The Q’ero is an ethnic group that for nearly 500 years retreated from the world and re-emerged in the 1950s, when they re-established contact with other peoples. They possess great wisdom and knowledge about energy medicine and dedicate all their power to their calling: to heal the earth. Jana has been educated in this by Don Mariano, Dona Maria, Don Alejandro, Don Francisco and Don Claudio.

Jana has also met and studied meditation from different buddhistic Lamas and daoistic masters.

For thousands of years, people have embarked on pilgrimages to Wudang, in order to visit the holy places or dedicate themselves to spiritual exercises. Still, Daoists live in celibacy at Wudang, where they practise meditation and various forms of qigong, taiji and meditation.
