earth: a living ecosystem
Our planet is a living, breathing ecosystem where all elements communicate and influence each other, much like the organs of a human body.
The sacred territories serve as major acupuncture points of the Earth, essential for the natural circulation of life‘s energies.

For example, let’s take a closer look at the Amazon forest, often referred to as the planet‘s lungs by Original Nations. Just as a cut on the hand disrupts the flow of blood and affects the whole body, deforestation in the Amazon not only disrupts local ecosystems but also impacts sea currents and leads to environmental destruction globally.
The interconnectedness of nature means that actions in one part of the world can reverberate throughout the entire Earth. We cannot remain isolated from the ripple effects of our actions across the world.
Wisdom of the Ancients
The Kaggaba, an Indigenous community in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, possess an ancient wisdom that offers invaluable insights into maintaining balance within our ecosystems. Their deep understanding of the intricate connections between all living beings has been carefully preserved and passed down through generations.
The Kaggaba’s message is one of urgency, reminding us of our shared responsibility in protecting the delicate equilibrium of our planet. By listening to their stories and reflecting on their time-honored traditions, we can gain a renewed appreciation for the importance of living in harmony with nature. Their call to action invites us to make conscious choices that prioritize the well-being of the Earth and all its inhabitants.
