How Spirit Speaks (Currently in Development)

The Wiwa tribe are descendants of the Tayrona civilisation. As spiritual care-takers and guardians of the Sierra Nevadas, Colombia, they transmit teachings on how to create balance in our thoughts and uphold obligations  to nature by paying back debts through offerings.
