In the last episode of the mini-series "Best Practices for Working with Indigenous Healers and Their Communities," we're sharing a coca reading about Traditional Medicine and Caara's work. We asked the Q'ero to ask Mother Earth and the Sacred Mountains what they think of this project and if it's good. We're working to have the coca reading up on Youtube by the time this episode is released so you can read along. After this episode, we will take a break to work on a free webinar to give you everything you need to navigate your healing using Traditional Indigenous Medicines of South America.

Our last episode discussed how worker-owned or community-owned cooperative business structures harmonize with Amazonian and High Andean Q'ero traditions. Democratic workplaces safeguard communities, ensure no abuse takes place, and helps distribute wealth more evenly. Although projects can take on a more conventional business model until the project is successful, anyone working with these traditions should prepare for the day that they have to convert their business into a cooperative. In today's episode, we discuss what could happen if you decide not to respect these traditions and don't walk this path of power with the communities you're in business with.

This episode discusses how worker-owned or community-owned businesses are the best structures for projects working with these indigenous healers and their communities. These businesses bring democracy into the workplace and harmonize with these healing traditions. The idea of capitalism is not native to the Americas. Although we live in a capitalist society, we must preserve these traditions by honoring them and creating businesses that are in harmony with them. Sometimes a conventional business is more practical at first, but our goal should always be to convert these businesses to maximize their value for these communities.

In this episode, we're discussing best practices for working with indigenous healers and their communities. To start this conversation, we must examine the science behind keeping human populations healthy and happy. We will review what anthropologists and epidemiologists (health experts who study large human populations) have found out regarding this topic and how this same wisdom is embedded into the fabric of both Amazonian and High Andean Q'ero healing traditions.

In our mini-series on what power is, we've talked about how power is the ability to hold space for good things to happen and how virtues like radical compassion and service to this planet are part of the keys to unlocking high levels of power. Now in this episode, we discuss Mother Earth and her energetic role in helping us to reach new levels of power. Just like a marathon runner would not be able to run long distances without the proper nutrition, we also cannot access high levels of consciousness and power without this planet's energetic and spiritual nourishment.

In this episode, we delve deeper into the exploration of power, drawing from personal experiences. I share insights gained from Ayahuasca training, recounting simulations in ceremonies that illuminate the essence of power. Join me on this journey through the Amazonian and High Andean Q’ero healing traditions, uncovering valuable lessons along the way.

In today's episode, we continue discussing power and what power is for wisdom keepers in the Andes and the Amazon. And it's not just the way wisdom keepers of the Andes or the Amazon view power; it is multiple religions and spiritual disciplines saying the same thing. Why? Because they are tapping into the same truth. Today we talk about how Amazonian healers and Q'ero healers walk the path to power and follow the same path as bible scriptures and other texts from other disciplines without having a book of their own. Instead of reading about the way to power or enlightenment, they are walking it and crossing into the spiritual side of life.

For indigenous healers in both the Amazon and High Andes, power is the ability to hold space for good things to happen. To build and access power, healers must undergo a challenging, energetic, and spiritual refinement process that helps them bring powerful medicine into this world. In this episode, we discuss what power means in these traditions and how they compare to other traditions and religions that outline the path to power or enlightenment.
