Embassy of Ancestral Wisdom

JointheMovement

The Embassy of Ancestral Wisdom is built on people who choose to show up — as members, participants, or donors — supporting a network of land-based cultural hubs across Europe guided by Yawanawá wisdom keepers and other partner nations.

You can contribute by becoming a member, participating directly, or supporting as a donor — each path strengthens the same network.

Become a Member
Join the network directly, access the training pathway, and stay connected to the communities and hubs you support.
Support as a Donor
Financially back the first kickoff event at an embassy or its ongoing activities — being a first mover supporting an embassy's first event is one of the most direct ways to help.
Explore as an Investor
Engage with the potential activities and investment opportunities coming out of each embassy, structured like a portfolio across locations.

The Guardian Pathway

Membership can be more than support from a distance. Part of the path is a training pathway: initial training can begin at your local hub, and as you progress and show real commitment, you qualify for a higher level of access.

This pathway toward becoming a guardian can include the rare and meaningful benefit of access to come visit the tribes directly — something that goes beyond what can simply be bought, and is treated as a genuine part of the training path rather than a transaction.

Progress through the pathway by actively engaging with the hub's practices and community.
3
Qualify for guardian status
Once you've demonstrated commitment, you gain higher-level access, including the possibility of visiting partner tribal communities.

Yearly Cultural Hub Events

Each embassy opens with a kickoff event — and every year after, there's at least one more. These gatherings present the activities, community, and investment opportunities coming out of each hub, and offer the easiest first step to get involved.

The five founding hubs — in England, Austria, Norway, Portugal, and Germany — each launch their own opening event, branded as "The 5 Fires," with the intention that these become annual gatherings rather than one-off appearances.

Questions Before You Join

Who leads the knowledge shared here?
Indigenous wisdom keepers — the Yawanawá and other partner nations — lead the curriculum, governance, and land practice; they hold decision-making power over what is shared and how.
Do I need experience with plant medicine?
No. Hubs are built around culture, land, and pathway learning first; deeper ceremonial elements are approached gradually and are not a requirement to participate.
What does my support actually fund?
Donor contributions help finance setting up each location and its first kickoff event; over time, hubs are designed to generate their own revenue through memberships, programs, and land-based activities.
Is the land owned by the network?
Not always — some locations use a pledge model, where landholders commit their property so ancestral communities and members can access it, rather than land being purchased outright everywhere.

Support the Roots

Every embassy is rooted in real land, real communities, and a real commitment to non-extractive knowledge sharing. Whether you join as a member, support as a donor, or simply want to follow the work, your presence helps these hubs take root.
