Please join us for an engaging discussion about the Wixarika Culture and its cosmovision
It is our joy and honour to have Marakame (Medicine man) Eusebio and Eugenio (musician

This is an opportunity to learn about the culture, traditions and art of the Wirrarika people.
Through the oral history passed down from generation to generation, about the origin of creation, the ceremonies and sacred relation to Mother Earth and the elements.
Eugenio and Eusebio come from a very powerful and deeply connected ancient indigenous lineage. Deeply connected to Grandfather fire, the Nature Spirits, the Cosmos and Mother.
