Pacha K'anchay and Yashak Yanakuna: members of the Kogi Council of Elders

Spiritual leaders from North and South America recently took over 4 years to hike and closely study the peaks of 9 sacred mountains. 
Their observations about what the mountains are reflecting speak strongly to our current relationships with the earth, water, air, animals, and with each other.
