Statement of Faith
Independientemente de cómo fue la historia de nuestras familias indígenas y mestizas de América, nuestra tradición ha permanecido gracias a que los principios de identidad y sabiduría nativa, se han conservado en un proceso de transmisión oral y vivencial de nuestros médicos tradicionales.
Han sido los curanderos tradicionales los que han conservado, practicado y vivido los principios del Sumak Kawsay.
De nuestros abuelos aprendimos que esas enseñanzas, sencillas y amorosas, pueden resumirse en cuatro enunciados que rigen los principios del conocimiento.
Sumak Kawsay is a lifestyle that is based on 4 fundamentals:
SUMAK KAMAÑA y JATUN MUSKUY
The beautiful sharing: a manifestation of the collective dream and the individual dream. We come into this life to share our dreams.
JAMPI KAWSAY
Life is medicine: everything is medicine and health is essential. We are medicine and everything around us is to help us heal.
TUCUY YACHAY
Everything is wisdom: we appreciate everything that surrounds us because everything has wisdom. This awareness leads us to maintain a lifestyle close to nature because it is she who keeps alive the memory of ancestral wisdom.
PACHAMAMA
The time of the mother: We recognize ourselves as children of Mother Earth and relatives of all beings that inhabit her. The Mother is considered, honored, and respected as a living and ancient being. Our family is everything and everyone inhabiting this planet - plants, animals, fungi, and minerals. All living beings must be protected, honored, and respected.
