The economy was designed to serve life. At some point, it forgot. This article traces how that happened - through colonial extraction, currency manipulation, and centuries of treating the Earth as an inexhaustible resource - and more importantly, what is already being built in its place. It is also worth naming what is being built against it. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), digital identity systems, and the broader technocratic agenda advancing through institutions like the World Economic Forum represent a competing vision of the future - one where economic participation is surveilled, programmable, and ultimately controlled by the few. That is not a regenerative economy. It is the extractive economy in a new interface. The regenerative economy moves in the opposite direction: toward decentralization, sovereignty, reciprocity, and life. From Time Banks in New York to community currencies in Ecuador to worker cooperatives in Spain, it is not a future vision. It is a present reality, waiting to be joined. And while blockchain and regenerative finance are real and important parts of this picture, the regenerative economy is bigger than any single technology. It is a whole-systems redesign - cultural, spiritual, and practical - of how human beings relate to value, to each other, and to all living beings on Earth.A System Feature | Designed to ExtractA president steps up to the podium in Manila, praising the economic progress their country has fulfilled after, what many of us call “ the plandemic”. Outside the auditorium, a young mother carries her child on her hip, knocking on car windows at a red light, eyes down, asking for alms. The applause inside the hall doesn't reach her. It never does.The president says the currency has strengthened. That prices are coming down. Meanwhile, across the city, a farmer named Rodrigo is standing in the field he has worked for thirty years, calculating whether this harvest will cover the loan he took out before the last typhoon swept his crop away. It didn't. This is not an exception to the economic system. It is a feature of it. A reflection of a culture that does not care about those actually in need.Many nations measure their health through GDP - Gross Domestic Product - which essentially dictates whether or not an economy is “progressing.” It runs under one quiet assumption: that the Earth will keep giving. Indefinitely. Without asking anything in return. That before the calculations around supply, demand, and the balance of everything else, all the raw materials are already ideally supplied.The Earth is answering. Typhoons that once came once a generation now arrive like clockwork. Harvests that fed communities for centuries are failing across the Andes, the Sahel, the Mekong delta. The seasons that indigenous peoples read as living calendars have become erratic, unreliable, grieving. None of this is random. It is a response - accurate and proportional - to an economy built on the assumption that extraction has no cost.If we were truly “abundant” financially, we would not have billions of people at risk of starvation, homelessness, and other manifestations of neglect and poverty. The economy was supposed to serve all life. It has forgotten this. And in forgetting it, it has begun to abandon human life itself.The Story We InheritedMoney was supposed to be a promissory note for the gold reserves one actually held. The paper was a symbol - pointing at something real, something held in a vault somewhere, something that could be touched.Then the notes began circulating. And the longer they circulated, the more people forgot what they were pointing to. Eventually, the circulation gave rise to the idea of turning the notes into currency itself. The symbol became the standard. It became backed not by gold, but by story - a story so strong, so repeated, so programmed into every transaction of daily life, that we began to mistake it for the truth.We placed a middleman between ourselves and our needs. And somewhere along the way, we forgot we had done it. Perhaps, by design. Here is what the story never tells you: the gold itself did not arrive innocently.In 1302, Pope Boniface VIII issued Unam Sanctam, declaring papal authority supreme over all earthly power - making the Earth itself, philosophically, ownable. A century and a half later, that claim became economic policy. Dum Diversas (1452) authorized the enslavement of non-Christians across the globe. Romanus Pontifex (1455) granted Portugal the right to colonize and extract across Africa and the New World. Inter Caetera (1493) extended the same to Spain and the Americas.These were the founding economic legislation of the extractive world we live in - all cloaked in religious language.What followed was centuries of forced extraction. Economists Flynn and Giráldez have documented that colonial American silver - mined through indigenous forced labor in Potosí and across Peru and Mexico - became the standard monetary foundation of early global trade. The gold in the vault was never simply there. It was coercively taken.And then, on August 15, 1971, even that material trace was erased. President Nixon closed the gold window, ending the Bretton Woods system and severing the dollar's convertibility to gold. According to the Federal Reserve's own record, the international community was not consulted. From that moment, currency was backed by nothing but the authority of the government printing it.Knowing that we wrote ourselves into this story, we are now remembering that we can write ourselves out of it. Not only by writing new stories, but by reconnecting with stories that existed long before our current economic situation - stories that are still alive, still practiced, still remembered by the communities that never abandoned them.What Has Always WorkedBefore the conquest of certain nations to centralize power into their hands, other societies practiced more communal and regenerative ways of exchanging value. To them, considering other people and the Earth itself was not an ethical add-on. It was integral to the flourishing of their economies.Pre-colonial PhilippinesLong before the Spaniards arrived, the Philippine archipelago was a major hub in the maritime Silk Road - one of Asia's most active trade networks. Communities exchanged with Chinese, Japanese, Arab, and Indian traders at coastal ports and river settlements.The archipelagic geography made it impossible to consolidate wealth in any single place. Different tribes like the Maranao exchanged surplus agricultural produce, textiles, metalware, and forest products through robust barter systems built on kinship ties and alliances among polities. Value moved between two people who chose to relate. No middleman. Mutual trust was the economic infrastructure.Andean PeoplesThe Quechua people organized their economy around a relational foundation that lives in the language itself. Ayni - sacred reciprocity. Minka - collective community work. Randi-Randi - generalized reciprocity, the understanding that what circulates returns. All three connect to the broader principle of Sumak Kawsay: good living in right relationship with community, land, and the living world.Sumak Kawsay does not separate prosperity from the wellbeing of ecosystems. It understands them as one thing. This recognition runs so deep that Ecuador enshrined it as the central guiding principle for its national development in its 2008 constitution - the living legal inheritance of an ancient economy that knew how to stay.Haudenosaunee in North AmericaIn their 1981 formal statement to the United Nations, the Haudenosaunee Council of Chiefs articulated what their communities had practiced for centuries: that the earth was created for all to use, forever - not for the present generation to exhaust. Under their law, land is held by the women of each clan, who farm and care for it for the benefit of future generations.The Haudenosaunee saw land as a responsibility to be stewarded in trust. Anthropologist Kurt Jordan from Cornell University documented their economic practices and described them as “a reasonably sustainable, localized economy” even under intense external pressure. They had embodied communal stewardship long before theories about such things were written down.Southern Africa“I am because we are.”This is Ubuntu - the philosophy at the core of both social and economic life across Southern Africa. Communities in South Africa and Mozambique relied on mutual aid networks, intergenerational knowledge systems, and participatory rituals as practical economic infrastructure. These systems enhanced community cohesion and collective resilience precisely in the moments when extractive economies failed them. They understood, bone-deep, that no human being thrives in isolation.Diversity of Regen Economic SystemsMany communities across continents are actively rebuilding economic systems beyond the extractive model. The following are not theoretical. They are actively running. Hence, the more diversity of economic systems each person and community practices, the more abundant, unbreakable and independent we are from degenerative systems from governments and corporations that want to control it all. The Commons FoundationOne body of research forms the intellectual foundation for nearly all of them: the life's work of Elinor Ostrom, the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Economics. Ostrom spent decades documenting over 800 cases of communities successfully governing shared resources - in Switzerland, Kenya, Guatemala, Nepal, and beyond - without either privatization or state control.Her conclusion was simple and radical: communities do not inevitably destroy what they share. Given the right institutional design, they protect it and pass this duty to the next generation. And her eight design principles for successful commons governance - the framework that emerged from all that fieldwork - describe, as she herself acknowledged, the same governance systems that indigenous communities had been practicing for centuries.Her work is not a new idea. It is a confirmation of ancient ones.Regenerative Economics | Beyond ReFi - The Whole-Systems VisionWhen most people first encounter the term “regenerative economy,” they arrive through