ACCOMPLISHMENTS

What sets TEYUNA apart is the strong connection at heart at level between our team members and our unwavering commitment to become better stewards of  our earth mother, through the ancient wisdom teachings of the Mamos. We believe that honesty, transparency and collaboration are the keys to success for Teyuna Foundation's purposeful mission.

PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS
​​​
  • Supported the efforts of Kogi-Wiwa Mamo Senchina and Habba Maria Luisa Nakogui Mojica in working towards the establishment of the Shindwa Wisdom School, a spiritual foundation rooted in the Law of Origin — a sacred code upheld through traditional music and vibratory principles that sustain all living beings. This wisdom is preserved through music, instrument making, language programs, and traditional arts, reinforcing the Teyuna’s duty to protect and pass down these teachings.

​​

  • Provided support in the cultivation of native sacred seeds and seedlings, essential for the sacred practices of Teyuna women. Guided by the zagas, revered female elders, weaving transcends craft — it is an ancestral rite of passage and a lifelong meditation. Each thread carries sacred intentions, weaving harmony and balance into the world around us. The black, orange, and white cactus, along with cotton, are not merely materials but living spirits, intertwined with our tradition and the Earth’s vitality. In today’s modern world, where deforestation threatens these sacred plants, the loss resonates deeply, calling us to restore and protect what sustains both our ancestors’ wisdom and the future of all life.

​​

  • Provided funding for traditional medical care and emergencies, helping communities access healing resources that honor ancestral practices.

​​

  • Completed Cross-Country Pagamento - A 10,432-mile journey with seven Mamos to spread awareness of the Law of Origin across North America, fostering deeper connections and preserving sacred knowledge.

​​

  • Fostered “Ungumas” (community gatherings) to bring together indigenous and non-indigenous people to reconnect through shared experiences and teachings, countering the disconnection caused by modern technology.

​

  • Supported  the work to sustain Teyuna women's sacred weaving practices — a meditative tradition that nurtures positive energy for the Earth — where efforts are made to preserve native plants like sacred cactus and cotton, which have been endangered by deforestation.

CURRENT WORK

​

Since early 2024 one of  our main focuses has been on facilitating the exchange of the Kogi and Wiwa elders' profound ancestral wisdom through dedicated workshops. By sharing these sacred traditions, we empower the modern world with invaluable tools to reconnect with Mother Earth. Bringing the ancient knowledge of the Kogi and Wiwa into contemporary life has proven to be a deeply transformative experience, offering ways to heal and restore balance. We continue to build collaborative efforts with the Mamos and Sagas — the revered guardians of this wisdom — as we move toward a future where ancient teachings and the modern world can coexist in harmony, guiding us toward a more harmonious existence.
