Our Peru Staff
Victor Chura Quispe
Victor is the reason I encourage men to travel to Peru—to witness a kind of strength that is both unshakable and deeply loving. He is as strong as an ox, yet his heart is wide open, welcoming everyone with warmth and generosity. Always up to something, he embodies one of the greatest superpowers in the shamanic tradition: innocence. And Victor? He is the master of this gift.
He is an inspiration to all who meet him, and we love him to the Moon and back!
Mama Ceila
Mama Ciela is Victor’s wife and the mother of Melissa, Juan Jose, Roland, and Angelica. She is our textile instructor and teaches the feminine aspects of shamanism. Mama Ciela is an incredible teacher with a huge heart.
Willie Edgar Quispe Marquez
Culinary Expert & Cultural Advisor
Willie, Shanon’s brother, is a teacher and culinary expert specializing in Peruvian cuisine. As the chef and cultural advisor for the program, he brings the rich traditions of Andean food to life. Harvesting, preparing, and celebrating meals are deeply embedded in Peruvian culture, and Willie ensures that every participant is fully immersed in the experience.
His family hosts guests at their welcoming guest house, located about three hours from Cuzco. In the kitchen, Willie puts everyone to work, believing that food preparation is not just a necessity but a joyful communal event. His wife, Connie, is also a key member of the culinary teaching team, reinforcing the idea that it truly takes a village to create a meal.
Willie’s signature dish is ceviche, made with the freshest fish from the nearby lake. His approach to cooking is simple but powerful—fresh, local ingredients and traditional techniques that honor the deep culinary heritage of Peru.
