Bio-cultural Sustainability for the San Pedro Cactus
A video message to end the year
Hello, friends!
We have a video episode of AGUA·COYA for you today, recorded at the Spirit Plant Medicine Conference in Vancouver, BC in November. This presentation covers San Pedro’s sustainability situation in Peru and Huachuma Collective’s response to it, plus lots of photos from the field. We loved sharing this work with a live audience, and hope you enjoy the replay (and feel free to share it if you’d like)!
We’re signing off after a busy year, but let’s have a discussion around this one. If you take time to watch during the holidays, please post any questions or reflections here in the Substack comments, and we will sign back on in the first week of January to answer and keep the discussion evolving between all of us. The future of wild San Pedro and its living cultures is in the hands of every single person who knows, loves, and listens to the plants.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to each person who has donated, left a comment, shared the message, or sent good wishes in 2022. You all pump life into Huachuma Collective. Thank you for caring for the plants.
See you in 2023!
With love and good wishes for your coming new year,
Laurel & Josip
Wonderful, relaxed, informative, heart-ful presentation. Wow. Wishing you both a beautiful solstice and transition into a new season. Much love from the cold and dark and magical north ❄️🌲♥️✨
Thank you both for this relevant information for all of us who are discovering huachuma, and want to keep it's spirit and health alive. I look forward to hearing at some point about how harvesting looks when one is aiming for sustainability. Muchas gracias otra vez, K
