for me it is a pleasure to be with you
Today’s afternoon is an honor to share
with you a story that starts
approximately 25 years ago traveling
of inter-semester holidays to santa
Marta was a student
and I was very interested in the indigenous
selling their backpacks and their crafts
there in the rodadero began to talk with
they
to try to establish a contact to
try to understand them but there was something
that if I drew a lot of attention
and it was the way they offered
everything they did in a state
special awareness of mother earth
simple as a banana
they removed something they took something out of the
backpack opened a hole in the earth
to the one tree and deposited an offering
that was magical
they were impeccable not even the
heat has affected us I remember
perfectly that instant
maybe 22 years was 20 and spoke with
they the first times do not
I asked a lot if I could go to the mountains
or if they took me but if I tried
establish a dialogue or relationship with
him and so they spent more semesters of my
college
trying to go to santa marta or around
of thanks the snowfall and tell them that if
they took me until one day passed
indigenous young man looked at me and said let’s go
I take it and I take it by the sides of
Palomino which is the area that is close
of santa marta that first trip 14 months
I was with them trying to be part
from that community
basically working
the collection of banana coffee beans in the
day after day I went back to college
studying my career but started
understand that in this world they exist as
parallel lives what we carry
in the day to day and spiritual worlds of
a great depth and knowledge
ancestral began to pass the time and
the connections with those gentlemen of
the sierra became deeper I got
enter those communities little by little
but what most caught my attention
as a photographer was that there was not a
document there was absolutely nothing
it was an oral tradition absolutely
linear through time through
grandparents and great grandparents and grandchildren
and so they transmitted exactly that
knowledge then there was no
visual record
of that transmission of that feeling and of
that living in such a magical place and so
Special as the Sierra Nevada of Santa
Martha
It’s not easy but there are things that open
worlds and one of them is this
this speaks a language beyond the
human tongue and this opens doors
as long as it is connected to the
heart and soul so I started like that
of talk because I wish in a certain way
take them there through sound
in such a way that we begin to document
ancestral healing procedures
the earth who are the mamos who
are those people who live in that
magnificent place that is part of our
country are people who are in a state
permanent awareness of healing and
of thanks to the first source in
our existence that is the earth and
well it happened I met hands
that were already from a level too
little above
and I managed to enter them little by little
documenting this material and keeping
what in my office on computers
trying to keep moving forward in this
topic as a personal project but more
beyond a personal project is a
project that enriches is a project
that leads us to how to live in that line
of knowledge of those communities of
the saw this really what it does is
communicate with the mother with the source
who are the magicians
magicians are people who interpret
mother nature in human language is
an invaluable heritage of all the
world and especially the sierra these
gentlemen do not leave nature in
language that is the transmission of that
millennial knowledge today in
our real time
in such a way that they in these times
are determined to communicate with
we all all this humanity
we belong to the same floor all
affected we are our mother
land in such a way that the invitation
of these gentlemen is to try
communicate with this world in which
we live to make a state that
globalizes and heals the tender mother
Now what I’m going to do is very important
say
this material that you see has had
the opportunity to go to other places in the
world when we take the saw
then the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta
It is a sacred garden of a high level of
ancestral knowledge which has the
particularity of connecting with others
places in the world that have that same
level of ancestral knowledge as well
has been today of ancient wisdom also
we could say we have then
traveled to different continents and with
these gentlemen I learned that the only thing
what they do through life is
ask the mother earth that there is
do to heal those places that is the
sacred garden
the sacred garden is a place and you
they will be surprised that not only
healthy people who are in the mountains
nevada de santa marta heals the pain of
planet earth as it is done in the
trips we ‘ve been with the magician
we have managed to document how these
gentlemen establish a state of contact
with that place in the world asking what
you have to do to heal in that place
there is a very important element in the
work in the knowledge of magicians
of the sierra and this is
this is called the stain this in the
representation of the way and earth is
a backpack here the pain of the
planet is brought to the Sierra Nevada from
santa marta ascends to the place of
origin that is called k1 and there heals no
only the sierra but the whole world
in such a way that they exist today
worlds that want to work for this
planet by this source for this
universe for this place that inhabits us and
that welcomes us from the day we are born
until the day we die this is my
message for all of you a new
state of consciousness towards the world and
towards the infinite love of our mother
earth thank you very much
