PLANETA AGUA with Carmen Vicente
Together we center the role of Indigenous wisdom teachings in these critical times of transformation.
We are witnessing dominant systems that numb us and make us believe we are disconnected.
Through Indigenous teachings we realign ourselves into coherence with the living world and remember we are part of a larger wiser alive system of care.
​
Planeta Agua - March 6-8th - Indigenous Leader & teacher Carmen Vicente will lead us in elevating our culture of education through ancestral wisdom and the technology of the waters. This elemental education invites us to deeply listen and remember our connection to the living world. Our goal is to train our minds to become fierce allies, empower our bodies into collective action and open our hearts for emotional liberation.
CEREMONY
Together we remember the ceremonial ways of life. It is time to refine our capacity to listen, to reconnect to community and to answer the call for global consciousness.
​
Through ancient traditions and wisdom practices we surrender to the messages that are meant for us and we reignite clear vision so that we may walk our path with confidence and with the support of nature and community.
We will participate in communal Indigenous ceremonies guided by Carmen Vicente.

Carmen was born in the province of Loja, Ecuador.

In her adolescence she left her community to start a life in the city. She began her path in the theater in the sixties in Ecuador, performing on the most important stages and at festivals in America and Europe.

Three decades of experience in the theater, the arts, and her expansion of her original role, makes Carmen Vicente an exceptional woman recognized by authorities of different indigenous nations from North and South America, with whom she has established permanent alliances.
