Peru Retreat Facilitator Highlight
Greg () lives in the Sacred Valley working with plant medicines while leading temazcales & facilitating ceremonies.

Greg has learned from the Chipivo Conivo tribe in the Peruvian jungle & the Huni Kuin and Yawanawá tribe of Acre, Brazil. While learning, Greg began to immerse himself in the Native American tradition of the Lakota and Sioux tribes of the Red Road. He managed to become a Vision Seeker and Sun Dancer. Greg received blessings for carrying the sacred ritual of the Chanunpa (Peace Pipe) and sharing the Inipi ceremony (sweat lodge).

Greg is a native of the land of Pachacamac on the Pacific coast of Peru. He currently lives in the Sacred Valley, where he has created a space called WallpariSonqo for the growth & discovery of the inner being.

After many years of learning, the time has come to take the messages and share what was heard to different places on earth.

As you walk down your path long enough you forget why you started. The light shining your way dims down and you lose track of where you are going. At one time, you were certain of your direction but now, as it is hard to admit, are lost. The Fog rolled in carrying a density weighing heavy on your down.
Why even move when you don’t even know where to go?
In your moment of despair cry out to the One who’s perspective is higher than are own and surrender to the One who knows our WAY and the meaning of what we are going through today. We may think we are lost but we are FOUND right where we need to be.
A door appears where it wasn’t before. What is awaiting you is the other side of SURRENDER.

We only get this one body
Torn with scars, colored by the SUN, and aged with indentation.
Familiarize yourself with it. Appreciate it in whatever state it is in. Our body is our greatest asset and remember… we only get this one. Treat it with respect and develop it as a temple you hold in high regard.
Bring it into balance through MOVEMENT

I found the Mentorship Mastermind in a personal crossroads in 2020 while uncovering friction between my inward and outward reality.
The program provided me a vulnerable space to experiment with who I was becoming. I was provided loving community who accepted me in my trials and errors. I found mentors blazing a heart led lifestyle encouraging us to spread our wings.
I am humbled by the opportunity to give back to the program that gave so much to me. I have been chosen to mentor a small group for these past 8 weeks and though I was given a role as leader, I learned so much more from them!
Slow down and feel into the moment. Everyone has a story behind the smile. Make the leap and keep faith. Organization and discipline is key to attaining the vision. Sometimes nothingness is apart of the plan.
Life is better with Community
Brighten, lean in, grow, shed, and invite people in on the next MM Program!

COMMUNITY
We walk this journey home together.
No longer bearing the weight behind closed doors …or… traversing alone through the storm
We share our lives together. UPs, DOWNs, and all the UGLY inbetween.
We create space to be fully seen. Even the shadow that doesn’t get much SUN.
We also know how to get together, celebrate, and have some FUN.
Find UNITY in Community!

Social Media Detox
Encouraged to Detox and Re-Direct my ill spent energy.
I created, explored, sat in silence, unraveled thoughts, lived in the moment, and found everything I was looking for without scrolling for it.
The week was over but I wasn’t. EXTENSION
Am I posting to share a message or my ego?
EXTENSION
Am I seeking knowledge or being told what to think?
EXTENSION
Anxiously hesitantly shaking as I reshackle myself to the apps that have stolen life.
OR
Is it better to think of these apps as a mode of transportation, such as a hot air balloon. Capable of lifting us UP directed by an intentional captain moving us forward!
I have gained much value from this Detox (IG, YouTube, Netflix, FB, Tik Tok). With Everything maintain moderation… even moderation.
If interested, give yourself a week to experience life without social media. I’m always here for questions and to walk you through life.

My 21 Day Fast Review
Guided by Free Chapel] Jentezen Franklin]

From the bottom of my heart, I am beyond grateful for you all (Jentezen Franklin] Free Chapel] )facilitating a global experience made intimately personal for every individual involved.

My story:

Begins just before the fast. God provided me a small little beach shack in Mexico to “incubate” for my next season. I began the 21 day fast on my first day in Mexico with my intention of following Daniel’s diet. God spoke to me my first night and told me I would be giving my vessel fully over as an offering and only consume water and herbs. I agreed and proceeded the miraculous journey with a 19 day water only fast and two days of easing my way out of the fast for 21 days total.

