The Vital Role of Elders in Preserving and Sharing Ancestral Wisdom

High in Peru’s Sacred Valley, Q’ero elders Don Sebastian and Don Andres carry forward the sacred lifeways of their Incan ancestors. Through the principle of Ayni—reciprocity—they remind us that community, ceremony, and reverence for nature are the roots of regeneration. In their words, we are reminded that the wisdom of our elders is not only history—it is a map home.
