At eighteen, Valdemar Viggo Rommelhoff began his Master Apprenticeship with Puma Fredy Quispe Singona in Chinchero, high in the sacred Andes of Peru. For many years, he has lived alongside Puma Fredy’s family, supporting international groups on retreats and pilgrimages to sacred archaeological sites connected to the Qanchis Ylla Lineage, whose teachings Valdemar now carries. Through this path, he has brought the wisdom of the Andes to communities throughout Europe, North America, and Australia.

Born in Denmark and rooted in his Nordic ancestry, Valdemar walks between worlds, weaving ancestral wisdom, ceremony, and modern community leadership. Through his own company, Ind på livet (“Into Life”), and his partnerships with Pathfinder, Life is Real Youth Camp, and the Noqan Kani school, he dedicates his work to helping people reconnect with themselves, one another, and the living Earth.

Returning to Guardians of the Sacred as a Wisdom Keeper, Valdemar carries a deep passion for bringing young people into ceremony and connection with Pachamama, Mother Earth. He believes in nurturing self-confidence, compassion, and joy from an early age, creating spaces where young people can discover their own strength, deepen their relationship with the natural world, and walk through life with open hearts.

Through his path, Valdemar honors the importance of carrying ancestral teachings forward and ensuring that the wisdom of the Elders continues to nourish and guide generations to come.