crypto. Through ReFi - regenerative finance - and the promise of blockchain as a tool for funding ecological restoration, decentralizing power, and making impact transparent. These are real contributions. They matter.But John Fullerton, founder of the Capital Institute and one of the most rigorous thinkers in this field, spent two decades on Wall Street before arriving at a different and more fundamental question: what if the entire framework of modern finance is running in conflict with how life actually works?Fullerton's work focuses on building an economic framework that supports the long-term health of people, communities, and the planet - not by tweaking the existing system, but by replacing its underlying logic. His core argument is that we are running our society in conflict with the patterns and principles that explain how life works.His answer is what he calls regenerative economics: eight principles drawn from living systems science that describe how healthy economies - like healthy ecosystems - actually function. Diversity. Balance. Circular flow. Robust circulation. Surplus financial capital, in his framework, needs to be recycled and regenerated into other forms of capital - natural, social, and cultural. Not hoarded nor extracted. Composted back into the living system that produced it.ReFi, in Fullerton's framing, is one tool within this larger architecture. Blockchain can decentralize power. Tokenized nature credits can make ecological value legible to markets. Community currencies can circulate value locally. But the technology is only as regenerative as the values underneath it. A crypto project built on extraction logic is still extraction, regardless of the chain it runs on.Regenerative economy is not a financial product. It is a civilizational shift - in how we measure wealth, in what we decide to protect, in whose voices count when decisions are made. ReFi is welcome in that shift. It is one current in a much larger river.Time BanksIn Jackson Heights, Queens, a retired nurse named Gloria hasn't touched the formal economy in months for the things that matter most to her. She spends three hours teaching English to a recent immigrant. Those hours become credits. She spends them on home repairs from a neighbor who knows carpentry. He spends his credits on childcare. The loop keeps moving.This is a Time Bank - a community exchange system built on one radical premise: everyone's time is worth the same. One hour of legal advice equals one hour of gardening equals one hour of emotional support. The hierarchy of market wages disappears. What remains is a web of people who need each other.Edgar Cahn, who developed Time Banking in the 1980s after surviving a near-fatal heart attack, called it “co-production” - the idea that the economy needs what the market can never price: care, community, civic participation, the work of raising children and holding elders. Time Banks make that invisible labor visible, and circulate it back into the community that produced it.Today there are over 500 Time Banks operating in more than 30 countries. Some have formalized into neighborhood institutions. Others run through apps. All of them rest on the same foundation the Quechua called Ayni - sacred reciprocity - translated into the language of modern urban life.Mondragon CorporationThe Mondragon Corporation in Spain's Basque region remains the most studied proof that democratic ownership functions at scale. Founded by six worker-owners in 1956, it now comprises 96 cooperatives employing over 70,000 people, with annual revenues exceeding €11 billion. Workers own the company collectively, vote on strategy at general assemblies, and operate under a constitutionally capped pay ratio of 6-to-1 between the highest and lowest earners.Traditional Dream FactoryIn a 25-hectare village in Alentejo, Portugal, Traditional Dream Factory is a living prototype of the self-sustaining regenerative community - blending collective ownership, ecological restoration, intentional community, and decentralized economy in one working place. They have raised over €1.25 million in total capital across 280+ token holders. Their 2026 build phase is completing co-living rooms, artist studios, a farm-to-table restaurant, a mushroom farm, and a biopool wellness space.AtreyuInvestment, as most of us have encountered it, prioritizes short-term financial returns above all else. Atreyu challenges this at the root by approaching investment through living systems principles and deep relational due diligence. They support their investees to ensure that both the enterprises and the ecosystems they steward realize their potential - together. They focus on early-stage businesses and actively encourage steward-ownership models that enshrine self-governance and purpose orientation.Muyu CoinOne of the first social coins in South America, Based in Ecuador - Muyu serves as an alternative exchange system rooted in community trust and an understanding of sacred economy. It protects the sovereignty of communities in their production, distribution, exchange, consumption, and post-consumption - keeping the loop of value inside the community rather than extracting it outward. It uses Cyclos, an enchrypted platform, a base.It first did an attempt to start in 2015, but not many people showed interest. It then came back very strong in 2020, due to the “plandemic”. People felt the need to have alternative ways to transact that was not controlled by limiting governments. Giving communities complete independence. Currently with over 150+ members who are exchanging goods and services in different nodes throughout the country. From food produce, clothing and art -to- car mechanic, dentists and school teachers serving to the community.Grassroots EconomicsFounded in Kenya, Grassroots Economics supports communities in building their own self-sustaining economies - even when national currency is scarce - through a model called Commitment Pooling.Consider Wanjiru, a vegetable seller in Mombasa's Bangla Pesa network. During a slow week when Kenyan shillings are tight, she issues a Community Asset Voucher - a commitment to provide vegetables - and deposits it into a communal pool. Her neighbor, a carpenter named Kamau, redeems it. He offers his own labor in return. The loop closes. Food reaches a family that needed it. A roof gets repaired. No national currency changes hands.This is not a workaround. It is a return to how value was always supposed to move.Since Grassroots Economics was established in 2010, they have supported 26,600 people across 290+ communities, issuing over 2,140 vouchers. Their protocol is inspired by indigenous Rotational Labor Associations similar to Kenya's mwethya and harambee traditions. It is open-source and blockchain-agnostic - meaning any community, anywhere, can deploy it.The Choice in Front of UsThese regenerative endeavors share one answer to the core assumption of the extractive economy: the economy does not need to extract in order to function. Value can circulate and regenerate rather than accumulate. Ecological health, community resilience, and the wellbeing of the next generations are not costs to minimize - they are the actual metrics that demonstrate economic success.The question is no longer whether it is possible. It is happening. The question is whether enough of us choose to participate in building it, and whether we remember our roles as stewards of the Earth that has always sustained us.We get to choose the future we want for ourselves, our children, and the seven generations that come after.Your Role in the Regenerative EconomyReading this is already a kind of remembering. The question that follows is simple: where do you begin?The regenerative economy is not waiting to be invented. It is waiting to be joined. Every one of the models described here started with a small group of people who decided to practice a different relationship with value - before it was proven, before it was popular, before it was funded.Here are real entry points, available now:Start with your immediate circle. Identify three skills or resources you have in excess - time, knowledge, food from a garden, tools sitting unused. Offer them. Ask for what you need in return. This is Ayni. It requires no platform, no signup, no permission.Relocalize your spending. Every dollar (fiat currency) that circulates inside a local economy multiplies its impact without leaving the community. Farmers markets, community-supported agriculture, local cooperatives, regenerative small businesses - these are not lifestyle choices. They are votes for a different system, cast weekly.Find or start a Time Bank in your area. hOurworld.org and TimeBanks.org maintain active directories. If nothing exists near you, starting one requires little more than a spreadsheet and a Telegram/Whatsapp group.Join a community working on this. It can be our Regenerative Leadership Community from www.regenerativeculture.life is one place. There are others - transition towns, ecovillages, commons networks - in most regions of the world. Find your people. The regenerative economy is, at its root, a relationship economy. It does not work alone.Learn the language. Permaculture design, commons governance, cooperative economics, sacred reciprocity - these are not abstract concepts. They are practical skills with deep traditions behind them. The more fluent you become, the more useful you are to the communities building this.The scale of what needs to change can feel paralyzing. It is not meant to. The models described in this article did not begin at scale. Mondragon began with six people. Grassroots Economics began in one neighborhood in Mombasa. The Quechua did not design Ayni for a movement - they designed it for a harvest.Start where you are. With what you have. With whoever is near you. That has always been enough to begin. It's not easy, but it is possible.Written by Gertie Farenas and Yoshi Pantera - 90% by us humans and 10% AI assisted.This Audio is recorded by a true voice - Yoshi PanteraThis article is part of the Regenerative Culture Chronicle - a publication exploring the ideas, practices, and communities building a world that benefits all life.Learn more at RegenerativeCulture.LifeThanks for reading Regenerative Culture Chronicle!

