At Sachamama Center, you will become familiar with the cosmovision of the Kichwa-Lamista (agriculture, gastronomy, medicinal plants, their relationship with the forest), while also learning basic notions of Quechua throughout the Spanish course, and provide you with tools to increase communication in a globalized world.
Sachamama Center hopes to model a practice of a post-colonial, critical anthropology in horizontal, mutual, and inter-cultural collaboration with the Kichwa-Lamistas. The Center acts as an education, research and retreat center on the beautiful grounds of Casa La Sangapilla in the town of Lamas.
The Center also received status as a project of the Ecological Democracy Institute of North America in 2010. Projects at Sachamama Center include the Chacra-Huerto project, Ecological Literacy through Pre-Columbian Amazonian Permaculture and Project Qinti Qartunira, which strives to preserve the Quechua language through books recording the Quichwa-Lamistas life experiences, memories, songs, legends, knowledge and much more.
