"We need to keep hope alive. It is like a never-ending story. In my village there is violence. What is happening in my village is happening in the world. At this moment, we need our faith. We need to make that faith stronger so we can continue doing our spiritual work and continue helping others".
Abuela Julieta Casimiro. Mazatec elder, from Huautla de Jimenez, carries the tradition of healing and ceremonies with the use of sacred plants, the pre-hispanic Teonanactl, “Niños Santos” way.
Abuela Julieta is one of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers from all over the world —the Arctic Circle, North, South and Central America, Africa, and Asia—, they represent a global alliance of prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth, all Her inhabitants, all the children.
"We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction of our Mother Earth and the destruction of indigenous ways of life. We believe the teachings of our ancestors will light our way through an uncertain future. We look to further our vision through the realization of projects that protect our diverse cultures: lands, medicines, language and ceremonial ways of prayer and through projects that educate and nurture our children."
