The Four Sacred Pillars of Our Path

At the heart of our practice is a sacred path rooted in the ancestral Andean tradition of Sumak Kawsay—a way of living in harmony with the Earth, Spirit, and all beings. This path is guided by four foundational principles that shape the essence of our healing ceremonies, San Pedro rituals, and spiritual gatherings in Tampa and beyond.

1. Jatun Muskuy – The Beautiful Sharing

We honor the sacred act of sharing as a reflection of collective consciousness. Through community, prayer, and intentional gathering, we co-create a space where healing and connection become possible. True transformation begins when we share from the heart, recognizing that we are all part of a greater whole.

2. Jampi Kawsay – Life is Medicine

Every breath, every emotion, and every experience carries the potential for healing. Whether through sacred plant medicine, prayerful ceremony, or spiritual retreat, we remember that life itself is a divine teacher. The medicine is already within and all around us—waiting to be remembered, honored, and embraced.

3. Tukuy Yachay – Everything is Wisdom

Wisdom lives in all things: in the elements, in silence, and in the stories we carry. We learn from the Earth, from the cycles of life, and from both joy and sorrow.
Each moment offers an opportunity to awaken deeper understanding, spiritual insight, and conscious presence.

4. Pachamama – The Time of the Mother

This is the time of the Divine Feminine—the sacred return to Pachamama, our Earth Mother. We honor Her through ceremonial offerings, sustainable living, and deep reverence for Her rhythms. She is the heartbeat of this path, guiding us back into balance, nourishment, and sacred remembrance.
