Several months ago I started a journey with Kelsey Timmerman, author of the New York Times best seller called “Where Am I Wearing.” He is currently working on a book for Patagonia Books. You know the 'super cool' company that if you’re a backpacker, climber, mtbiker or outdoors enthusiast you probably have something from their brand? The book is on regenerative agriculture. In February we traveled to Colombia and Patagonia to meet some people who care greatly for their land and their environment. In the next few months we’re going to do our best to tell our story. The quote above is from our new friend Miguel. He is a member of an indigenous tribe called the Arhuaco. They reside in the northern region of Columbia called Nabusimake. They believe that their region is in the heart of the world and there are certain spots in this region where there are “good vibes” and a clear connection to Mother Earth. They are primarily coffee farmers but they are so much more. Their love and respect for the earth are quite compelling and inspiring. We sat with Miguel and several spiritual leaders from his tribe over the span of six days and talked at great length about their belief and way of life in respect to the earth. This is a picture I took of Miguel as he was explaining to us that this was a very sacred place on the river.