Albina du Boisrouvray est philanthrope, productrice de cinéma et autrice de Naviguer l'existence. Venue d'une bonne famille, elle a donné la quasi-totalité de sa fortune à sa fondation FXB pour sortir 100 000 personnes de l'extrême pauvreté.Je connais peu de trajectoires aussi denses que celle d'Albina. Militante écologiste dans les années 70 quand personne n'écoutait, productrice de cinéma dans un milieu misogyne, candidate aux législatives en 78, et puis surtout : mère d'un fils de 24 ans mort dans un accident d'hélicoptère, celui dans lequel se trouvait aussi Daniel Balavoine. Ce que j'aime chez Albina, c'est qu'elle n'est pas dans la posture. Elle dit qu'elle ne sait pas toujours comment elle a tenu. Elle dit qu'elle a parfois tort. Elle dit que son manque d'études l'a probablement rendue plus libre que si elle avait fait l'ENA.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de deuil, de sens, de résilience et de cette méthode qu'elle a inventée contre l'avis de tout le monde, "la graduation approach", qui transgresse la doxa du micro-crédit. J'ai questionné Albina sur les bouées qu'elles considèrent comme la colonne vertébrale de toute son existence : ne jamais se pourrir le présent pour un futur qu'on ne peut pas imaginer.Citations marquantes"La mort aura toujours le dernier mot. Mais qu'elle n'ait pas le dernier mot plus vite qu'elle devrait l'avoir.""La résilience, c'est apprendre à vivre avec. Pas s'en débarrasser. Vivre avec.""Quand j'ai vu que les gens à qui on apportait tout ça, leurs yeux s'illuminaient — ça réallumait ma propre capacité à ressentir du bonheur.""Quand on est convaincu d'avoir raison, il faut aussi questionner ça. Il faut tout questionner.""Ne jamais se pourrir le présent pour un avenir qu'on ne peut absolument pas imaginer, parce qu'il ne se passe jamais comme on l'a imaginé."Idées centrales 1. La résilience n'efface pas la douleur — elle l'intègre Titre : "Apprendre à vivre avec, pas à guérir" Albina ne dit pas qu'elle a "surmonté" la mort de son fils. Elle dit qu'elle a appris à vivre avec l'amputation. Ce décalage — entre guérir et intégrer — change tout dans la manière dont on traverse les épreuves. Cyrulnik lui a donné les mots. La vie lui a donné la méthode. Pourquoi c'est important : On vend trop souvent la résilience comme une victoire sur la douleur. Albina dit l'inverse : c'est une coexistence. Timestamp : ~07:00–10:052. Donner aux autres peut rallumer ce qu'on croyait éteint en soi Titre : "Le bonheur des autres comme carburant personnel" Ce n'est pas de la générosité romantique. C'est une mécanique très précise : quand tu vois les yeux de quelqu'un s'illuminer parce que tu lui as apporté quelque chose, ça rouvre ta propre capacité à ressentir. Albina l'a découvert au Liban en 1987, un an après la mort de François. Pourquoi c'est important : Ça retourne la question du sens — on ne trouve pas le sens en cherchant, on le trouve en faisant. Timestamp : ~20:44–21:463. La transgression comme méthode : donner plutôt que prêter Titre : "La graduation approach contre la doxa du micro-crédit" La grande transgression d'Albina : donner des entreprises aux familles au lieu de leur prêter de l'argent, et accompagner ça avec l'accès simultané à tous les droits de base. Les Nations Unies disaient que ça ne se faisait pas. Elle l'a fait quand même. Résultat : 86% de réussite, 100 000 personnes sorties de l'extrême pauvreté. Pourquoi c'est important : Quand le consensus est fort, c'est souvent le moment de questionner, pas d'obéir. Timestamp : ~13:20–18:044. Penser par soi-même contre les doxas de son époque Titre : "Quitter une réunion d'extrême gauche en 1970 parce qu'on y préparait des attentats" Elle a été militante gauchiste jusqu'au jour où elle a compris que ça menait au terrorisme. Elle a refusé le micro-crédit quand tout le monde le défendait. Elle a soutenu le maintien du nucléaire quand sa famille politique voulait le démanteler. Sa boussole : ses propres valeurs, pas les étiquettes. Pourquoi c'est important : La liberté de pensée n'est pas un droit qu'on reçoit — c'est une discipline qu'on exerce contre soi-même d'abord. Timestamp : ~45:24–48:325. Le capitalisme n'est pas le problème. Le capitalisme débridé, si. Titre : "L'offre et la demande ça fonctionne — le problème c'est quand ça sert les actionnaires plutôt que les humains" Elle fait une distinction que peu de militant.e.s de sa génération acceptent : la nature humaine n'est pas totalement oblative, il faut un intérêt pour que ça marche. Ce qui ne fonctionne pas, c'est l'article de Friedman de 1970 qui a scellé l'idée que le seul but d'une entreprise est de redistribuer des dividendes. Pourquoi c'est important : On ne changera pas le système en le refusant en bloc. On le change en redéfinissant ce qu'il sert. Timestamp : ~36:28–39:16Questions posées dans l'interviewTu dis que l'avenir a perdu ses promesses — mais pour ta génération, les 30 glorieuses, c'était le contraire. Qu'est-ce qui a changé, selon toi?Comment on traverse la mort d'un enfant sans se laisser détruire?Est-ce que c'est la douleur qui t'a poussée vers l'humanitaire, ou tu l'aurais fait de toute façon?La graduation approach était une transgression totale à l'époque. Comment tu as eu le courage de contredire le consensus des Nations Unies?Comment on fait pour ne pas laisser sa famille imposer notre destin — surtout quand on l'aime?Tu parles de "ne pas accepter les doxas de son époque" — mais comment tu sais que tu n'es pas juste en train de remplacer une doxa par une autre?La place des femmes — tu dis que rien n'est acquis. Qu'est-ce que tu dirais à une femme jeune aujourd'hui face au retour des religions et du patriarcat?Comment tu pratiques l'instant présent concrètement? C'est une philosophie ou une discipline quotidienne?Avec le recul de tes 80 ans, qu'est-ce que tu changerais dans ta manière de vivre?A quoi tu veux claquer la porte — et où est-ce que tu veux ouvrir?Références citées dans l'épisodeLivresNaviguer l'existence — Albina du Boisrouvray (fil rouge de tout l'épisode) ~00:29Indignez-vous! — Stéphane Hessel (résonance sur la capacité d'indignation d'Albina) ~25:04Livre de Boris Cyrulnik sur la résilience (titre non précisé, mais "ça a totalement résonné") ~07:38Articles / textesArticle de Thomas Friedman (journaliste) sur "l'ère du polysène" — le monde comme système complexe et non binaire ~34:03Article de Milton Friedman (économiste, NYT, 1970) — le seul but d'une entreprise est de redistribuer des dividendes aux actionnaires ~35:44Documentaire Arte sur la violence de l'extrême droite en France et en Allemagne ~54:21PersonnesDaniel Balavoine — mort dans l'accident d'hélicoptère du Paris-Dakar 1986 ~01:03François, son fils — pilote de l'hélicoptère, 24 ans ~06:55Bernard Kouchner — mission au Liban en 1987 ~20:44Professeur Jonathan Mann (Harvard/OMS) — paradigme santé publique, alerte sur les orphelins du SIDA ~11:37Mohamed Yunus — micro-crédit (admiré, mais insuffisant pour l'extrême pauvreté) ~14:15Brice Lalonde, René Dumont — militants écologistes des années 70 ~05:04André Gorz — cité rapidement comme proche des mouvements écolos ~05:03André Delvaux — réalisateur belge représenté par Albina à Cannes ~48:59Kim Chapiron — réalisateur français, propos sur la représentation des musulmans au cinéma post-2001 ~53:32Anne Chirac — avait posé des pots de fleurs sur les Champs-Élysées en réponse aux plaidoyers écologistes ~04:04OrganisationsFXB (Fondation François-Xavier Bagnoud) — fondée par Albina ~12:24Médecins sans Frontières / Médecins du Monde — Albina a été bénévole ~22:59Banque mondiale, BRAC, Ford Foundation — ont repris la graduation approach à grande échelle ~18:31ConceptsRésilience (Cyrulnik) ~07:38Graduation approach (méthode FXB) ~15:48Polysène — ère où tout est imbriqué, plus rien n'est binaire ~34:03Famille étendue africaine ~13:32Bouddhisme : "ici et maintenant" ~59:50Talmud / pil-poul : questionnement constant ~47:07Timestamps clés (optimisés YouTube)00:00 — Introduction VLAN Greg ouvre sur la question centrale du podcast : "Et si on pouvait à nouveau se réjouir du futur?"

