I was saddened to learn of the passing of Kogi Governor José de los Santos Sauna Limaco, due to Covid-19, and Mama Pedro Juan, whom I fondly remember spending precious time with during my visit to the Indigenous Kogi Tribe in Colombia in 2014.
It was one of the most profound and spiritual experiences I’ve ever had, and I’m forever grateful for the lessons I learned, which I will carry with me forever …
Their souls will remain bright, as we reflect upon the wisdom and beauty of their memory.
