Kualama Foundation

The Kualama Foundation is a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the ancestral wisdom, rich traditions, and vibrant cultural heritage of indigenous communities, particularly the tribes of the Sierra Nevada in Colombia, who are the guardians of the Spirit of the Heart of the Earth. The term Kualama, which means the filter between the spiritual and physical worlds, guides our mission to cultivate a deep relationship of reciprocity between humanity and the Earth. We honor the sacred principle that what we offer to the Earth, the Earth returns to us. Our mission transcends mere restoration; it is about igniting a collective consciousness that acknowledges the interconnectedness of all life. By having the Indigenous Tribes share their stories, practices, and insights derived from their wisdom, we aspire to spark a global movement towards cultivating a relationship with the Earth.
