The School of Remembrance was born from a whisper of clarity carried by the winds of the sacred mountain of Ausangate during a pilgrimage of initiation and remembrance. After years of studying diverse lineages of healing, mysticism and ancestral wisdom with Indigenous elders and traditional healers from around the world, we felt called to create a community devoted to guiding spiritual seekers toward a grounded and intentional path of study.

We are weaving together a unique constellation of practices inspired by the world’s wisdom traditions, the intelligence of natural energy and the chakra system. Our studies draw from Indigenous teachings, curanderismo, Hoshindo, Hindu philosophy, Christ consciousness, the lineage of Isis, deity studies, Andean cosmology, the Red Road, the Path of Beauty and herbalism.

Rather than offering a single doctrine, the School of Remembrance exists as a living bridge between traditions; honoring the roots of these teachings while exploring how they may support deeper connection, self-awareness and embodied devotion in the modern world.

Driven by passion

Through our studies and travels, we witnessed the growing need for safer, more integrative and culturally respectful approaches to spirituality and mysticism. Along the way, we were blessed to encounter guides, elders and teachers whose integrity and wisdom deeply shaped our path and inspired us to become bridges between tradition and modernity.

We believe humanity is being called into a profound evolution through love, compassion and remembrance. Our intention is to cultivate spaces of community, beauty and authentic connection where individuals can explore their spiritual path with greater clarity, responsibility and reverence.

The School of Remembrance was created to support people in reconnecting with their truth, nurturing their gifts and deepening their relationship with the sacred intelligence of life.

The person in the middle is an elderly woman with Asian features, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, red top, checkered skirt, and jewelry, with pink shawl and sandals. The person on the right is a woman with short dark hair, earrings, and beige shawl, smiling.

Our studies explore a wide range of traditional and devotional practices rooted in ancestral wisdom and energetic understanding. Through sacred song, curanderismo, shamanic traditions, plant wisdom, archetypal studies, mythology, Andean cosmology, Q’ero teachings, energetic cleansing, deity invocation, altar building, prayer, manifestation and herbalism, we cultivate pathways of remembrance and transformation.

Students are invited into a living journey through the chakra system, the Andean calendar and the medicine wheel; engaging practices that encourage deeper awareness, personal responsibility and connection to the intelligence of the heart.

Through ceremony, study, devotion and community, we seek to remember what it means to live in reciprocity with ourselves, one another and the living world.

“We weave through story, poetry, song, fabric, agriculture, dance and life many other creative practices. Perhaps a beautiful thought is the fabric of a beautiful world. Lets create beauty together”

-Karlitos Suarez

“May we lean into the tools and teachings that return us to the truth of our hearts, where fear is surrendered and purpose is remembered. In this rebirthing work, may we be the living prayer, the bridge in which love and light reaches deeper into our Mother Earth.”

-Marguerite Santos
