Arhuaco Village Retreat
Join us December 2-7, 2024 in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta Mountains of Colombia
Stay with the Mamos
Take this unique opportunity to visit Nabusimake, the Arhuaco capital, learning from our guide Rafael Arhuaco and Mamo Felix, the head Mamo of the area.
Enjoy a full program of energy work, yoga, meditation, music and much more as we connect deeply with nature and the Earth’s energetic field.
This experience includes transportation from and back to the Valledupar airport,
meals and simple accommodations in the Arhuaco village.
Lead Facilitator Peter Hornung has been working with the Arhuaco tribe for 6 years.
They are a civilization of healers that primarily focus on healing space
by connecting our hearts to the Earth.
When our energies are connected, we strengthen our facilities to bring
healing to the Earth. That is the primary function of the Arhuaco land.
They are an enlightened civilization bringing healing to the Earth
with their connection to ley lines and their hearts being placed into the work that they do.
Ley Lines are the invisible lines that connect sacred sites on the planet. The Mamos work with the Earth’s
electromagnetic field to heal the planet and by extension, ourselves.
When we place our hearts into every single detail of our life, we can create a
harmonious flow of energy, that when facilitated through this process will carry into the
ley lines of the earth.
This is the primary focus of the retreat and the primary resonance,
message and goal of the retreat.
The Ancestral System of Knowledge of the Arhuaco, Kankuamo, Kogui and Wiwa peoples of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is comprised of sacred mandates that keep the existence of the four peoples in harmony with the physical and spiritual universe.
Through many years of dedication, the knowledgeable men (Mamos) and women (Zagas) acquire the necessary skills and sensitivity to communicate with the snow-capped peaks, connect with the knowledge of the rivers and decipher the messages of nature.
This ancestral wisdom is believed to play a fundamental role in protecting the Sierra Nevada ecosystem and avoiding loss of the cultural identity of the peoples of the region.
The Ancestral System of Knowledge is transmitted from generation to generation through cultural practice, community activities, use of the indigenous language & the implementation of the sacred mandates. The transmission process includes the understanding of physical & spiritual relationships with Mother Nature & sacred sites.
