Hace unos meses nos encontramos y confluimos para aportar, soñar e imaginar la Escuela de Agua de Puerto Quinchana 💙 nos convocamos desde la pluralidad de saberes para aprender desde y con las aguas💧
En el Macizo Colombiano nacen los ríos Magdalena, Cauca, Patía, Caquetá y Putumayo. Y frente al río Magdalena, desde Puerto Quincahana, ha crecido un universo mágico de relaciones y continuidades alrededor del cuidado de los territorios acuosos y anfibios ♾️
〰 La Escuela de Agua de Puerto Quinchana tendrá su primer encuentro esta semana, del 5 al 8 de junio. Es una iniciativa de las comunidades campesinas del Macizo, en colaboración con líderes sociales, investigadores y artistas, orientada a la reflexión, educación y construcción de estrategias para el cuidado y la defensa de los ríos.
Organizadores: John Edicson Palechor, Karen Liceth Ordoñez, Doris Alima Hoyos, Jesús Alejando García, Michael Mascarenhas, @san_ms@lorca_nia@elizabethgallondroste@laura_giraldo_m
¡Gracias a todos los que se han unido y aportado a esta red de aprendizaje y colaboración!

Cacao Circle 🪔🌿💫
with @san_ms
Friday 26.04 at 19:30 - 21:00
A Cacao Circle is a ritual space where we gather around sacred cacao and local ally plants to develop a deeper and more reciprocal connection with ourselves, other humans and more-than-humans.
Cacao is a teaching plant, known and used by the Mesoamerican people to help us connect with the essence of life, love and joy. The relationship with allied and teacher plants has been cultivated by all the indigenous peoples of the world throughout history. In Europe we can still find this knowledge in the wisdom of plants in folk culture and herbalism.
We will gather under the full moon to drink cacao infused with local ally plants and to explore our breath as a way to get in touch with our bodies, our hearts and our emotions. This will be followed by a guided meditation to cultivate compassion and loving kindness and to bring joy into our own lives and relationships.

This year I had the opportunity to spend 1.5 months in an art residency at @valleyofthepossible in the south of Chile. In a year that was for me mainly about magic, the residency was definitely overwhelming over the top.
I’m still processing but for now I can tell you that I was introduce by the Mapuche people to the «Peuma» the realm of dreams (not dreaming in the sense of desire, but actually dreaming while sleeping ). The Peuma is a place where everything exists before it emerges in “real life”. The place where we can visit the past, our ancestors, other spirits and other realities, to better understand and fully live the present.
Rationality made us forget the Peuma, the magic and the spiritual. Remembering to navigate and fully live our dreams is a way of decolonization of the soul and desire. To connect to our dreams is a way to connect to the spirits of other beings. The spirit of Mother Earth, of animals, Water, Fire, Wind.
Mapuche people are not the only ones who know this. Many indigenous peoples in Abya Yala also recognize dreams are the most important part of our lives since there is where we connect to every living creature.
The climate crisis is a spiritual crisis, because we forgot our vital connection to all other beings and the earth. The first step to reconnect to our spiritual life is to remember how to dream.
So here I am, re-learning how to dream. Experiencing other beings through lucid dreaming and meditating. For now I can only report magic, openness, awe and fun.
Wishing us all beautiful vivid dreams that show us how to be of benefit to others. 🌬💭🧿 🍄
Dream big amores and have a beautiful, abundant and purposeful 2023 🦥

Endless gratitude and love to @valleyofthepossible@mirlaklijn@olafboswijk , Kami, @andygalano@kyra_sacks_art@sandyhimon@_rybes@darkolagunas@johannekederuijter@alimento.silvestre@malmoacid@canondelblanco@admi._.mp@carlosinaipil@fungidelicaa@mely_ayin_turismo_conservacion
Visiting the ancestral lands of the Pewenche people. The Melinir family - Quinquén community has led the fight to preserve the Pewen (Araucaria tree). A sacred tree that provides them with food and medicine for the spirit and body.
So beautiful, humbling and inspiring to see how they care for this land and all sentient beings on it. And so sad to see how they, like many other indigenous communities in Latin America, live in an endless struggle against national states that protect only the economic interests of transnational extractive companies.
When we asked them how they manage to keep up the constant struggle generation after generation, a lamien from the community told us that the strength and resilience is given by the land. The community protects the land because they love her and the land gives them the energy to continue the struggle. Don't you find it beautiful to have this reciprocal relationship with the land you inhabit? Loving and protecting a territory should not cost anyone their life.

On Saturday was my 34 añitos birthday. I got to do basically everything that makes me happy: foraging in a beautiful forest, fermenting and learning about wild foods, eating delicious food, listening to live music in a pizza & poetry night that turned out into a regueton party 💥 I was immerse doing things that light up my heart and senses, surrounded by very special humans and more-than-humans that made this day extra-special. Your presence, generosity, care and joy are the best present I could ever ask for ✨🍄🌱 (Also I didn’t have internet connection, so thank you all that we’re sending messages and telepathic love, I got them all🙃) .

May I. May you. May we all be happy, safe and free and find our gifts to put them at the service of others ☸️🌊
Dear Master, to hold sacred all that is dear to me. Today I remember all my loved ones who have passed away this year and all ancestors known and unknown. A broken heart is an open heart that can hold more. More grief, more pain, but also more love, more awe, more compassion.

Feliz día de los muertos 🐍🌋

Call them by their name

The colonial need to name, classify and appropriate, calling everything that existed a “discovery”. The scientific names of plants are a list of men celebrating them selves and other men. Let’s re-learn their real names, their ways and the ways of those who take care of them. 🌿

Learning new-old languages from these amazing beings that thrive where most of us are too afraid to even look. Perhaps that is precisely why I have become so obsessed with them this year.
Too much pain, too much grief, too many doubts and questions about death. And yet, here they are turning all dead matter into nutrients and minerals that make other lives possible again. They feed on death and turn themselves into food, poison or even medicine for the body and for the soul.
I go to the forest with eyes, ears and heart open, eager to learn how to compost all kinds of deaths and be of benefit to many 🍄✨
