Maestro Manuel Rufino invites you to a special event with spiritual leaders from North and South America who recently took over 4 years to hike the Sierra Madres 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, the water, the air, the animals, and with each other. 

Join us for a special talk with Maestro Manuel Rufino, Pacha K'anchay and Yashak Yanakuna de Colombia. They are Kogi and were chosen to carry this message from the Council of Elders.

Cost: $15
