About Us
SANTIAGO AYALA
The paths of life also led me to become a child of the Amazon. From my childhood, I hold in my memory the thunder horse, the winds, the trees, the flowers, the animals, and the living force of nature. Later, the páramo called to me and allowed me to recognize a wisdom that, in reality, had always resided within me.
The Andean páramo, the Amazon rainforest, and the Pacific Ocean became my teachers. Through them, I learned to listen to the language of the wind, the water, the fire, and our Mother Earth, with her invisible songs and her profound teaching of reciprocity.
I am heir to ancient knowledge that comes from afar, from the ancestors and the living memory of these lands. A child of the Earth who has walked among mountains, lagoons, forests, and rivers, remembering, step by step, who I truly am.
Today, I share that path from the heart, in service to Buen Vivir (Living Well), healing, and the encounter with our most authentic essence.
I am Inca Paqo. Chumpi Stone. Northern Crescent Moon. Sacred Pipe. Nagual and Tonal.
And I am also simply another human being, heir to the peaks, the lagoons, the seas, and all the life that inhabits this land.
Ancestral and magical essence of Ecuador.
INTI WASI JAGUAR
Inti Wasi is the return of the Andean.It is that which remained alive despite the brutality of colonialism; that magical and intimate language that ancestral peoples and communities knew how to safeguard and patiently wait to share in their sacred moment.It is the sacred, encrypted, and secret language.The memory that dwells in the stones, in the water, and in the golden grasslands. The voice of the soul. The innermost part of our being. That knowledge so often ignored, but which remains alive for those willing to listen.It is that which only the initiated know.Genetic spirituality.
The return of Andean ritual. That which reminds us of the value of life and how to preserve it. That which exists beyond the self.It is a marvelous and authentic language that expresses itself through symbols, signs, and mysteries; a wisdom that prefers the esoteric to the obvious. It is the revelation of that which time cannot erase.
Because the guardians and custodians of this philosophy of life preserved it generation after generation, transmitting it orally, keeping the memory of the ancestors alive.
Qhapaq Kuna, in its deepest cultural sense, is the art of living well.Qhapaq Ñan, the Path of the Righteous, the Path of the Noble.
The balance between thought and feeling.The harmony between humankind, community, nature, and spirit.That which only a few manage to fully embody.The encounter between myth and reality.The possibility of a conscious and balanced society.
Sumak Kawsay, living with excellence, fullness, and beauty.That is Inti Wasi Jaguar.An initiatory school.The school of the wind.
The school of my ancestors.A space to remember what has always dwelled within us.
