[Sacred Succulents] Andean Travel

[Sacred Succulents]

Andean Ethnobiological Field Course 
April 22 - May 1, 2010 

Come join us! For 10 days from April 22 to May 1, 2010 a small 
group of us will walk the land and explore the plants, customs, and 
archaeology of the Andean realm of the Urubamba Valley in south 
central Peru, a region of rugged mountains, pastoral landscapes, 
and mysterious ruins. 

Immerse yourself in a vibrant ecological tapestry woven by the 
reciprocal relations of distinct flora and fauna, stunning 
geography, and traditional cultures whose roots reach far into the 
past drawing essential nutrients from their ancient traditions. 
Take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn the basics of 
the dynamic science of ethnobotany, conservation based plant and 
seed collecting, traditional agriculture, indigenous Andean 
spirituality and cross cultural shamanism. We are all students of 
the earth. Examine some of the most alluring archaeological sites 
in the world, and consider how the triumphs and faults of past 
cultures reflect our modern dilemma of how to live on this wondrous 
planet we all call home.
