Reflections from Guardians of Sacred gathering of Wisdom Keepers + Chaco Canyon…

I’m coming back from a gathering with my heart full and realigned. I knew I had to attend this gathering where one of my main teachers, Fredy Puma Quispe Singona, would be present, as well as Magaly and Wilfredo from the Andean mountains. Puma has not been in the USA for over 10 years, and it was Magaly’s first time here. They have both been there for me during the most pivotal moments and invited me into a lineage that has changed and shifted my life in ways beyond my wildest dreams.
The weekend was filled with laughter, ceremony, joy, and storytelling. I felt honored to sit with wisdom keepers from around the world and hear the songs and voices of the ancestors through the living wisdom carriers. The synchronicities were too many to name — including a ceremony led by a woman with whom I share lineage through the sacred plants of Noya Rao and Bobinsana, as well as wisdom from local Native elders, Māori dance and song, Chinese Qi Gong, and of course a sacred journey to Chaco Canyon.
All in all, it felt like a realignment into a more organic way of being — more attuned to earth time and in harmony with my sacred life path and embodied vision.
As we prepare for the holidays, we honor this coming week as Truthsgiving — a time of shared celebration and harmony, as we emerge from the collective shadows of colonization and the atrocities of the past to reclaim our ancestral roots and bring strength, harmony, and balance into what wants to be reclaimed: sovereignty, truth, and justice for all. We wish you a beautiful seasonal celebration. We are grateful to our community, which has been part of The Center ATX, and welcome you into our newest programs.
Looking forward….
In these late Fall / Winter times, we are being called to go inward — to listen softly, to release, to let go of everything we were told we are, and to return to the origin, the center, the place we all know as home: that source of all creation, of humanity, of ourselves. We are being called to get back to our roots, to connect deeply, and to begin making space for greater abundance and joy. We’ve learned hard lessons. We are dreaming into the future.
Can you hear the whispers? Can you hear the call?
To dream a New World is to hold vision — to remember the power in your womb space, your sacred fire within. Take a moment to close your eyes. To breathe deeply. To turn inward. As we make space for what is here and what is yet to come.
We are about a month away from the Winter Solstice, a pivotal time marking the change of seasons and the entering of the sacred cave. There is so much support in this season — so much support that anything is possible.
We invite you to join us for an upcoming event where you can share a story, poem, or song — where you can witness or be witnessed. A fun night of arts and storytelling along with a Winter Solstice ritual. This is a one-of-a-kind event with myself, Crystal, founder of The Condor Vision and The Center ATX, along with Eamon Willow, bringing our two lineages together into one shared space as a cross-cultural emergence and communion with our ancestors in a time and place that is auspicious and emergent. We hope you will join us.
And… if you are hearing the call — if you are a new Earth leader, if you are a practitioner of earth-based wisdom, or if you are ready to step deeper into your practices of reconnection — we invite you to be part of our Wisdom Circle in the New Year. This is the first; there will be more to come in 2026, but this will be the one and only time it will be by donation. Future circles will be tuition-based and part of a larger program. We would love to hear from you.
Peace, love, and harmony to all.
