Experiential Seminar for Indigenous Students
Between late April and early May, a group of young Indigenous people from the Waorani, Kofan, and Siekopai nations of the Ecuadorian Amazon participated in an experiential seminar at Takiwasi to reconnect with their identity, ancestral medicine, and cultural roots. Through plants intake, therapeutic workshops, and moments of deep introspection, these young people began a process of personal healing that strengthened them and gave them new tools to face the challenges their communities face, such as alcoholism, suicide, and the loss of cultural identity.
