WisdOM From our EldErs
The mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta of Colombia are the sacred ancestral lands of Indigenous Peoples: the Kogi, Arhuaco, Wiwa, and Kankuamo. Together, they number over 30,000 people. The inhabitants share the belief that they are the guardians of the heart of the world. Their spiritual leaders are called Mamos.
The word Mamo means Enlightenment of both Good and Evil.
Mamos hold the Spiritual knowledge of their people and communicate directly with Mother Nature. They are trained from an early age to do Healings, Pagamentos, Ceremonies, and Divination. The word Mamo also means the Sun — as the sun of our solar system has the ability to illuminate all beings.
Mamos are the Counselors for their communities, and they perform all the important Ceremonies for their people such as: Weddings, Funeral Rites, Rites of Passage, and Baptisms. They are also the healers and the teachers of their communities.
Zagas are the female equivalents of Mamos. They are much more than just leaders; they represent the Light in the darkness.
The Zagas hold the Ancestral Wisdom for future generations. They move and behave in alignment with the rhythm of Nature and humanity. They are the Healers and hold the keys for the Water, the Earth and the Air elements - because of this the Zagas maintain the responsibility to sustain the Planet.
Zagas are multi-dimensional bridges who communicate freely with the other realms and are able to translate messages from the different kingdoms in Nature, as well as interpreting messages from dreams and the signs written in the landscape by Gaia.

Like the sacred waters, we remain open to the organic flow - allowing the Mamos and Zaga to weave this ceremony in relation to the energy of the group.
about our opening unification cacao circle
The circle of the sweet word is an ancestral technology that has been practiced by ancient traditions and indigenous communities since the beginning of time to communicate the living wisdom expressed from the sweetness of the heart.
it is a space guided by the elders & ancestral knowledge where everyone becomes an active participant through listening and speaking the language of the heart. These circles activate a path of hope, where new seeds germinate through conversation and thought, to weave an understanding of the materialization of sacred knowledge.
about the pagamentos & workshop
Pagamentos are ceremonial payments to Mother Earth as a way to honor all that nature offers us as humans. Guided by the Mamos & Zaga, we will offer a Pagamento together based upon our unique collective energy. During this ceremony, each participant will also receive personal healing through the energetic work of the Elders.
the workshop will be a sharing/transmission of knowledge. Join the Elders of the Sierra Nevada in discussion about how we can embody our sense of discernment, so we may recognize how we are uniquely being called to contribute to this Collective Shift, and which paths will create more Unification in these transformative times.
IF you are unable to offer the full financial exchange to join these opportunities but feel the strong call to join -- please reach out to us individually via email or instagram. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
