Living Resistance

The sky is falling and the destruction of forests and pollution of waters in these modern times is will make it impossible for the shamans to hold up and prevent it from crashing down to earth, according to Indigenous Yanomami Leader, Shaman and Activist Davi Kopenawa.

Berlin is blessed by the beings who travelled from far away over the past week to gather to protect our planet .

„You have dreamed, so I am here“ said Kopenawa as he shared the stage with climate activists at the Berlin Literature Festival last week promoting the release of the German translation of ‚The Falling Sky‘.

It is getting harder to ignore the cries of nature as the politicians continue to sell our lands to corporations that allow rivers to be poisoned and precious resources extracted from the earth.

Activists are often labelled Terrorists by the Establishment for their attempts to publicise alarming actions that are contributing towards a climatic catastrophe.

This past weekend we had the honour to drink a Mate with Mother Earth at the Extinction Rebellion Camp in Berlin and speak with students about sustainable business practices.

It is time to listen to the wisdom of our elders and realise that we all share this planet and should treat it and one another with love and respect. Progress is only possible if we incorporate the past.

Our Shop in Berlin will be closed from 16-21 Sept due to Amazon Week at the Brazilian Embassy.

Serving Mate is a form of Sacred Activism for us and we look forward to sharing those moments of meta with many mates. Wise Words from a Yanomami Shaman have been transcribed in the book The Falling Sky and we strongly urge those who feel the calling to find a version in their local language and read it to understand where we are at.
