(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 11, 2009 ) INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev.— When Hiram Bingham discovered the sacred Incan city of Machu Picchu in 1911, he wrote of the mysticism and miracles he experienced there. Myths & Mountains is offering a fifteen-day exploration of Peru with his grandson. Ben Bingham specializes in the healing powers and sacredness of place, dreamwork and the balancing of inner and outer gold. Ben’s use of gold in this context refers to wealth, but wealth in both the material and spiritual sense, as well as exploring how we feel about what we have. Ben will take guests on a spiritual journey from the Sacred Valley’s high energy points to the ruins of Machu Picchu, then up Peru’s northern coast to the archaeological jewels known as the Holy Pyramids. As he retraces his great grandfather’s footsteps, he will meet with the group and each individual to share his knowledge of mystical and purifying ceremonies and rites. This is a unique opportunity to worship at sacred Inca sites, discover Machu Picchu as the Incas worshipped it and cleanse one’s spirit.