Les bouées, elles te sauvent dans une tempête." Une distinction qui dit tout sur l'état dans lequel elle perçoit le monde aujourd'hui.02:05 — L'avenir a perdu ses promesses Retour sur les 40 glorieuses, l'espoir de l'après-guerre, et le moment où tout a basculé.

Comment on tient. Ce que la résilience veut vraiment dire. Cyrulnik lui a donné les mots, la vie lui a donné la méthode.10:50 — Comment la douleur l'a conduite à l'humanitaire Un an après la mort de François, elle part avec Kouchner au Liban porter des médicaments des deux côtés de la ligne de front. Elle retrouve là, pour la première fois, sa capacité à ressentir du bonheur.13:20 — La transgression de la graduation approach En Afrique, elle comprend que son modèle occidental ne fonctionne pas. Elle invente une méthode qui transgresse la doxa du micro-crédit et choque les Nations Unies. Elle a raison.18:04 — 100 000 personnes sorties de l'extrême pauvreté 86% de réussite.

Et elle continue avec des donations.24:05 — Bouée #2 : la famille et la liberté Son enfance entre Amérique du Sud et Afrique du Nord. Sa mère Quechua, son père résistant gaulliste. Comment l'absence de famille l'a paradoxalement rendue libre. Et comment elle a fait la paix avec sa mère après sa mort.33:41 — Bouée #3 : défendre la justice Néolibéralisme, Friedman, l'article qui a tout scellé en 1970. Sa distinction entre capitalisme utile et capitalisme destructeur. Et l'ère du polysène : on ne vit plus dans un monde binaire.42:09 — Bouée #5 : la place des femmes Rien n'est acquis — les États-Unis, l'Afghanistan, l'Iran. Son expérience au Festival de Cannes où deux hommes parlent d'elle comme d'un objet en direct. Et comment elle a géré un ministre qui avait fermé la porte à clé.45:24 — Bouée #9 : ne pas accepter les doxas de son époque La réunion en 1970 où elle quitte les mouvements gauchistes. Le Talmud comme modèle de questionnement permanent. Et pourquoi être convaincu d'avoir raison, c'est souvent le premier signe qu'on a un peu tort.52:56 — Bouée #8 : s'autoriser à penser par soi-même Les imaginaires des films américains post-2001, l'islamophobie ordinaire, les extrêmes qui identifient de vrais problèmes mais proposent de mauvaises solutions.58:36 — Bouée #10 : ne jamais se pourrir le présent La bouée centrale. Comment elle pratique l'instant présent concrètement — son chat le matin, la gentillesse des jeunes dans la rue. Les petits cadeaux de la vie qu'on rate quand on est dans la projection.01:00:57 — Ce qu'elle dirait aux jeunes en pleine course à la réussite 80 ans résumés en quelques phrases : ne pas mettre la réussite économique comme seule priorité. Rester ouvert aux autres. Saisir les moments de bonheur.01:06:49 — VLAN : claquer la porte sur la haine Elle veut claquer la porte sur toutes les formes de haine — islamophobie, antisémitisme, haine du voisin.