It is difficult to put the entire experience into words especially because I feel the experience is really just getting started now that the fast is over.
I prayed earnestly. He listened. Action rapidly and miraculously unfolded.
I have never felt such a strong and pure connection through the Holy Spirit to Jesus Christ before. I felt many times, as I would close my eyes and walk down the sand strip of beach while praying, I would open my eyes to see another set of footprints walking right beside me.
Towards the end of the 2nd week, I made a covenant with God, “With everything I cultivate (my words, my creations, my relationships) I ask You Breath into them so they may produce everlasting Fruit. I give you my month. I give you my year”
I visualized clearly many of the conversations, creations, and relationships that will unfold over the course of this year. I have a big ask. But I serve a big God. My faith will be tried and tested. I will not break. For I know He hears me and will utilize these challenges to lift me up.

This is the year of great and ripe FRUIT!

22 is Our Year

Love you all!

Back Story: .discomfort have partnered with to share an incredible opportunity to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. This video is a short testimonial of the lifestyle I, Mike “Ocelotl” Chávez represent and why I would be a qualified candidate to be standing on top of a 20,000 ft mountain.
This video was recorded on the 15th day of a 21 day water only fast as I hiked and camped on top of the highest peak in Rosarito, Mexico.
has been embedded into my psyche as long as I can remember. I just never had the to put it all together. holds this mantra as a core value. Our goal of facilitating authentic moments to deeply connect with oneself is naturally set up to challenge ourselves and allow the real version, often hidden, to step up and be freed! We do this in community and support eachothers individual journeys.
Together we rise. If it’s God’s will I will rise up on

Drawn to the Path Less Traveled,

not for the sake of living in uniqueness but because I’m meant to to explore my unknowns while on that path that journeys through the unknown.
I am often wading through discomfort hoping the storm passes in the night gifting me a radiant palatte in a clear sunrise. I don’t wish the storm to magically wisp away. I rise humbly to greet & surrender to the sporadic eruption of raw energy the elements present. I respect the wild places for they are older, wiser, and grander than I will ever grow to be on my best day. They shadow me in excellence. I bow as i walk through the Right of Passage gritting my teeth, convulsing in discomfort, and HONORED to be welcomed on the Path Less Traveled into the WILD PLACES.
Grateful for the Songs birds shared, the lesson learned in the Eye of a toad, the Vision Received in the Mist of a Waterfall, the listening Ear in a flowing stream, the blanket of Warmth in a Sunrise, and the Holy Spirit who opened me up to RECEIVE IT ALL!
A million thank yous will never be enough. But here is one more.

Wild Man
God created me as a son to Adam.
One who tended the land, looked after the animals, and acknowledged God day/night.
I am lost in the city, overstimulated to dream, disrupted in flow, and caged like the WILD ANIMAL I AM.
Mother calls to me. I follow her voice down a whistling stream, through the dancing trees, and the steep mountains offering me a place to commune with my creator directly.
I am Free to Be the Son of my father’s FATHER. I dance to the rhythm of my heart, I sing the songs of my ancestors, I wonder barefoot where the wind directs me, I AM naked in my raw form. I do not hide my essence but scream my existence in a raspy grito. I climb mountains to feel my raw power and humble myself before the one who created everything I see in front of me.
I breathe HIS breath. My soul is divinely guided when I’m barefoot in the gardens of Eden. It is clear I am meant to live in harmony with the same nature from which my mother comes from.
I am one with Yahweh and everything he created.

We are walking each other home
Never alone
We remember those who stepped before us
We respect the ancient way of living
We tread softly to not disturb the natural order
We give thanks to the Creator above for providing life. For giving us breath. For giving us purpose.
We accept our mission to live in harmony, create life responsibly, to be the caretakers of the Earth, and to LOVE radically.
We remember the way home and we are not going alone.

