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.

Snowy Mate Spirits

The elements combined perfectly on a Snowy Sunny Midday Monday at the Brazilian Botschaft in Berlin.

Mate is a sacred union between water and earth (forest) energy, and when combined with the act of sitting around a fire in the fresh air, the ritual can be quite magical.

Powerful Prayers are sometimes acknowledged by the spirits.

Paganistic Practices have been virtually erased from modern society with centuries of colonialism and cathocism culminating in a capitalistic culture where we are as disconnected from our roots and plugged in to a digital global matrix.

Sometimes the simple act of sitting around in a circle and sharing a Mate can cut across cultural barriers

From Berlin to Brasil and Beyond, the Holy Shift Activists who gathered on the banks of the Spree with Meta waited to warmly welcome the visiting diplomats with mantras and mate. Due to a water leakage and power failure in the embassy, President Lula and his ministers were unable to attend the sacred ritual but this did not diminish from the celebrations!

Later that afternoon we were able to directly express our gratitude towards the Brasilian environmental minister Marina Silva who has been fighting for forests and indigenous rights for decades.

Germany has pledged over 100 million Euros in answer to Brasil’s request for international support for environmental protection.

Raise Your Hands to Hold up the Sky together!

A Comunidade Berlinense lhe deseja sucesso na busca de soluções sustentáveis para proteger as terras e águas sagradas do Brasil. Em nome da natureza e de seus filhos, vamos criar um futuro igualitário para todos na essa Planeta.

MediMation Invitation

Wer Montags Lachelt hat die Richtige Mate. Those who smile on Mondays have the right Mate. And hopefully by now most of you know that the chances of you finding our doors open on Monday are schlimm…..

BUT we do have an invitation for a MondayMittagMateMob to take in some fresh air and sunshine on the banks of the Spree and share a Mate and prayer for peace to protect the planet. 

Serving Mate in support of Sacred Activism on 4.12 in Märkischer Platz, Berlin.

We will bring some mates and thermoses to share and can fill your gourds up as well with fresh forest energy from the Mata Atlantica.

The festivities will take place from 11-15 hrs, but bearing in mind that it is freezing outside and that most of us are on lunch break, we are making a core calling at 12PM Noon.   

The Brazilian President Lula will be visiting Berlin and the mate will be served symbolically to show our support in the preservation of the forests, waters and people on the banks of the River Spree outside the Embassy.
