PLEASE NOTE THAT ADMINISTRATION DAYS ARE MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND FRIDAY ONLY. THANKYOU AND BLESS YOU.
Time passes, focus shifts - in the endless cycle of creation and destruction. Right now we are in the middle of a phase in which the field has been left fallow, and now has been sown. Creation is underway, not only in emphasis of life and the contunual purification of the prayer by which I live, but here on this platform and also on the land on which I live. This website has served me well over the years, but my main emphasis is not music - the music is like the wrapping paper on the gift, the dressing on the window - so, there will be some updating, and most likely a new website when the time is right. In tandem with this, we see a new era upon us here - the construction of a new temple, new tambos, the creation of a new center from which to be based, and to which to invite people who wish to pray with us, study with us, stay with us and share with us. Our first stage of construction should be completed by November and we will begin this next chapter with a deep 10 day retreat here in the mountains. From then we will return again to our weekly prayer meetings, monthly sweatlodge, and monthly 3 night weekend retreats.
Although our home is high in the mountains, we are continuing to strengthen our connection to all of these lands, returning again in January 2027 to open dieta in the jungle, which will be a welcome return for me after nearly 3 years away from that space. Later in the year when all is fully built we shall be able to welcome people to diet with us here in the mounatins also, for short or long dietas, not necesarrily part of group dieta space. All in all these are exciting and challenging times - but they are also immensely enjoyable, I have to say. If you wish to know more, or are visiting Peru, please be in touch. More information about our deep retreat schedule is posted below.
NEW DATES FOR RETREAT AND DIETA.
10 day retreat in The Sacred Valley - November ( date to be clarified in the coming week ) 2026. This is a deep immersion retreat, with 4 plant- based healing or spiritual ceremonies and 2 or 3 sweat lodges. This is ideal for those who wish to immerse in the healing of the plants, space, alongside close community with education on The Four Altars and The Seven Directions frameworks - and ample space for silence and reflection. There will be an option for a 3 day dieta in the middle of the retreat with a plant that is very dear to my heart and musical life. LIMITED TO 10 SPACES.
10 day dieta in the jungle, January 2027 ( dates to be confirmed soon ). We return to the Peruvian Amazon to receive all that she has to give to us - we fast, we observe, we learn, we share and we grow. LIMITED TO 15 SPACES.
REGISTRATION OF INTEREST CAN BE MADE USING THE FORM BELOW. All information disclosed shall be held in sacred trust, with utmost respect and confidentiality and will not be shared with anyone outside of our immediate organisation.

Welcome to the home page of Misk'i Takiy, more commonly known as Gareth. Here you will find information about his work, his service, and his path.
Currently his main focus is on the establishment of The School of the Seven Directions - ( which includes The Four Altars Study Group ), and his monthly commitment to prayer circles and the family / community Sweatlodge here in the SACRED VALLEY of Peru.
He has just released his 4th album - The Seven Directions Vol. 1 - and recording of Vol. 2 will begin in October this year.
These albums will not be released on some of the major streaming platforms as he feels these are not the best homes for his music for a few good reasons. He appreciates however you choose to listen, but at present his music will be available only in ways that feel in congruence with the essence of the music itself - and his own heart and conscience.
The Seven Directions Vol. 1 is a work recorded here at a studio in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Thank you for your support - all proceeds from sales will offset the recording process cost and hopefully generate funds for Read more
The Seven Directions Vol. 1 is a work recorded here at a studio in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Thank you for your support - all proceeds from sales will offset the recording process cost and hopefully generate funds for Vol. 2 which we plan to record in October / November 2026.
In an age where basically the streaming platforms own the artist, and rent our music for a pittance to you, this is an opportunity to own the high definition files, and support the artist ( me ) directly. I appreciate your understanding and generosity in this.
The album will NOT be released on Spotify or several of the other major streaming platforms.