We didn't go looking for magic on this day. It came looking for us.Part 3 of our Peru recap covers the day everything stopped being coincidence. A shaman we didn't plan to meet gave us a private worldview lesson in his shop. The tarot cards on the train predicted the exact day before it happened — mountain, woman walking, flowers in a bunch. And then a full ceremonial procession appeared on the trail behind us, with a shaman, musicians, animal masks, and chairs — heading to the same waterfall we were. Our guide Tina, who is Quechua and has guided these trails her whole life, had never seen this ceremony happen. Ever.And then they pulled us into it.We also cover the Pisac village and ruins, lunch with the Amaru people high in the Andes, the most magical train ride of our lives through the Sacred Valley, and arriving at Aguas Calientes before heading up to Machu Picchu — which gets its own episode because it deserves it.If you've been following this series you know Peru kept proving itself. This is the episode where it stopped being subtle about it. Want to experience this kind of magic yourself? We have trips open now — Germany this fall and Costa Rica next spring. Links in bio.

Frog venom burns your skin, makes you purge, and might be the most powerful healing tool you have never tried. In this episode, Host Dave Asprey sits down with Kambo researcher and practitioner Caitlin Thompson to break down how intentional suffering through this ancient Amazonian medicine is producing dramatic results for people with autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, Lyme disease, addiction, and metabolic dysfunction. From the peptide science behind the purge to the biohacking case for voluntary pain, this conversation will change how you think about healing, resilience, and human performance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Caitlin Thompson is an internationally recognized Kambo practitioner and educator who has guided over 2,700 clients through this medicine, with a focus on Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illness. Her path into this work was shaped by her own recovery from Lyme disease and Lupus. Trained in neurobiology and rooted in psychedelic science, immune health, and the human microbiome, Caitlin is currently pioneering some of the first prospective human studies on Kambo. She collaborates directly with indigenous Amazonian communities including the Matsés, Shuar, Quechua, and Matis, and has appeared on over 100 podcasts and conferences as a leading voice at the intersection of traditional medicine and modern science. Dave and Caitlin break down the full Kambo experience, from the transdermal burns and peptide families flooding your lymphatic system, to the purge, the frog face, and the window of clarity that follows. They explore why the suffering is not a side effect but the actual mechanism, how ordeal medicine builds the same neuroplasticity and dopamine receptor sensitivity that meditation, breathwork, and ice baths produce, and why this ancient practice is becoming one of the most talked about tools in functional medicine and longevity circles. They also dig into the sustainability crisis threatening frog populations in the Amazon, the almost nonexistent research landscape for Kambo, why journals refuse to publish positive findings, and how AI may unlock the ability to synthesize Kambo peptides and remove the dependency on frogs entirely. You'll Learn: Why intentional suffering through Kambo may be one of the most effective biohacking tools for immune reset and brain optimization How Kambo peptides interact with your mitochondria, vagal nerve, and immune system to drive deep healing Why the purge is not a side effect but a keystone mechanism of the medicine How ordeal medicine builds dopamine receptor sensitivity and neuroplasticity similar to fasting, cold exposure, and breathwork What the actual risks of Kambo are and how hyponatremia kills people who do it wrong Why Caitlin recovered from Lupus and Lyme disease using Kambo and what that means for autoimmune conditions How Kambo compares to ketamine, ayahuasca, and other altered states for trauma and performance Why journals refuse to publish Kambo research and what that reveals about the drug development pipeline How AI and synthetic biology may soon make frog harvesting unnecessary What the worst Kambo practitioners do wrong and how to find someone you can actually trust Thank you to our sponsors! -iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE-The One Device | Use code DAVE for $10 off at theonedevice.com/dave-MASA Chips | Go to https://www.masachips.com/DAVEASPREY and use code DAVEASPREY for 25% off your first order.

Bine Vogel und ihr Team kämpfen in den Anden für behinderte Kinder und misshandelte Frauen. (Autor: Hanna Willhelm)

April has felt… cursed. And honestly, we can't ignore it anymore. From everything going wrong to what happened on the plane (yes… including a broken bra strap at the worst possible moment), we started wondering if this month is just chaotic—or if something bigger is going on. In this episode, we talk through the strange run of events this April, the upcoming Saturn–Mars conjunction, and whether astrology might actually explain the patterns we're seeing. We also share a few other moments that made us question what's happening… before diving into our Peru trip and how the experience felt in Cusco and Machu Picchu.Join our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, each Friday at 1pmEST/10am PST on YouTube and Instagram Live!Follow The Alchemist's Inkwell on:● YouTube● Instagram● TiktokFollow Emily: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/likerofwords⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/likerofwords⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LikerOfWordsBluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords.bsky.social⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/⁠⁠Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/kristalynsofia⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristalynsofia/⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KristaLynSofia ⁠Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsofia.bsky.social ⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.kristalynsofia.com/⁠⁠Keywords: Peru, Machu Picchu, ancient temples, spiritual practices, Inca, Quechua, sacred sites, ayahuasca, sacred energy, travel magic

In the high Andean grasslands 4,500 meters above sea level, Quechua alpaca herders live on the edges of glaciers that have retreated more rapidly in the past fifty years than at any point in the previous six millennia. Women are the primary herders, and their specialized knowledge and skill is vital to the ability of high-elevation communities to survive in changing climatic conditions. In the past decade, however, these herders and their animals have traversed a rapidly shifting terrain. Drawing on the Quechua concept of k'ita, or restlessness, Restless Ecologies: Climate Change and Socioecological Futures in the Peruvian Highlands (University of Arizona Press, 2025) explores how herders in the community of Chillca in the Cordillera Vilcanota mountain range of the southeastern Peruvian Andes sense and make sense of changing conditions. Capricious mountains, distracted alpacas, and wayward children deviate from their expected spatial and temporal trajectories. When practices of sociality start to fall apart--when animals no longer listen to herders' whistles, children no longer visit their parents, and humans no longer communicate with mountains--these failures signal a broader ecological instability that threatens the viability of the herder's world. For more than two years, the author herded alongside the women of the Cordillera Vilcanota, observing them and talking with them about their interactions with their animals, landscapes, and neighbors. Emphasizing the importance of Indigenous knowledge and traditional ecological practices, Caine argues that Quechua understandings of restlessness align with and challenge broader theoretical understandings of what it is to be vulnerable in a time of planetary crisis.

