Join us in empowering indigenous wisdom.
This cultural exchange will allow us to deepen our experience of ancestral knowledge through cultural workshops, music and sacred ceremonial experiences. The reunions and exchanges of knowledge will always be ideal to nourish our minds, our being, and, therefore, that essence that characterizes us. Everything goes in common directions for many: enriching our spirit, knowledge, connection with the wise nature, and strengthening ties between tribes, in addition to bringing the public closer to their practices and traditions. And with the above, I am referring to the event “Ancestral Culture”, which will take place on Saturday, March 16, and Sunday, March 17 in Jacó, Puntarenas.
