Guiding Principles: Embracing Inka Wisdom
At Tinkuy Wasi, we draw inspiration from the ancestral wisdom of the Inkas to create a space for deep healing and transformation. Our work is guided by 11 core principles that integrate love for nature, community, and spirit. These values form the heart of all our ceremonies and retreats, helping each individual reconnect with their essence, find balance, and live in harmony with the world around them. Through these principles, we offer an authentic experience that honors the sacred and ancestral, keeping the legacy of our ancestors alive.
Tinkuy Wasi Pilars
Ayni – The Power of Reciprocity
Ama Qhilla – The Spirit of Dedication
Laziness is an obstacle to growth. We believe in hard work, not just in the physical sense but in our spiritual journeys, encouraging constant dedication to self-improvement. By cultivating discipline, we create the foundation for lasting transformation.
Life is a balance of giving and receiving. We honor this sacred exchange in everything we do, fostering harmony with nature and our community. When we give selflessly, the universe responds, ensuring that abundance flows in both directions.
Ama Sua – Integrity and Respect
Ama Llulla – Living in Truth
Respect for what belongs to others is a cornerstone of integrity. We foster an environment where personal and spiritual boundaries are honored, ensuring mutual respect. Living with integrity allows us to build strong, meaningful relationships rooted in trust.
Honesty is the foundation of trust. We practice truth in all our interactions, creating a space where authenticity reigns and connections are real. Only through truth can we achieve clarity, both within ourselves and with those around us.
Munay – Love and Compassion
Love is the force that binds us all. Everything we do is infused with unconditional love, guiding our ceremonies and interactions with pure, compassionate energy. When we act from a place of love, we become channels for healing and transformation.
Pachakuti – Embracing Transformation
Change is the essence of life. We welcome transformation as a path to rebirth, helping participants embrace their own cycles of growth and renewal. Through embracing change, we evolve into the highest versions of ourselves, shedding the old to make way for the new.
Sumaq Kawsay – The Art of Good Living
The Earth is our mother and provider. We express deep gratitude to Pachamama in every ceremony, recognizing her power to heal and sustain us. In return, we commit to protecting her, living with awareness and respect for all that she offers.

Reverence for Pachamama – Honoring the Earth
True wellness means living in harmony with nature and community. We seek balance in every aspect of life, nurturing well-being and unity in all we do. The "good life" is not measured by material wealth, but by the richness of our connections and inner peace.
Love for the Community (Ayllu)

Connection with the Apus – Wisdom of the Mountains
