Kasike Kalaan, serving as the regional organizer of the Peace and Dignity Journey for Central America and the Caribbean region, played a crucial role during the meeting. The Council received support from the International Council of First Nations and Peace and Dignity Journeys.
The gathering brought together ancestral healers from across Abya Yala, fostering the exchange of knowledge, discussions on the state of ancestral medicine practices, joint ceremonies, and strategic planning for community well-being in Integrative, Intercultural, and Plurinational Health. Sacred ceremonies and invocations took place at sacred sites, including offerings to Sacred Mountain Xicuco, energetic cleansing in sacred waters, and healing practices.
The event also featured gatherings at Tula and a significant ceremony at the Temple of the Sun in Teotihuacan.
