Indigenous Soul Association and Erdenhüter e.V. invite you to join Camino Humano—a meaningful project in collaboration with the Kogi/Wiwa people of Colombia. Through intentional gatherings, we will integrate Indigenous wisdom into everyday practices, guided by pagamentos—ceremonial offerings of gratitude to the elemental spirits and creation. Our mission is to foster real-world ecological and inter-relational actions and partnerships, nurturing deeper bonds among people, communities, and the lands we share.
Initiating Ceremonial Houses: A Space for Ancestral Learning and Healing
As part of this Project, we are initiating Ceremonial Houses at different locations. These sacred spaces are designed to inspire humanity to embody Indigenous Soul Consciousness, aligning with and embodying the ancestral wisdom of the Earth and the Cosmos. Constructed from local materials and with the co-weaving of our Indigenous brothers and sisters, these Ceremonial Houses will provide a space for communities to gather around the fire—honoring traditions of communal learning, youth education, healing, and restoring harmony.
Intercultural Wisdom Exchange
Through Camino Humano, we also foster Intercultural Wisdom Exchange. Receiving the wisdom of our Indigenous siblings allows us to deepen our relationships with one another and exchange the wisdom we each carry. This process will weave the fabric of life further as we focus on learning the ancient ways of the Kogi/Wiwa, including the understanding of masculine and feminine archetypes, right relations in community, and the ancient wisdom of Earth guardianship and original craftsmanship. In addition, we aim to reconnect and recuperate our Ancestors European heritage, exploring ways to harmonize different ancient traditions and wisdoms in alignment with one another.
Therefore we are starting now with the “Camino Humano” in 2025, to weave connections, visit sacred sites and initiate gatherings, in which we can share an ‘indigenous soul space’ in fraternal connection with the Kogi from the Sierra Nevada Santa Marta de Colombia. It’s about sharing the way of our indigenous siblings, and to deepen the connection with Indigenous Soul and the Kogi-Community to also understand where we can support them with different Projects like buying back land, clean water supply etc. in the Sierra.
First Milestone 2023
It was a great blessing to be with the families of the Kogi and Wiwa. Through the connection we made with ‘Trade Winds Foundation’ in 2022 in Ibiza, we followed the invitation of Mamo Se (jose antonio mojica) by being present in the building of a ceremonial house.
We could set a first foundational Milestone through this initial stay in the Sierra. Here are some impressions from the temple building, Mamo Narciso working on the Loom, and with his family. And a shared moment at the fire with Mamo Se.

About Indigenous Soul
Indigenous Soul sees itself as a bridge, or connection point, where various threads of traditions, people and natural ways of living come together to inspire and co-create a new path for humanity. Guided by compassionate heart wisdom, we seek to unite the teachings of ancient wisdom with the future of a harmonious, balanced world.
The name Indigenous Soul signifies the perspective that, within the wheel of creation, all traditions, practices, and wisdom teachings share a same core. Today, these ancient teachings are coming together, joining forces, hearts, and hands. This core exists within every human being’s heart and soul—a place of meeting, healing, and alchemy that unites all of us.
Returning to Our Roots
At Indigenous Soul, we know that returning to our roots is essential to creating a strong and grounded reality—one where compassion, authenticity, and inner alignment nourish the future we want to see.
By reconnecting with Earth as a living, soulful being and embracing our soul’s inherent Indigenous wisdom, we are actively working to evolve into greater coherence between mind and heart, inner and outer, masculine and feminine aspects. Together, we are laying the foundation for a free, sovereign, and thriving human collective, rooted in unity, authenticity, and the wisdom of the Earth.
Indigenous Soul Founder
Cem Issah Pinarci & Nina Miriam Klingele
Issah and Miriam will play central roles in guiding “Camino Humano”. Their combined work, enriched by their experience and their embodiment of Indigenous Soul Consciousness, will focus on healing and balancing both the masculine and feminine energies, as well as restoring harmony with the Earth. Together with Mamo Narciso and Zaga Maria Luisa they will open the Space of individual Consultations.
