I put this one straight into Frauds because it's not even a close call. The woman is European and has admitted never even visiting South America. Thanks to our translator.

They offer seminars etc with Jenkins; I saw a price tag reading € 600
EXcluding accom & meals, participants limited to 30. If my maths don't fail
me big time, that's quite nice a sum.
The .de-site belongs to two persons in the vicinity of Cologne. There is
another site maintained by a lady claiming she's a singer and healer who
either has deficiencies in geography or her text might speak of thieves
falling out - she claims she's the *first* person offering Inka healing in
the federal state of Northrhine-Westfali a and the second one in Germany.
However, the first site mentioned above claims to be Jenkins' official site
in Germany, and they're located in the very same federal state.
Jenkins is also active in Austria and Switzerland.

"We organise courses with Elizabeth Jenkins. Elizabeth Jenkins is known for
two books: "The Return of the Inca" and "Journey to Q'eros"
In these books, she describes her own initiation into the mystical tradition
of the Q'eros. This people is of Inca descent and lived in isolation from
their surroundings in the mountains of Peru. Spiritual knowledge of the Inca
was passed on from generation to generation."

Also an account of a speech in the Netherlands where she made some surprising admissions.
"one of my Peruvian collogues asked me if I would be able to attend a presentation at the university sponsored by the Latin American student's club. It was by a woman who wrote a book called, The Inca Secret. She could not be there so she wanted me to listen in. Unfortunately, it was mostly in Dutch so I missed much of what she said. The Peruvian ambassador to the Nederlands did speak for a bit, in English, and I really liked what he said. He said it was very nice what this woman had written, but that people needed to know that there was 20,000 more years of deep culture in Peru other than the Inca. Also that Inca was a misnomer, and is misused to indicate a lost culture, which is untrue since there are many descendents of these peoples still living rich cultural live in Peru today.
When she opened it up to questions there was a wide variety of questions, and no good answers. She is a very, very, new aged counselor who uses "ancient Inca spirituality and ceremony" to heal people. What I found interesting was that she admits that she speaks no indigenous language, has never been there, and only spoke once to one elder who travels in Europe but still feels she has the right to cash in on Inca knowledge. She said to one of the Peruvians there, "I don't have to travel there to know and understand the spirituality. " To everyone else who criticized her she just said that it was obvious that they had not read the book and to not bother her until they had.
I don't think she was very happy with some of the Indian contingent there, (mostly me - I made my displeasure known) but she was still selling books to the new agers who were there. She also owns and operates the largest homeopathic medicine distributer in the Nederlands and Belgie. She said about 6 different times that she makes no money on the books, but then how many times have we heard that one. "We don't have our 501 (3) C yet, but we are non-profit." Right! She also made some comment about not being able to help the people in Peru since it is so expensive to get them Llamas etc. One woman said, well I'll help. Just give me the address! It was very, very strange. The whole thing just gave me an oggy feeling.
I still can't believe someone saying you don't have to have any contact with an indigenous community, speak the language or go to the sacred lands to use their spirituality. The biggest problem was an Peruvian "performer" there that was giving her big hugs and telling her how sorry he was that her good work was being questioned - of course he had a business deal for her."

More.
"She has a business
www.inkaspirit. nl (sorry its all in Dutch) that promotes spiritual seminars along with Marja Arons who leads tours to Peru.
www.incaknowhow. nl (also known as the Bureau Inca Vision) They will take you to the jungle and set up a male initiation ceremony or just about anything else you want. Their schedule here in the Nederlands has such wonderful classes as: Traditional Knowledge Training, (advanced training 1-2-3, Inca Yoga Intensives, and Inca Yoga in the forest....Carl loves them.
They both "follow" Don Juan Nunez del Prado and his son Ivan Nunez del Prado. They also offer things like how to work with energy, light, and your troublesome relatives...During the presentation they showed all these pictures of the people they had dealt with in Peru. One shot was of the back of a man in a Tommy Hilfiger jacket that got lots of giggles. Not One of those twinkies thought that, here are good honest people trying to live their lives in a traditional way, wearing some rich white person's cast off clothes being photographed by some rich woman that is spending more money on this one trip than they will make in their lives. It really offended me. All they saw was a Tommy jacket in the "wilderness. "
When Flora (Peruvian) mentioned that is was wrong to sell the information for huge amounts when the locals that should have the information could not afford to know it and therefore pass it down and mentioned that she had never even been to the region, Ms Ambrosia stated in a rather offended way that she certainly didn't need to go there to be a complete human - Now what is that supposed to mean. It was just ugly, and I hated seeing some of the Peruvian men there really playing into the whole thing. This one guy (who Flora says organizes dancers and all) got up and said he could answer all of the questions she has about knowledge she doesn't have yet, but she will have to buy his video to hear it...It was all in Dutch, so maybe I did get all of it, but that is basically what Flora say he was saying.
