“Hands of Women” Meeting

In May 2024, Takiwasi welcomed a group of 12 indigenous women leaders from Ecuador, from different Amazonian ethnic groups: Siona, Waorani, Cofán, Siekopai, and from the Cayambi community in the Ecuadorian highlands. They participated in an intense 10-day program, with plants intake and various rituals and workshops. It has been a very meaningful work, of support, collaboration and, above all, of reconnection with their roots, spirituality and territory.
