About this Event
Welcome to Philadelphia Tour Event 1 of 4:
Teyuna Sacred Teachings on the Feminine Principle
The Teyuna exist in deep communion with every living thing. Given their utmost dedication to the Earth Mother, the Teyuna hold the Feminine as absolutely sacred.
In their first ever visit to Philadelphia, gather with the Teyuna mamos (male spiritual leaders) and a zaga (female spiritual leader)to experience their sacred teachings of the Feminine Principle. Learn from their deep meditative listening, compassionate leadership skills, and service to the Earth Mother.
**Note: This talk will take place at the Coach House on the Bartram's property. You can park in the normal parking lot near the Barn. People will be on site to help direct you to the Coach House.**
Why is this Philadelphia Tour so special?
- This trip marks the first time in history that a Teyuna zaga (female spiritual leader) will be in the United States, offering female wisdom into the sacred teachings and earth healing practices.
- On this trip the Teyuna Foundation is launching research into the diverse environmental and community impacts of Teyuna healing practices. It aims to generate deeper understanding of the union of the sacred and ecological, and to apply a careful, integrative approach that allows the rest of the world to better appreciate the power of Teyuna wisdom in practice.
Join us for all of the Philadelphia Tour Events!
- Thursday, 9/5: Teyuna Sacred Teachings on the Feminine Principle
- Friday, 9/6: Teyuna Sacred Teachings on the Four Vital Signs that they work with to ensure the health of any environment
- Saturday, 9/7: Personal Pagamento (Healing) - Balancing Our Internal Waters
- Sunday, 9/8: Earth Pagamento & Wisdom on Earth Stewardship. This event is a major healing for the lands of Philadelphia. Also, it is the kick-off for the integrative research project. By attending you will be contributing live to this unprecedented moment in time!

The Teyuna—a name that means “thinker of clear thoughts”—are one of the few indigenous cultures whose wisdom survived colonization. Their lives, especially those of their mamos and zagas (male and female spiritual leaders), are dedicated to upholding “Earth’s Original Law,” which states that everyone must protect and nurture the planet—our collective home.
The Teyuna people consist of 4 tribes: the Arhuaco, the Kankuamo, the Kogi, and the Wiwa. They live in harmony with nature in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Columbia, the land they call “The Heart of the World.” In recent years they have risked coming down from the sacred mountains to share the wisdom of Mother Earth with the rest of humanity, especially the messages to restore balance.
With recent travels in the United States, the mamos have been able to share their teaching, healing and stewardship across many communities. They have been able to connect deeply with humans who are eager to help further sow & grow these seeds of wisdom.
Now is an exciting time in the Teyuna people’s journey of promoting greater consciousness and earth stewardship around the planet. Thank you for joining us in this journey!
The aim of the study is to generate knowledge into the power of the Teyuna’s traditional healing practices that is directly translatable to Western audiences. Results from the research will include:
- Greater awareness of the power of the Teyuna’s work and why it needs to be supported by society at large
- Increased ability for Teyuna to conduct their teachings & practices in service of planetary & personal healing
- More rapid growth of our global community of earth stewards
- Development of additional research studies and partnerships to further expand knowledge of the power of Teyuna ways
Research Phases that Need Funding
To be successful, we are upholding the highest standards of scientific practice & working within a dedicated, respected research community.
This research intiative has 4 main phases that require funding to cover expenses ranging from travel to top quality lab analysis. As our campaign raises more funds, we will be able to advance through the research phases and add additional sites for healing and learning.
Phase 1 - Philadelphia Water Healing Site: Study of the effects of the water healing that the mamos will be conducting in Philadelphia, PA on Sunday, September 8th. (You also could attend this event!) Costs also include travel expenses to bring the mamos and a zaga to Philadelphia.
Phase 2 - Corresponding Sierra Nevada Healing Site: According to Teyuna cosmology, the sacred mountains of the Sierra Nevada are the micro-cosmos of the entire planet. As such, every healing that the mamos do outside of the Sierra Nevada has to be balanced with a healing at the corresponding “twin site” within the Sierra. This second phase of research will study the healing at the twin site within the Sierra Nevada and will require funds to arrange for travel and the same high standard of data collection (this time in Columbia).
Phase 3 - Deepening Knowledge of Philadelphia Site: With additional funds, the study can become more robust and compelling by studying the water changes at the original site over a longer period of time and at more frequent intervals
Phase 4 - Adding New Research Sites: Extending the research to additional sites is an important part of replicating results and enhancing scientific power. Any new site of a healing ceremony will require funding to: bring the Teyuna back to the United States, conduct and measure their healings at the new site, and then conduct and measure their healings at the new corresponding “twin site” in the Sierra Nevada. In effect, for every new site of healing in the US, we have to have sufficient funds to repeat research phases 1 & 2 above.
Join us in supporting this virtuous cycle of healing, research, learning and community!
From the "Heart of the World" to the City of Brotherly Love
Philadelphia is famous in US history for many firsts: first public library, first hospital, first volunteer fire department, the Nation’s first capital. But did you know that Philadelphia is also the home of the first municipal water system in the United States and one of the first municipal water systems in the world?
Fascinating Fact: “The Philadelphia Water Works, an engineering marvel, began operation in 1799, and during the 19th Century, the Water Works was the second most popular tourist site in the United States after Niagara Falls”*
To this day, Philadelphia is recognized around the globe as a city committed to water delivery as a civic responsibility. The city is a hub of internationally respected research laboratories, facilities, universities, pioneering scientists, practitioners, and activists. It also has a deep legacy in designing with Nature as opposed to designing in domination of Nature.**
Finally, well before Philadelphia was founded, the lands and waters of the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers were being cared for by Native Americans such as the Nentego and Lenape families who continue to dedicate themselves to healing the waters of the region.
We are thrilled to begin this research journey in communion with the fine people and lands of Philadelphia-- and with you!
With continued success in our fundraising, we will be able to continue developing and expanding this work to other locations around the world.
