WEEKEND: Inca shaman to share teachings of heritage today in Port Townsend

NOTE: “Today” and “tonight” refer to Friday, Aug. 22.

PORT TOWNSEND — Inca shaman Washington Gibaja Tapia from Peru’s Sacred Valley will share the teachings of his lineage at the Unity Spiritual Enrichment Center, 3918 San Juan Ave., from 7 to 9 tonight.

Tapia is well-known for his spiritual and humanitarian work in healing and clairvoyance he learned through training with shamans from the Andes.

‘Medicine Power’

In “Medicine Power and the Energy of Mother Earth Healings,” the Condor of the South and the Eagle of the North will “fly together using the natural medicine of water, fire and wind to open, to clear, to hear the messages from the spirits of the Canyon of Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and the Sacred Condor, and experience the pure energy we need to be successful, happy and have unity with our loved ones.”

Participants are asked to contribute $10 to $30.

Proceeds benefit Path of the Heart, a nonprofit organization led by Tapia that offers service programs to the children and families of the high Andes.

Limited seating

The event is limited to 75 participants. To reserve a space, email gailbpt@gmail.com or phone 360-379-­5380.

Tapia also will hold private healing sessions Saturday and Sunday. Suggested contribution for these sessions is $75 to $90.

Email gailbpt@gmail.com to schedule a private healing.

Although the facility is still an active U.S. Coast Guard station, the equipment is monitored and operated remotely and no keepers are present. Regular tours on Saturdays and Sundays will resume in May. (Steve Mullensky/for Peninsula Daily News)
