Not-for-profit organization and spiritual center to preserve and share the traditions of the Andean medicine healers. Dedicated to planting seeds for wholeness. The Andean Research Institute (ARI) exists to support Andean and Amazon cultures and the wisdom keepers who have been gifting us their extraordinary knowledge for decades. Theirs is the wisdom of abundant life and well-being. It is the wisdom that generates collective action fueled by collective vision and love; this kind of action always produced nourishment and fulfillment for existing generations and for all those to come. It is for our future that we must remember these wisdom keepers stand behind us, supporting us in tending our world. In turn, in minka (abundance-producing relationship at collective levels), we must support them and their children.
