Mayan Wisdom Tradition Practices with Solveig Barrios
Listen now
Description
In today’s episode, I’ll be speaking with Solveig Barrios, the co-founder of The Mayan Wisdom Project, a Guatemala-based Indigenous education platform and marketplace bringing ancient Maya teachings, culture, and wisdom to the modern world. Driven by concern over the misappropriation and dilution of Mayan traditions, Solveig has repurposed deep insights and lessons from her late father, the renowned Mayan spiritual leader, Tata Carlos Barrios, into online educational content for a burgeoning international community. In addition to providing masterclasses on mental health, wellness, and transformative Mayan practices, Solveig leads community projects with leaders of the Q'eqchi Maya nation in the town of Lanquin, Guatemala, in order to uplift and empower them. To support the local economy in Guatemala, the Mayan Wisdom Project works directly with Indigenous, family-owned businesses and regenerative farmers to bring their products to the global market. We talk about the following and so much more: The inspiration behind the Mayan Wisdom Project and what motivated her to embark on this journey The significance of Mayan wisdom in today's world, and why she believes it is important to share it with others How she goes about collecting and preserving Mayan wisdom, and what methods does she use to ensure its authenticity and accuracy Some key teachings or insights from Mayan wisdom that she believes are particularly relevant or impactful for people today What can we learn from their perspective on time and the cosmos?
