Friday August 21, 2009. We visited this special land, approximately 1800 acres donated to this Guatemalan healer and tribe. It is located in Rogue valley, with its own water supply and lush rolling hills.

Eric leads gatherings pilgrimages ceremonies throughout the world to facilitate healing and spiritual growth.

Time did not permit us to participate in the beautiful peyote ceremony that was planned for us, but we did get an opportunity to receive a beautiful blessing on the higher land, a short drive up from the house.

I was touched by the hospitality of Eric and his family, who offered a generous banquet of food upon our arrival, and gave us a gift of a handmade bag with sage, copal, and Guatemalan coffee. In exchange I gave Eric a book written by another wise "elder" who I esteem highly: Bernando LaPallo, born 1901. It is a book about his life.

This would be a beautiful land to participate in a ceremony and reconnect with this special tribe. For more information please visit www.earthpeopleunited.com