Ospite del 193° episodio di Illuminismo Psichedelico – andato in scena dal vivo il 23 gennaio 2026 al Deposito Pontecorvo di San Giuliano Terme (Pisa) – è il chimico Matteo Politi, responsabile dell'area di ricerca e sviluppo del Centro Takiwasi, in Perù. Questa volta, con Matteo, abbiamo parlato di canti medicina, termine ombrello che racchiude tanti tipi di musica e di interpretazioni, mettendo insieme esempi che possono venire da molto lontano, sia nel tempo che nello spazio. In particolare, data l'esperienza sul campo di Politi, abbiamo iniziato ad affrontare il vasto ventaglio di canti medicina e di ikaros tipici dell'area amazzonica. L'etimologia di ikaros è dibattuta ma se letta in Quechua, un po' il latino dei linguaggi del nord dell'Amazzonia, significa "il canto che cura attraverso il soffio del tabacco". Significativo in questo senso è anche il nome stesso di Takiwasi, che vuol dire "la casa che canta" o "la casa del canto". Takiwasi è una comunità terapeutica per il recupero dei tossico-dipendenti che ha integrato pratiche della medicina tradizionale amazzonica con tecniche occidentali come la psicoterapia. Nella puntata abbiamo provato a tracciare alcune differenze tra gli ikaro propriamente detti, più simili a nenie, ricchi di vocalizzi, con tratti che ricordano i mantra e accompagnati da suoni tipici della foresta, come sonagli o foglie che vibrano, e i canti medicina, afferenti alla più comune forma canzone cui siamo abituati e usati per accompagnare e "tenere il campo" durante alcune cerimonie. La puntata si apre e si chiude con l'ascolto di quattro brani. All'inizio sentiamo un canto medicina intitolato "Foy a Jurema", interpretato da Paola. Poi c'è un ikaro composto a Takiwasi, "Ikaro canto a Pintuyacu", scritto e interpretato da Edgardo Taunama. Alla fine della puntata c'è invece un secondo canto medicina, "Jurema Oh Jurema" di Josii Jakecan e interpetato ancora una volta da Paola, mentre in chiusura c'è un ultimo ikaro, "Patuy Patuy" scritto e interpretato da Jacques Mabit, il fondatore di Takiwasi.[In ormai dieci anni di storia, il Deposito Pontecorvo, un noto club della provincia pisana, non aveva mai aperto una serata con un talk, siamo onorati di essere stati invitati per questa prima volta, un ringraziamento particolare va a tutte le numerosissime persone presenti, malgrado un vero e proprio diluvio universale, e infine un grazie speciale anche a Bernardo Bursill Hall, per essere riuscito a fornirci una buona traccia audio nonostante qualche problema tecnico].

Ancient tribes stayed incredibly strong and almost never got sick by following timeless habits that most modern people have completely forgotten.I sat down with Hilda Labrada (aka Holistic Hilda), host of the Wise Traditions podcast (16M+ downloads), to talk about the real practices she discovered while living with Maasai warriors, Mongolian herders, Aboriginal elders, Quechua communities, and more.We cover the six free ancestral secrets she teaches for massive energy, resilience, and healthspan; things science is finally catching up to.Hilda shares raw stories from 100-year-old elders who said “we never got sick,” what really happened when entire tribes started eating modern processed foods, and why sunlight, cold exposure, real food, and deep human connection might matter more than the newest supplement stack."Modern science is catching up to ancestral wisdom." – Hilda LabradaReclaim your BIRTHRIGHT To Optimal Health, Fertility, and Wholeness!Head over to https://www.birthright.co/ and use HILDA15 for 15% off your purchaseSupport the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping – just leave us a review on iTunes and let us know!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 Mentioned in the Episode:- Wise Traditions Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wise-traditions/id1072618042  - Mother Code Course: https://www.holistichilda.com/course About Hilda LabradaHilda Labrada is an integrative nutrition certified health coach, world traveler, and host of the Wise Traditions podcast supported by the Weston A.

In this episode Mitch Bach sits down with Marinel de Jesus, a former human rights lawyer turned tour operator.She is filled with questions about the adventure tour industry:Why do porters on the famous, touristy Inca Trail in Peru carry crushing loads for little pay and even less dignity? Why is it so difficult to find women adventure guides in so many parts of the world? What do indigenous communities actually want from tourism—and why doesn't anyone bother to ask them?These are just some of the uncomfortable questions and themes she's carried with her as she's lived and trekked around the world. Originally from the Philippines, she became a human rights lawyer in Washington D.C., spending 15 years prosecuting child protection and mental health cases. Then her mother passed away—and she never went back to the office. But Marinel didn't just start a tour company. She moved into indigenous communities. She lived with Quechua porters in Peru and learned the dark truths behind the picture-perfect Inca Trail. She spent nearly 300 days in Mongolia during Covid, co-creating a nomad camp that started with tea and a blank piece of paper—not a business plan. She walked 100 days across Nepal with Mingmar, a female guide she searched for over a year and a half to find, proving that women belong on the Great Himalaya Trail.This discussion challenges everything we assume about adventure tourism—the colonial narratives baked into our itineraries, the voices we never hear, the scripts we impose on communities who know how to welcome guests far better than we do. She makes the case for showing up with no agenda, listening before designing, and building something that matters more than scale.Marinel's organizations:Equity Global Treks (Brown Gal Trekker)The Porter Voice CollectiveHer vision for Himalayan Women Trail LeadersHer film KM82 on the Quechuan Porters of PeruThe Khusvegi English & Nomadic Culture Camp she helped start in MongoliaMore show notes and resources on tourpreneur.com

¡Allinllachu! This episode features a Quechua-language conversation with Cristopher Vargas, a Cusco-based Quechua translator and storyteller who dubs well-known anime and films into Quechua on TikTok and YouTube. He was one of the young fellows of the 2025 National Geographic Photo Camp in Washington, D.C., and later joined Professor Odi Gonzales's Quechua classes at NYU's Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS). His work is part of a growing movement of Quechua language revitalization and cultural reclamation among younger generations in the Andes and across the diaspora. More and more, youth are using social media and digital platforms to promote and circulate Quechua and other forms of Andean knowledge. Film dubbing has become a powerful strategy within this movement, raising key questions about copyright, translation ethics, language preservation, and cultural identity. It also underscores the urgent need for Indigenous communities--especially children and youth--to access media in their own languages.

Peru is famous for its diverse and innovative cuisine - but how is it making sure its venerable food heritage is preserved for decades to come? We meet the indigenous Quechua people who are cultivating more than 1300 species of potato, working with scientists to safeguard seeds in community banks as part of both ecological and cultural efforts. And we hear how communities in the high Andes are turning back to crops like quinoa and kiwacha in the face of climate pressures and the desire to boost nutrition.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems.