Issah: Drawing from the sacred traditions of his Essene ancestors, he will lead participants through ancient Aramaic prayers, the practice of holy breath, and other sacred rituals that reconnect us to the divine forces of nature. He will guide with the embodiment of masculine energy, aligned with fire and air—action, will, and purpose—bringing clarity and spiritual strength to those who seek balance in their lives. leading facilitated gatherings, where he will share teachings and rituals that deepen participants' connection to the Earth, the elements, and the sacred forces at play in nature. He is working alongside the Kogi/Wiwa and Sven, fostering a deeper understanding of living in harmony with the Earth and its elements, integrating both the wisdom of the Kogi/Wiwa and his Ancestors practices.
Miriam Ma : As a channel for shamanic medicine and other healing sounds, connected to the divine feminine and womb consciousness, she will support participants in connecting with the feminine energy of earth and water—nurturing, intuition, and receptivity. Her sound healing practices, combined with the wisdom of the Kogi/Wiwa, will guide participants through deep emotional and spiritual healing, promoting balance and harmony in their being. She will be holding toning / voice activation circles that support in releasing, and harmonizing mind and heart.
Marco: As a co-founder of Indigenous Soul Association and steward of Hekamiah Ibiza, I will host a part of the Camino Humano journey in Ibiza, beginning April 4, 2025. My role is to deepen our connection to nature, learning from the Kogi/Wiwa how to honor the land through practices like natural building and pagamentos. Inspired by a chance encounter with the Kogi in 2014 while camping in Parque Tayrona I’m curious and looking forward to it now in a new context. I’m committed to bridging humanity and nature and supporting their message. By hosting this gathering, I aim to support the creation and further weaving of a potential Ceremonial House either at our home Hekamiah or on a suitable space for it and inspire others to live as one with the Earth, serving her humbly while also supporting the Kogi/Wiwa’s mission.

Sven: Co-founder of the Earth Keepers Association and partner of Indigenous Soul, will bring his deep knowledge of ecological stewardship to the retreat, helping participants integrate the teachings of sustainability with spiritual healing practices. His experience will bridge modern ecological practices with indigenous wisdom, creating a unified approach for both environmental and personal transformation.
The Mamo and Zaga, as spiritual leaders and healers of the Kogi/Wiwa people, bring ancient Indigenous teachings that are integral to the healing journey. Their wisdom in pagamento and sacred rituals, focusing on restoring relationships, the connection with the Earth and the elements, will work in harmony with the teachings of Issah and Miriam.
The Kogi teach that everything in nature is alive and interconnected. When we take from the earth, we must also give back. A pagamento is a sacred act of restoring balance. It is an acknowledgment that we are part of a greater living system, and that our well-being depends on our ability to care for and maintain harmony within it.
This retreat will not only be an opportunity for deep healing but also a chance to build the foundations of a more balanced and sacred world, strengthening all our inner and outer relations.
We will also raise funds for land acquisition to support Indigenous Soul and the Kogi/Wiwa communities in their efforts in preserving their sacred lands in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia and work in authentic human relation, together with Indigenous Soul.
Kogi & Wiwa Delegation
Mamo
Mamo Narciso Sauna Mamatacan (Autoridades Kogi Mamo 55 years)
Mamo Narciso is a revered spiritual leader and elder from the Kogi. As a Kogi Mamo, his role is to serve as a guardian of ancestral knowledge, a healer, and a guide who maintains the balance between the physical and spiritual worlds. His deep connection with the land, the natural world, and the spiritual forces that govern it is the foundation of his work.
Mamo Narciso's responsibilities include performing sacred rituals, offering guidance to the community, and preserving the ancient traditions of the Kogi people. He is entrusted with the protection of their sacred lands, ensuring the harmony of nature, and guiding his people through complex spiritual and cultural matters. His knowledge of the cycles of the earth, and the spiritual wisdom passed down through generations is essential in maintaining the balance of life within the community.
His role extends beyond the tribe; Mamo Narciso is a messenger of the Kogi’s deep wisdom, reminding the wider world of the importance of respecting the earth and its cycles. His travels, including the upcoming journey to Europe, present an opportunity to share the Kogi people’s message about the interconnectedness of all life and the urgent need to protect the environment for future generations.
Zaga Maria Luisa Mojica
Zaga Maria Luisa daughter of mamo Se, is a revered spiritual leader within the Kogi Wiwa tribe. Similar to Mamo Narciso, she holds a critical role in upholding the spiritual and ecological balance of the world.
As a woman in the Kogi tribe, she plays a central role in education and cultural transmission. Zaga helps carry out rituals, teaches the younger generations about the tribe’s customs, and fosters the values of respect and reverence for the earth.
