which encompasses the diverse flora and fauna of the upper Amazon basin, along with its rich history, make Machu Picchu an unforgettable travel destination.
Pisac town is one of the much-preferred towns by the tourists who come to Cusco. The serene village is famous amongst those looking to escape the crowds and experience part of the traditional rural life in Peru. However, it is known for its astronomical observatory (Inca ruins) and a large market that attracts a heavy flow of tourists from the nearby city of Cusco.
The Pisac ruins are among Peru’s most extensive archeological sites in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Located on the long crest of a 3000m high mountain overlooking the Southern end of the Urubamba Valley or Sacred Valley, Pisac is 33 kilometers Northeast of Cusco.
As was customary in Inca architecture, cities were built in the shape of animals. Pisac is shaped like a partridge, thus its name.
In Peru, floral baths known as banjos florales (‘flower baths’) are a staple of shamanic healing from the high Andes to the Amazon basin, where they are used to wash away unhelpful spirits so that blockages are removed and the energy of the universe can flood in to correct the imbalance. A tub is filled with water and to this is added the plants that the person most needs, like mocura and ajo sacha, some of the most powerful doctors. We highly recommend schedueling this as an extra session and also checking out the many spa offerings and massage options.
In Peru, the coca leaf has a rich and important history, with many Peruvians valuing the leaves as highly as gold. Visitors today often know of coca leaves because of their ability to relieve altitude sickness, whilst locals use them in many different ways. They are often consumed on a daily basis, chewed or used During a coca leaf reading the guest is invited to sit with the shaman. Coca leaves are thrown into the direction of a sacred mountain and the shaman lays out a handful of leaves on the blanket in front of the guest. The movement of the leaves falling gives the shaman information about the guest. Additionally, the shaman can decipher details about the individual’s future, work, life, family or financial situation depending on the leaves’ shapes and colors.
It is best to fly into Cusco Airport. A few airlines like Avianca offer direct international flights into Cusco. Otherwise it is easy to fly to Lima and change to a domestic flight to Cusco. There are many leaving daily between Lima's international airport and Cusco for relatively inexpensive if booked in advance.
From the airport to Willka Tika we will be arranging scheduled car services or you can take a local bus if feeling more adventurous. Uber is also an exceptionally easy way to get around Peru, and is much cheaper than the taxis waiting outside the airport.
We highly recommend flying into Cusco June 24th so you can settle, explore that evening and be fresh the next day to enjoy the couple hour scenic trip to the retreat center. WE also recommend staying in Cusco the night of the 3rd to again have ease in travel arrangements made for home. Please don't hestiate to reach out for assistance and we will be helping to cooridinate everyone.

JOLIE WILSON - OWNER & FOUNDER, FCYS
Having studied and practiced yoga, meditation, and intuitive arts for over 21 years, Jolie believes these practices are the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and others. As a certified yoga teacher of 7 different yogic practices, owner of Full Circle Yoga School, owner of Luxe Life Retreats, transformation facilitator, a certified paddle board yoga instructor, Reiki Level II practitioner, and teacher of kids yoga and meditation classes, she is ever delving deeper into these passions. As a mother of four and woman who found herself embarking on a journey a bit different than expected, Jolie took a deeper turn toward these practices in 2009 when she needed healing from depression, trauma, anxiety, panic attacks and at the time what felt like a broken life.
Through consciousness raising, present moment awareness, treating our body as a temple, and living life as a moving meditation Jolie teaches that when we start living from our divine essence, we remember who we are and in this creation of space within ourselves we reclaim our power and infinite ability to manifest our dreams. Jolie has experienced and been witness to many "miracles" that the rational mind can not explain. She does not believe in limits, boundaries, or the finite and through that awareness she lives a magical life beyond what most people consider ordinary reality. In addition to nurturing our soul and spirit, our physical body is the temple. Keeping it strong and healthy is vital to an enlightened life. As a channel and intuit Jolie utilizes her clairvoyant abilities in a symbiotic way to offer sessions that work to integrate past traumas and emotional disturbances. Being of service to others and aiding them in healing their lives, improving their health, and living authentically is Jolie's life’s purpose. May all of your days be filled with infinite love, grace, beauty, and bliss! May you know you are powerful beyond measure. May you be free. Namaste.

A life of choosing, contribution, and generosity.
