Sacred Reciprocity: What Andean Wisdom Teaches Us About Living in Balance

Erika Huarcaya & Marc-John Brown

Erika Huarcaya is a native Peruvian of the Chanka-Quechua people from Apurímac in the Andes Mountains. Born into the world by her grandmother—a traditional Quechua midwife and doula—in the loving embrace of a cacao ceremony, she incorporates this spiritual birth connection into her shamanic healing and yoga practice. She remains rooted in the wisdom of one of Cacao’s Andean guardian cultures and is also an apprentice and ally of the Q’ero nation, a lineage of Andean wisdom keepers known as the last pure-blood descendants of the Incas.

Marc-John Brown is Erika’s husband (to whom she's been married since 2009). He has dedicated his life to studying indigenous wisdom traditions alongside her. His work includes ceremony and retreat facilitation, plant medicine integration, coaching, writing, public speaking, and most importantly, indigenous liaison work. Since 2019, he has been an apprentice of the Shipibo-Conibo tribe in the Peruvian Amazon and is an ally and collaborator with various other indigenous communities.

Together, they are the founders of Native Wisdom Hub
