Detalhes

The Inka Knowledge Center project is a remarkable endeavour that embodies the wisdom of ancient Inka architecture while prioritizing sustainability and harmony with nature. This ancestral building is designed to honour the Natural Laws of Mother Earth, drawing
inspiration from the Inka's deep understanding of ecological balance and respect for the
environment. The construction utilizes locally sourced materials and traditional techniques, ensuring minimal environmental impact. The architecture incorporates features such as natural Ancient Techniques, solar alignment, and Organic Material, which reflect the Inka's sophisticated approach to sustainability. By integrating these elements, the Inka Knowledge Center not only serves as a hub for learning and cultural preservation but also stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of indigenous knowledge in addressing modern global challenges.

Inti Nan'i YachayWasi leads by the Inka value of Anyi, or Reciprocity. We share the teaching and practises that help us to connect, commune and work with PachaMama (Mother Earth) and Guardians of the Land; how to collaborate with others for a common cause in a good way; learn sustainable ways of building sacred spaces; and Inka insight into our existence on this planet.

We ask that our volunteers are physically fit, in good health, willing to learn and share with an open mind and heart.

Please keep in mind that this a pristine and rustic environment. We have No Electricity (apart from a solar light), No WIFI, No Plumbing (no showers) and there is No Cell Reception. Well, there is a high spot in the community that you can catch a signal if one is needed. We have a clean outhouse and we draw water from the glacial-fed rivers and streams which we boil.

Atividades & Turnos

The Knowledge Centre is a collective project and there is flexibility to work hours and free time.
Generally, we awake early to make our breakfast and start day in a ceremonial way. Our llamas and sheep are put out to pasture and then we may begin with a range of activities like harvesting and collecting the wild Ichu Grass for our thatched roofs, roofing, framing, stone collecting, labour with tapial (rammed earth) construction, making rope, working and visiting with community members.

We will also take the opportunity to take walks or hikes to explore the beautiful rivers, lakes, flora and fauna in the community.

Regras

Respectful to one another so that everyone's ideas and voices are shared and heard.

An open mind to share, whatever that may look like for you.

We kindly ask that all volunteers pack in and out their garbage as there is no garbage/recycling collection in the community.