Warrior’s Sword

In a tired and weary slump, the warrior carries himself out of the deep dark cave after a long night of battling screeching, squabbling, sharp toothed creatures. Headed out into the mornings first light, he looks for rest under a large Oak, plops himself down, takes the weight off his throbbing feet, and closes his red heavy eyes.
RUMBLED GRUMBLINGS Echo behind him from within the cave. The warrior swivels his head to peer into the abyss of darkness to find a glowing light getting brighter until he realizes it is a scolding flame targeting his direction.
He retreats back behind the Oak and unsheathes the sword while placing it over his heart. Though his body is depleted of his vital life force, he cannot return to his people with the knowing of a creature hidden in darkness with a destructive flame. He knows what he must do and begins to speak life with his sword over his heart,
“To the Almighty Creator who gave me life, you fight beside me in this hour of testing ability. You created me as a warrior & a warrior I am. I accept my truth and I will die defending it. I fight boldly in your name. I acknowledge the depletion of my strength. I am tired and faint. Breathe life into me. Lift me up like on the wings of eagles. I Am a warrior and you are my strength.
Today is a Good day to Die”

As I reflect back in full gratitude of my unique journey and the key experiences influencing my present personal success, the Mentorship MasterMind stands out as a major crossroad. My heart was vulnerably opened and I cried…forgave…healed…and loved with boundless capacity. My heart is my compass and I walk imperfectly towards an all accepting unconditional love. From the depth of my being, thank you Mentorship Mastermind for connecting me to the heart and a soul tribe burning with a passionate existence.
Forever 🤟

Happy Earth Day 🌎

Every morning I pray for “Eyes to be unveiled to see the details making up the larger perspective”
As I roam with awestruck wondering eyes in His unbounded natural land, my veil has been broken and I was shown the invisible web of light connecting all life together. There is a powerful presence interweaving in our ancient lands.
Keep nature wild and roam free with unveiled eyes. Take your shoes off and you might just feel it.

Where it all Began
_____
An epiphany came to me as I was sitting underneath the dancing shadows of Half Dome, barefoot in a circle of comradery among friends who were only strangers the day before.
As I basked in the warming sunlight upon my tan skin, smelled the fresh air produced from ancient trees, and gazed with wide open wonderous eyes at the magnitude of Yosemite’s raw and powerful environment, I couldn’t help wear a constant brilliant smile.
I laughed to myself in satisfaction as I realized my life purpose in that moment: “Connect World with Nature” (March 13th, 2017)
I knew in my heart of hearts I would guide people to see God’s beauty in its most powerful and rawest forms. To take people away from the man made physical world and step into the Creator’s natural harmonious garden. To get people reconnected with themselves and all LIFE. To allow them to fully BE.
THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.
Sitting at the same bench I sat 4 years ago, looking at the same drastic views and still being awestruck with wide open child like eyes. It was here, an epiphany from God engrained itself.
“Take people to see Me. Bring them here to the wild places & I’ll do the rest”
I’m emotional as I sit back on this bench reminiscing on all the experiences taken place from the last time I sat here. What an extraordinary existence since saying “YES”. The road still remains confusing and sometimes a dark looming cloud covers my path, blinding my direction. I’ve learned to maintain FAITH and trust He will deliver me through the different seasons of my life. Faith has been KEY in accepting this mission that “ no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”.
I’ve seen the world from mountain tops. I’ve danced with fallen angels. I’ve melted in hot springs. I’ve created lifelong memories with friends. I’ve guided people in God’s country. I’ve developed a brand I’m proud of. I’m more in love with my Creator today than ever before.

3/31/21 Journal Entry
Awake before the rooster’s crow
Vitality surging my veins
Given a direct order to pray for a fallen angel and my own life.
Grounded in Peace, I begin my day per usual and walk out to my truck... “WHERE IS MY STUFF?!” (Add/Replace with a few curse words)
Frazzled, I drive to the beach for peace of mind. I pray to God, “Lift me up out of despair. Take my worries away from me. I trust you will deliver the righteous. I am holding onto your promise in Romans 8:28. ‘And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.’”
I let it go, let God, and made a post about it.
Building community out of LOVE has been one of the main foundations of Native Quest. I learned today how real & how much love is flowing out of this TRIBE.
I know I lost a few things but you all have given me so much through words of encouragement, social media outreach, music, donations, replaced gear, and even reaching out to REÍ/Patagonia.