She also assists in rituals that ensure the prosperity of the tribe and maintains a deep connection with the sacred nature of life.
Jose Mojica
He is a Master of Temple Construction and grandson of Ade Mamo Se Jose Antonio Mojica, a 120-year-old Mamo who recently passed away.
He has inherited extensive ancestral knowledge passed down through generations. However, it was primarily his own father, Jose Antonio Mojica, who played a crucial role in his training as a temple builder. Through his teachings, Jose Antonio not only imparted the practical techniques of construction but also the profound spiritual wisdom that forms the heart of the sacred architecture of the Wiwa people. This knowledge of how to build temples that align with cosmic and spiritual forces was crucial in shaping Jose Mojica into the master builder he is today. From a young age, he learned the importance of creating spaces that are not only physical but also spiritual, meant to preserve harmony between people, nature, and the invisible forces governing life. This knowledge is rooted in the idea that building a temple is a sacred act, a manifestation of respect for the Earth and the spirits inhabiting it.
Jose Mojica's upcoming travels, such as those to Europe, offer him a unique opportunity to share this ancient wisdom. Through his teachings, he not only preserves the legacy of his father but also emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with nature, a value taught by his family that remains at the heart of the Wiwa/Kogi people's way of life.
Ibiza Spain / Indigenous Soul - Hekamiah 4-14 April
Our journey begins in Ibiza on April 4, 2025, where we will stay on the land of Marco, co-founder of Indigenous Soul, and Paola, guardian of Hekamiah, for 10 days. This sacred space serves as the foundation for connecting with the community that has substantial resources, knowledge and global networks, which will powerfully support indigenous-led ecological and intercultural efforts.
Hekamiah is a sacred land dedicated to transformation, ecological regeneration, and bringing the community of Ibiza together. It serves as a powerful foundation for spiritual growth, where individuals can reconnect with themselves, the Earth & the Sun. Hekamiah’s mission aligns with Indigenous Soul, as it fosters a space for honoring ancient wisdom, nurturing of the land, and cultivating practices that support ecological and spiritual balance. Through Hekamiah, participants are invited to deepen their relationship with nature and contribute to global ecological efforts.
Paola and Marco are passionate advocates for environmental sustainability and the integration of indigenous wisdom into modern life. Marco’s experience in land protection and ecological stewardship complements Paola’s work in bridging indigenous teachings with contemporary spiritual practices.
A 4-Day pagamento immersion - Deep Pagamento Process
The 4-day pagamento retreat where we first all come together will mark the beginning of the potential building of a ceremonial house in Ibiza in the near future. A sacred space that will support our ongoing holy relationship to the land and to each other in the community. This house will stand as a physical embodiment of our commitment to recuperate our ancestral wisdom, reawaken and embody this wisdom in the now time, for our generations to come. This process will also support the Kogi/Wiwa in strengthening their still intact embodiment of their ancestral wisdom in everyday life.This retreat will be led by Issah, Miriam Ma, Sven, and the Kogi/Wiwa people hosted at Hekamiah Ibiza. The Kogi/Wiwa will bring their profound spiritual wisdom, helping guide us in sacred practices that balance humanity’s relationship with nature, themselves, and other humans. This collective retreat and pagamento work will focus on healing and restoring the sacred balance between the masculine and feminine energies, as well as the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether.
In addition to these teachings, José Mojica, the master builder from the Wiwa people, will join us to speak about the construction of ceremonial houses. José, with his expertise in sacred architecture, will help us understand how to build spaces that honor the Earth’s energies and the ancestral wisdom of his people. His teachings on the sacred geometry of temple construction will inform our future work, where we will build structures that align with natural and cosmic forces, providing a physical space for our sacred practices.
Collaboration Indigenous Soul & Hekamiah
The collaboration between Hekamiah, Marco, Paola, and Indigenous Soul is rooted in a shared commitment to ecological restoration, spiritual embodiment, and honoring Indigenous knowledge. This partnership offers transformative experiences that bring together people from diverse backgrounds to engage in rituals, workshops, and projects that support both the land and the spirit. Through this collaboration, Hekamiah Ibiza and its stewards are aiming to deepen the connection to their land.