This week, we're thrilled to welcome Terry Cumes, Managing Director of the world-renowned retreat center Willka T'ika, nestled in Peru's Sacred Valley of the Incas. Raised in the U.S. yet deeply rooted in the Andes through family and spirit, Terry bridges two worlds, blending modern Western sensibilities with the ancient wisdom of Andean cosmology.Terry takes us on a transformative journey through the lush landscapes and spiritual heart of the Sacred Valley, where mountains are revered as living deities and the Quechua people honor Pachamama, Mother Earth, through rituals of gratitude and reciprocity. He shares the remarkable story of his mother's vision to build Willka T'ika nearly 30 years ago, creating one of Peru's first luxury wellness sanctuaries devoted to yoga, nature, and the spiritual traditions of the Andes. What began as a family dream has evolved into a destination for seekers from around the world, drawn to its sacred gardens, ancient energy, and timeless wisdom.In this episode, we explore the essence of Andean cosmology, including its three worlds of spirit, earth, and underworld, its deep reverence for the mountains known as Apus, and the practice of ayni, a guiding principle of balance and reciprocity with the natural world. Terry also shares how his Western business training and his father's background in both medicine and shamanism inform his unique approach to leadership, wellness, and purpose.Join us for a rich and soulful conversation about finding harmony between modern life and ancient truth, reconnecting with the spirit of the earth, and discovering what it means to live in true reciprocity with the world around us.

President Donald Trump and his administration abruptly ended billions of dollars in aid to foreign countries, calling it wasteful and inappropriately supporting a liberal agenda. In addition to food and medicine that went directly to Indigenous people who need it, the money and goods also promoted agriculture programs and other incentives toward preventing people with few other options from resorting to the illegal drug trade and other criminal activity that has significant bearing on American interest abroad. We'll hear about the direct effects of ending U.S. support of foreign countries as well as the long-term implications. GUESTS Sandra Lazarte (Quechua), former Indigenous Peoples and Climate advisor for U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Leonardo Crippa (Kolla), senior attorney at the Indian Law Resource Center Brian Keane, co-founder of Land is Life, former UN Permanent Forum rapporteur, and the first advisor on Indigenous Peoples' Issues for U.S. Foreign Assistance Andrew Miller, advocacy director for Amazon Watch

With their pleated skirts and bowler hats the “cholita” women are a common sight in Bolivia's administrative capital La Paz. They're often from indigenous Aymara and Quechua cultures. Until recently cholita was used as a derogatory term to talk about their distinctive traditional clothing and they were discriminated against.Jane Chambers travels to Bolivia to find out how these women are reclaiming their cultural heritage and going from outcasts to icons and what it says about society. Join her to meet the cholita wrestlers, fashion designers and mountaineers changing public opinion.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

Chronicling the practices, legends, and wisdom of the vanishing traditions of the upper Amazon, this book reveals the area's indigenous peoples' approach to living in harmony with the natural world. Rainforest Medicine features in-depth essays on plant-based medicine and indigenous science from four distinct Amazonian societies: deep forest and urban, lowland rainforest and mountain.The book is illustrated with unique botanical and cultural drawings by Secoya elder and traditional healer Agustin Payaguaje and horticulturalist Thomas Y. Wang as well as by the author himself. Payaguaje shares his sincere imaginal view into the spiritual life of the Secoya; plates of petroglyphs from the sacred valley of Cotundo relate to an ancient language, and other illustrations show traditional Secoya ayahuasca symbols and indigenous origin myths. Two color sections showcase photos of the plants and people of the region, and include plates of previously unpublished full-color paintings by Pablo Cesar Amaringo (1938-2009), an acclaimed Peruvian artist renowned for his intricate, colorful depictions of his visions from drinking the entheogenic plant brew, ayahuasca ("vine of the soul" in Quechua languages).Today the once-dense mysterious rainforest realms are under assault as the indiscriminate colonial frontier of resource extraction moves across the region; as the forest disappears, the traditional human legacy of sustainable utilization of this rich ecosystem is also being buried under modern realities. With over 20 years experience of ground-level environmental and cultural conservation, author Jonathon Miller Weisberger's commitment to preserving the fascinating, unfathomably precious relics of the indigenous legacy shines through. Chief among these treasures is the "shimmering" "golden" plant-medicine science of ayahuasca or yajé, a rainforest vine that was popularized in the 1950s by Western travelers such as William Burroughs and Alan Ginsberg. It has been sampled, reviled, and celebrated by outsiders ever since.Currently sought after by many in the industrialized West for its powerful psychotropic and life-transforming effects, this sacred brew is often imbibed by visitors to the upper Amazon and curious seekers in faraway venues, sometimes with little to no working knowledge of its principles and precepts. Perceiving that there is an evident need for in-depth information on ayahuasca if it is to be used beyond its traditional context for healing and spiritual illumination in the future, Miller Weisberger focuses on the fundamental knowledge and practices that guide the use of ayahuasca in indigenous cultures. Weaving first-person narrative with anthropological and ethnobotanical information, Rainforest Medicine aims to preserve both the record and ongoing reality of ayahuasca's unique tradition and, of course, the priceless forest that gave birth to these sacred vines. Featuring words from Amazonian shamans--the living torchbearers of these sophisticated spiritual practices--the book stands as testimony to this sacred plant medicine's power in shaping and healing individuals, communities, and nature alike.Ethnobotanist JONATHON "SPARROW" MILLER WEISBERGER was raised in Ecuador and the U.S. He has collected over 2,000 herbarium specimens, including first-time collections of several new species. From 1990 to 2000, Jonathon lived in the Ecuadorian Amazon among five indigenous nationalities, and was influential in the creation of three reserves including the Napo-Galeras National Park. He participated in the demarcation of Waorani territory and in groundwork that helped the Secoya people retain a significant tract of their ancestral homelands. He is the executive director of the Council for Cultural and Biological Diversity (known in Latin America as Fundación OSA), supporting rainforest conservation and cultural heritage projects in Ecuador and Costa Rica. He is the steward of Guaria de Osa Ecolodge (guariadeosa.com), a rainforest and ocean discovery and education center on the remote Osa peninsula, Costa Rica.

