Other Connections with Indigenous Peoples Don Alejandro from Peru     In May 1997, Don Alejandro Jahuanchi, a 7th generation healer from the Peruvian Amazon rainforest, visited Oregon. He was accompanied by three other Peruvians who assisted him in communicating his message. We were blessed by their stay in Lacomb, as he shared his wisdom with the immediate Ancient Ways' community as well as with others who came from all over the Willamette Valley to learn from him. He shared his Healing and Philosophy from the Amazon with a desire to help civilized man reconnect with the essence of nature. The following October 1997, four members of the Ancient Ways community went to visit him at his home in the Amazonian jungle, where he was developing a cultural center called Wanamey. The following February 1998 he passed on. We will always be grateful for his time with us.     Anyone interested in further information about the Wanamey Center, check out web pages for Centro Cultural Wamaney and Ecoespiritualidad.     Translation information on the medicine and philosophy of indigenous people of the Amazon region in Peru is also available here. Feel free to contact Joel Jahuanchi, Don Alejandro's son at: centro@wanamey.zzn.com. The Kogi People from Colombia     Ancient Ways feels it is imperative to pass on the message from the Kogi people. We all need to hear them. They are speaking to us about our Mother, without which none of us can live.
