Spiritual retreats with renowned Peruvian mystic Don Americo Yabar, founder of the Poetic Salka Movement. “Salka is a Quechua word that Don Américo translates as ‘undomesticated energy.’ Not long ago, a friend of mine, upon hearing the word and its meaning for the first time, broke into tears. No matter how ‘domesticated’ we may have become, we all have a sense of this wildness within us—a freedom that is the essence of creation. When we speak of salka, we are speaking of a power derived from beauty, aliveness, grace, and a readiness to encounter life with our whole being. This power can exist in any shape or size: In fact, Américo has said, ‘There is nothing more salka than a hummingbird.’ Salka is elemental, poetic, cosmic, ecstatic.” –Kenneth Robinson
