Our work centres and collaborates with those who protect cultural and traditional ecological knowledge, and cultivates a global community working toward a thriving and balanced planet.

A Cultural Gathering [ Rooted In ]

A THREAD BETWEEN WORLDS

Vol I · 2026

From the Heart
of the World

A scene from a ÚNA gathering in the Sierra Nevada

It takes a circle to build something sacred. The Elder Sisters of the Wiwa, Arhuaco, and Kogi have tended the Heart of the World for centuries. The high mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the watersheds, the women's houses where knowledge moves between generations.

ÚNA does not host an experience. We help convene a meeting between worlds. Each gathering is immersive cultural immersion, deep kinship with land, and quiet transformation. What is given returns to the territory. Gardens, infrastructure, the slow architecture of Indigenous sovereignty.

The Cycle · Reciprocity

Give more
than we take

Every ÚNA gathering moves through a circle, from immersion, to kinship, to transformation, and back to the land as care.

01

Immersive
Experience

Five days on ancestral land in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, hosted and led by Indigenous women knowledge keepers.

02

Kinship with
People & Land

Through ceremony and deep listening, a circle of fifteen is woven with territory, ancestral wisdom, and each other. We become ÚNA.

03

Personal
Transformation

An encounter of worlds. To sit with discomfort, unlearn what dominant cultures taught, and know the living world differently.

04

Positive
Impact

The land is left in better condition than found. Women's houses, herbal gardens, communal infrastructure toward Indigenous sovereignty.

The Experience

Cultural
Immersion

ÚNA opens rare access to living cultures that have tended the 'Heart of the World' for centuries in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. Each gathering unfolds over five days on ancestral land, hosted and led by Indigenous women knowledge keepers who invite a select circle into their lands and sacred sites.

Beyond a curated experience, ÚNA creates an encounter of worlds, ways of knowing, being, and stewarding. A space for those willing to sit with the discomfort, to unlearn what dominant cultures have taught, to engage cosmologically with the natural world around in ways that may change everything.

The Experience

Small
Circle

A maximum of 15 selected participants are invited into each gathering. Through ceremony, land-based learning, and deep listening, ÚNA weaves participants with territory, ancestral wisdom, and each other. They arrive as guests, yet leave as kin. We become ÚNA.

The Experience

Roots
That Remain

Every gathering leaves something behind. A positive impact where land and place are left in a better condition than found. Women's houses, herbal and food gardens, communal infrastructure towards Indigenous sovereignty.
