Interesting and hopeful news from California ☀️... wishing peaceful Xmas time all🎄...
"SB 58 (Senate Bill 58) would allow only plant-based hallucinogens, such as psilocybin, the active ingredient in “magic mushrooms,” and dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, which is found in some plants used to brew ayahuasca. Other naturally occurring psychedelics that would be allowed under the bill include ibogaine, a psychoactive alkaloid found in the iboga shrub, and mescaline found in cacti 🌵 other than peyote."

Journeying with Huachuma, the Sacred Andean Cactus
Can plants really help us access mystical realms and impossible cures? A very special cactus from the Andes just may prove that it is possible.
Sumak Kawsay, Ayni, Ayllu, etc ....many of the values of our Culture in this video. Listening to the voice and messages of Kike Pinto in this podcast we can feel the presence of the Andes Mountain, Quechua Culture and Music.

Seminole - Tribe Alliances 🤝❤️
In the heart of the territory where our Sumak Kawsay Foundation is based lies a profound opportunity for collaboration and mutual enrichment through alliances with indigenous communities, such as the Seminole Tribe.
We recognize the immense value of cultivating these alliances, rooted in a shared reverence for nature and a deep respect for indigenous cultures.
At our Foundation, we firmly believe that true progress and sustainability can only be achieved by honoring and learning from indigenous knowledge and perspectives. This journey holds the potential to create positive change for both present and future generations. The Seminole Tribe is a Native American tribe from Florida, United States, and part of the larger Creek Confederacy.
Here's a summary of their history, original names, and significance today.

Sumak Kawsay. Culture and Tradition. Article written by Taita Santiago Andrade L
In the link you will find Full Article in Spanish and English translation. Good reading for those who would like to delve deeper into the meaning, past and present of our tradition and way of life.
“The path that we inherited, about which little has been written, but is practiced to this day in our indigenous and mestizo peoples of South America, is a countless number of spiritual practices that lead us to know each other, to find harmony among the community, nature and the cosmos; thinking well, feeling well and doing well.”

After the pause of summer, Sumak Kawsay will return to the United States, bringing with us two weeks of profound connection and sacred work. Dario Hampi Pakari, Kuraka of our family, will lead these activities, sharing the voice and teachings of our ancient traditions, passed down by the elders of our millenarian lineage.
Our journey will take us back to Florida, where the Foundation first planted its seeds of mission and vision, specifically in Miami and Tampa. Here, we will once again nurture the roots of our work, sowing the wisdom of our ancestors in the hearts of all who join us.
