He never stopped learning and expanding his knowledge of spiritual healing and general life discipline.
The will to go further took him to countries all over the world. Destinations were Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, the USA, Ecuador, Bolivia and his beloved motherland Peru. The obligatory path to advanced sessions to learn the wide world of shamanic healing brought Coco to the skills he possesses today.

Early in his life he understood that learning is only important when it is shared. So he decided to do it. Born an indigenous man who was taught the ability to heal, he shares his knowledge and tradition.

Here are the roots of indigenous life – RESPECT
It’s about respect. To everyone and everything.

Her mission is to support people to live from their heart with light and love. She works with respect for everyones original quality and finds her inspiration in how the bees work together. The way the bees cooperate is how they make the gold, the honey. Its about balance and harmony.
She is reconnected by ancestors with the knowledge of the Elder Futhark Runes. The origin of these Runes are from the ancestor tradition of the low countries/west Europe and it is time for her to go back to our own culture and traditions.

So it was channelled to her:
“Find the twelve sacred sounds on the Spinal Cord, if you find them and make these sounds with the people, they can be healed through their own DNA.”

Now the time has arrived to spread this gift from our European ancestors out into the world.

She was bit of a strange and dreamy girl…not of this world some said .
She didn’t speak a lot and stayed somewhat hidden away from groups of people.
That sometimes felt a bit lonely, until she met an Irish old Bard who told her she is” one of the Fae people”. And that she should not forget to share the knowledge and energy of the Fae with people nowadays .
It’s time to connect …..

And so she did … Theresia found a way to integrate and share her worlds as a dance teacher … later traveling with puppet theater … storytelling and harp and drum and songs inspired by her star family and Elvenways.

He travelled and travelled more, worked with Native Americans, with Indian teachers, traveled to Ghana, to a rainmaker, and met Europe’s last druids and shamans of Baikal and Altai in Siberia.
It is the meaning and purpose of his work to cultivate the old eurasien rituals again, so that the people of EurAsia are beginning to work together in peace and freedom.
The healing of the missing love relations in our lives is his special concern.

This is how he says about love simply and clearly:
“Love is law that Goddess and God gave to this world when they created this world.
Love is free, it doesn’t expect, it doesn’t demand.
Love needs no reply.”
