Monica Rivadeneira, directora de proyecto de granja, educadora y propetaria de Eagle Condor Farm.
Soy americana, de padres ecuatorianos. Mi papá fue Alauseño, mi madre es Lojana. Antes de estudiar Permacultura fui enfermera pediatra por 15 años, graduada en Western Connecticut State University en Connecticut, EEUU. Estudié Permacultura en Los Ángeles California EEUU en 2010, también en 2013 en el Instituto de Permacultura Australiana (PRI) con Geoff Lawton, y en 2016 con Robyn Francis en la Universidad Australiana de Permacultura . Vivo en Alausi Ecuador desde 2012 cuando comencé este proyecto de Eagle Condor Farm. Tengo una especialización en enfermería, sin embargo, estoy muy dedicada al estudio de Permacultura y del medio ambiente. Me encanta la riqueza natural de Ecuador, sus “cuatro mundos” mega diversos y siento que es muy importante luchar por su conservación. También tengo experiencia y trabajé en mi propio consultorio de salud alternativa en EEUU, graduada en Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy en Westport, Connecticut EEUU. Cree programas de massage infantil prematuro para hospitales en Connecticut, donde nací y crecí. Mi amor al ambiente fue creciendo desde niña cuando pasaba mis vacaciones escolares de verano explorando la naturaleza en la granja de mis abuelos en Catamayo, Ecuador. Desde ese tiempo de mi niñez quedo la semilla que nació después de estudiar permacultura, en querer educar las nuevas generaciones a cuidar la naturaleza. Se que es la clave para promover cambios sustentables en nuestra relación con nuestro planeta.

Shamanic studies - taita iachak
Don Alverto Taxo is a master Iachak of the Atis (Quechwa) people from the Cotopaxi region of Ecuador. He was given the highest honor of Master Iachak by the Shamanic Council of South America.

*An "Iachak" is someone who embodies and shares the wisdom of his tradition for the benefit of others, acting as spiritual guide, healer and leader of the community.
He generously shares ancient Andean wisdom and practices with people who seek happiness, balance and fulfillment. In his newly released book, Friendship with the Elements: Opening the Channels of Communication, Don Alverto invites us to connect with the elements of nature—Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and the 5th balancing element known as the Ushai. Through simple habits and practices in daily life, he teaches us to feel the sacredness of each moment and every place.
Don Alverto's way is powerful and gentle. He creates a space where each person can experience for themselves the truth and practical applications of the ancient Andean wisdom which he brings.
These teaching programs penetrate deeply, shattering cultural and genetic programming, enabling us to move with power and grace into the times to come. As Alverto's students, we take a quantum leap, fulfilling the prophecy that in these times the Eagle (mind) and the Condor (heart) will fly in the same sky.
Don Alverto has been sharing this wisdom for 17 years in the United States and Europe. He was given this responsibility in 1989 at a great gathering of Andean Elders.
Don Alverto has been a speaker at schools and universities, international conferences, political rallies, and native celebrations. He has spoken to audiences of 600 and more, as diverse as South American natives and North American medical professionals, on topics ranging from, "Preparing for Globalization" to "Ancient Andean Practices and their Application to Western Medicine."
During a strike that paralyzed Ecuador, he performed an integral role in negotiating a settlement that respected the basic rights of indigenous people. He is the co-author of three books, "An invitation from the Andes", "Friendship with the Elements: Opening the Channels of Communication" (LittleLight Press, 2005 Don Alverto's second book & in English), and "Reconnecting with our Indigenous Heart".
