Don Alberto Taxo<\/strong> was a revered indigenous teacher and healer in Ecuador who devoted his life to the ancient Andean prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor flying together in the same sky. In service to this vision he came to the United States for over twenty years to teach his Condor wisdom to the land of the mind-oriented Eagle: how to connect on a deep feeling level with all of nature to experience nature as a nurturing mother. \u00a0more<\/strong> \u2026<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

We are very sad to have to let you know that don Alberto Taxo transitioned into another reality at the beginning of February this year, 2022. He asked me to write a book in English about his life and teachings that was published one week after his passing. It also includes reflections by his long-time students about how he changed their lives.<\/p>\n

When the winds blow very strongly against us, when difficulties are very strong against us, we can fly higher. That\u2019s what I learned from the condor. The condor waits until there\u2019s a strong wind against him, because he\u2019s the largest bird in the world, and when there\u2019s a strong wind against him, he throws himself in the void and flies higher.<\/em><\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don Alberto Taxo is a master Iachak* of the Atik (Kichwa) people from the Cotopaxi region of Ecuador. He was given the highest honor of Master Iachak by the Shamanic Council of South America. He generously shares ancient Andean wisdom and practices with people who seek happiness, balance and fulfillment. Through simple habits and practices in daily life, he teaches us to feel the sacredness of each moment and every place.<\/p>\n