Together, Hekamiah, Marco, Paola, and Indigenous Soul are creating a space for healing and transformation that bridges ancient wisdom with the embodiment of living with the elements with Indigenous soul and with contemporary actions, guiding individuals toward a harmonious, sustainable future.
Germany / Indigenous Soul / Earth Guardian land April 14 - 23
On April 14 - 23.4, we will gather at the Land of Earth Keepers Association (Erdenhüter e.v.) in the Eifel region of Germany, in a strong community tradition of coming together at the fire and focusing on the relationship work and the maintenance of their land, materially and spiritually. Our goal is to weave Indigenous perspectives into these practices, hosting hands-on workshops around community living, regenerative agriculture, and biodiversity protection. Through these activities, we will explore concrete strategies for harmonizing modern European approaches with ancestral wisdom.
During our stay, we will hold a 4-day pagamento healing retreat that is dedicated to initiate the future building of an ancestral ceremonial house.
This sacred pagamento retreat will again be guided by Issah, Miriam, Sven, and spiritual leaders from the Kogi/Wiwa, including the Mamo and Zaga. Together, they will guide participants into a holy relationship with the Earth, the Sun, the elements and oneself. Focusing on balancing and healing the masculine and feminine energies, as well as restoring harmony within ourselves and with nature.
The retreat will also incorporate pagamento, a sacred Indigenous practice focused on healing and restoring balance. Participants will engage deeply with the elements—earth, air, fire, and water—learning how to embody these forces in their daily lives, not just as abstract concepts but as living energies that shape and sustain us. Through this work, we will restore balance and unity within ourselves and in our relationship with the natural world. By merging the Indigenous wisdom of the Kogi/Wiwa with modern ecological practices, this retreat offers a holistic approach to both spiritual and environmental healing, honoring the sacredness of the Earth and deepening our connection to its life-giving forces.
With Indigenous Soul, we will learn to embody the elements in our daily lives—not just as abstract concepts, but as living forces that shape and sustain us, in being in physical and spiritual contact with it.
In the heart of Switzerland, at Älgisalp, the geographical center point near Lucerne, and alongside the serene waters of Lake Zurich, we will perform pagamentos—acts of sacred reciprocity—with the Kogi people. These sacred rituals will further take place at the source of the Rhine and at various authorities of the lands, allowing us to connect deeply with the land and its energies.
Rita, the ‘Swiss Kogi woman’, will share her presence, and has already many years of relationship and experiences with the Kogi people. She is an active member of the Indigenous Soul Association. Drawing from her unique experiences, she will offer sacred sounds that resonate with the heart, enriching the pagamentos and our connection to the land. Her offering will deepen our collective experience, helping us tune into the spiritual forces of the Earth through sound and presence.
The pagamentos will open us up to the strong spirit of Switzerland, showing our dedication to the land’s preservation. We will also seek to find and free a piece of land for Indigenous Soul—a sanctuary for sacred practices and ecological stewardship, where Indigenous wisdom can continue to thrive alongside modern ecological efforts.
co weaving with Indigenous Soul
Daniel is a vital figure within the Kogi community, a people deeply rooted in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. As a Kogi, Daniel has spent many years with the mamos, the spiritual leaders of his community, learning and absorbing the ancient wisdom passed down through generations. Through his deep connection with the mamos, Daniel has become a living embodiment of this ancestral knowledge, integrating their teachings in a pure and cohesive way in the present time.
His understanding of the Kogi worldview, which sees the interconnectedness of all life—human, natural, and spiritual—guides his daily life and actions. Daniel’s role as a Kogi is not only that of a custodian of his people’s sacred knowledge, but also a bridge between the ancient teachings and the contemporary world. Together with Issah, who works closely with him, they seek to build a bridge between Kogi ancestral wisdom and the modern world, ensuring that the sacred knowledge and principles of balance, harmony, and respect for nature remain relevant today.
Issah and Daniel collaborate to share this wisdom and strengthen the connection between traditional cultures and the present time. They practice and live the Kogi principles together, demonstrating how their people’s wisdom can be applied in the context of the modern world.
By embodying this wisdom, Daniel helps ensure that the cultural and spiritual heritage of the Kogi people is preserved and respected. His teachings, deeply rooted in the earth and the cosmos, offer a path to living in harmony with the land. Together, Daniel and Issah represent the continuity of Kogi traditions, ensuring that their ancestral wisdom remains vital and connected to future generations, despite the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