There is a furnace in my heart warming me up. You, God, and a few Strangers are fueling me up.
My intentions for last week:
I come EMPTY to fully RECEIVE your Glory.
Apparently the intention still holds true for this week.

These past two weekends have been exceptionally transformational in my personal becoming.
During the retreat, I was led through a personal ceremony by a woman who walks half in the physical & half in the eternal realm. took me into an infinite space & I LET GO...completely. I felt the surge of life connecting everything. I am apart of it all & it is apart of me.
I realized in that moment, there was no reason to hide my true authentic self. For I would only be deceiving myself since I am in all things.
Invigorated by my true identity, I served out of the heart during the retreat. I experienced a taste of what my spiritual potential holds and am faithfully accepting the mission granted to me.
My sabbatical in Yosemite provided unmatched freedom to live RAW & NATURAL. The wild of the landscape is harmonious with the WILD in my heart.

Inspired by a passage where Jesus is moved with compassion and is “willing” to heal the sick.
If we are willing, God will move through us and allow us to move mountains!
To answer the Call... I am willing

To spread the word... I am willing
To Quest in faith... I am willing
To love unconditionally... I am willing
To connect the body in Spirit... I am willing
To live in harmony with life... I am willing
To ground in love... I am willing
To live authentically... I am willing
To be there for our fellow man... I am willing
To journey to the end... I am willing
To be barefoot... most of the time
Submissions by myself and tribe. Let’s move mountains together.

Born as a Free Spirit under a Full Moon June 24th 1994. I’ve spent many starry nights howling passionate shouts, cathartic cries, surrendered screams and praising Hallelujahs.
Life has been a whirlwind of an adventure following a spontaneous pattern infused with broken bottle blacked out lows and riding a ski lift with an Egyptian Queen high.
I’ve learned in 2020, expanding energy on making plans often results in a negative return on energy. Instead, I have focused on the development of the inner workings of my Mind, Body, & Soul. Placing the intention on discovering & adding value within myself has filled my life with quiet nights in solitude & inspirational meetings with mentors/guides. program came to me at the perfect time and allowed an open safe space to dive into myself. It also allowed me the opportunity to connect with a global tribe focused on living from the heart.
The space provided me the opportunity to experiment with vulnerably sharing my heart and giving me the confidence to wear it on my sleeve. I learned by example. I would tag the special people in the program who inspired me but there is too many.
🤟
I am present. I am living out of the heart.

Passing my love for adventure to the next generation
This is my brother, Josh, embarking on his 1st attempt at snowboarding wide eyed & full of dreams flyin down the mountain. Today is his day... or so he thought.
His expectations of a smooth ride were rudely disrupted as he got off the first sky lift, slipping out with a crashing thud onto his CABOOSE! This was just the first of 100s of falls that would follow.
Tattered and bruised he would fall. In agony he would grimace. But everytime he would fall, without hesitation, he would muster his strength, pick himself up and try again.
His resiliency to keep pushing forward despite shattered expectations is inspiring.
He will eventually fly down the mountain.

program I have been graciously involved in for the past 8 weeks is officially transitioning into a new phase. The bonds we have been able to create during this program will outlive these fast 8 weeks.
_____
It was more than an open space free to be ourselves. The space was cultivated with love by strangers who inquisitively wanted to know your soul. Occasionally wanting to understand more than we know of ourselves which prompted our own self exploration and growth. Together we created a free loving space to experiment with who we are in a completely accepting environment. The Masterminds live on!

Grateful for the opportunity to spontaneously fly out with only a days notice to physically meet a few lovely ladies I’ve only had the pleasure of getting to know through a virtual interface. ⠀⠀
It was the 1st time physically meeting but when we embraced, it felt like holding onto an old friend. With a quickly fleeting 48 hours together, we absorbed each moment through our hearts and traded sleep for late night personal revealings. We remained fully present. ⠀⠀
The moments stopping time will forever remain! ⠀