In this first of a series of episodes on healing, we speak with Nicole Nehrig, whose book With Her Own Hands: Women Weaving Their Stories (W.W. Norton, 2025) is a rich and intimate exploration of how women have used textile work to create meaningful lives, from ancient mythology to our current moment. Knitting, sewing, embroidery, quilting―throughout history, these and other forms of textile work have often been dismissed as merely “women's work” and attached to ideas of domesticity and obedience. Yet, as psychologist and avid knitter Nicole Nehrig wonderfully explores in this captivating book, textile work has often been a way for women to exercise power. When their voices were silenced and other avenues were closed off to them, women used the tools they had―often a needle and thread―to seek freedom within the restrictive societies they lived in. Spanning continents and centuries, With Her Own Hands brings together remarkable stories of women who have used textiles as a means of liberation, from an eighteenth-century Quaker boarding school that used embroidered samplers to teach girls math and geography to the Quechua weavers working to preserve and revive Incan traditions today, and from the Miao women of southern China who, in the absence of a written language, pass down their histories in elaborate “story cloths” to a midcentury British women's postal art exchange. Textiles have been a way for women to explore their intellectual capacities, seek economic independence, create community, process traumas, and convey powerful messages of self-expression and political protest. Heartfelt and deeply moving, With Her Own Hands is a celebration of women who have woven their own stories―and a testament to their resilience. Learn more about your ad choices.

Finalist #9 in the Review Contest [This is one of the finalists in the 2025 review contest, written by an ACX reader who will remain anonymous until after voting is done. I'll be posting about one of these a week for several months. When you've read them all, I'll ask you to vote for a favorite, so remember which ones you liked] Ollantay is a three-act play written in Quechua, an indigenous language of the South American Andes. It was first performed in Peru around 1775. Since the mid-1800s it's been performed more often, and nowadays it's pretty easy to find some company in Peru doing it. If nothing else, it's popular in Peruvian high schools as a way to get students to connect with Quechua history. It's not a particularly long play; a full performance of Ollantay takes around an hour.1 Also, nobody knows where Ollantay was written, when it was written, or who wrote it. And its first documented performance led directly to upwards of a hundred thousand deaths. Macbeth has killed at most fifty people,2 and yet it routinely tops listicles of “deadliest plays”. I'm here to propose that Ollantay take its place. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/your-review-ollantay

En este episodio conversamos en quechua y castellano con la antropóloga y cantante ayacuchana Indira Ventura (@isaura_peru) y con el guitarrista Godofredo Quispe sobre el Harawi, un canto ancestral en quechua que se remonta a tiempos prehispánicos. El Harawi es un género lírico y poético que acompaña momentos fundamentales de la vida andina: desde el entierro de un bebé, la siembra y el matrimonio, hasta la herranza, la limpieza de acequias, los bautizos y los rituales funerarios. Entre estos cantos destaca el Yaku Takiy (canto al agua), que honra a la Madre Agua durante la fiesta del Yarqa Aspiy (limpieza de acequias). Como investigadora, Indira Ventura lo recopiló en su comunidad de Alcamenca (Ayacucho), junto a su familia Magna Ucharima, Zósimo Sulcaray y el maestro retablista Edilberto Jiménez (@edilbertojq23). Aquí lo presenta en una versión especial con el acompañamiento de la guitarra de Godofredo Quispe, quien aporta nuevos matices melódicos que renuevan el Harawi sin perder su raíz ancestral, tradicionalmente ligado a voces femeninas sin instrumentos. La producción reunió el talento de Godofredo Quispe en los arreglos con la guitarra, Jorge “Koki” Solier (@koki_solierc) en la producción musical en DriloRecords, y la casa realizadora Visualtime en la parte audiovisual. El videoclip se grabó en dos paisajes emblemáticos de Ayacucho: la catarata de Puma Paqcha y el mirador de Punkupata, a 4,000 m s. n. m.  

From the Andes to the world: this month, we bring you the story of Quechua singer, rapper, and activist Renata Flores—a journey of rhythm, resistance, and reclamation straight from the mountains of Ayacucho, Peru. This episode of Fritanga features an English-language introduction, followed by a powerful conversation in Spanish with the viral artist redefining Latin music and honoring Indigenous identity by bringing Quechua to the world stage.Desde los Andes para el mundo: este mes, te traemos la historia de Renata Flores - cantante, rapera y activista quechua - una manifestación de ritmo, resistencia y reivindicación desde las montañas de Ayacucho, Perú. Este episodio de Fritanga Podcast comienza con una introducción en inglés, seguida de una conversación en español con una artista que está redefiniendo la música latina al honrar su identidad indígena y llevar el quechua al escenario mundial.ABOUT RENATA [ENGLISH VERSION]:At just 14, Renata Flores went viral rapping Michael Jackson's “The Way You Make Me Feel” in Quechua—the Indigenous Andean language of her ancestors and the most widely spoken Indigenous language in Latin America. But that moment wasn't just a remix. It was a reclaiming.Now 24, Renata has become a powerful voice for Indigenous youth across Latin America. Her music blends hip hop, pop, and ancestral tradition to celebrate her roots and challenge colonial narratives. Her lyrics speak truth to power, and to the soul of a people whose language and culture have survived conquest, marginalization, and war.Following her 2021 debut album Isqun - a 9-track tribute to the strength of Andean women throughout history - Renata is preparing to release her second album, deepening her commitment to cultural pride, Indigenous visibility, and sonic innovation.

***Producer's note: This is a preview of the latest episode of Kuskalla, a trilingual (Quechua-Spanish-English) podcast produced by Red Media and hosted by our comrades Yojana Miraya Oscco and Renzo Aroni. Listen to the full episode on the Kuskalla podcast feed*** In this episode, I talked with Jonathan Ritter, who is the Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology and Chair of the Department of Music at the University of California, Riverside. We discussed his viral Quechua Pumpin song “Karumanta Qamurqani” (I have come from far away).  Characterized by a carnivalesque style, Pumpin is often interpreted as testimonial music from the Fajardo province in Ayacucho, a central region deeply impacted by the Peruvian internal armed conflict between the Maoist Shining Path guerrillas and Peruvian state security forces, lasting from 1980 to 2000. This conflict resulted in nearly 70,000 deaths, primarily affecting Quechua-speaking Indigenous peasants in this region, as noted in the 2003 report of Peru's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. In 2001, shortly after the conflict ended, the Truth Commission began its efforts in communities throughout the Pampas River valley in central Ayacucho, where the Pumpin enjoys popularity. A year earlier, Jonathan Ritter started his fieldwork in the village of Colca for his dissertation focused on this music. After mastering the Pumpin guitar, he composed his song “Karumanta Qamurqani” to perform at the newly relaunched Pumpin contest held on the Waswantu plateau in February 2001. This contest had been on hold since 1983 when government security forces shut it down, targeting locals for allegedly supporting the Shining Path guerrillas. In February 2002, he performed his song again, and Asto Producciones filmed it for the first time on video cassette. In this episode, we talk about how Pumpin transforms from traditional music into a powerful form of testimony that recounts wartime experiences and survival in the aftermath. We then examine the lyrics of “Karumanta Qamurqani,” discussing their meanings and the song's reception both during the live performance in Waswantu and after its 2008 upload to YouTube. The response from Peruvians sheds light on issues of race, class, and identity, as well as the reclamation of Quechua language and culture in the post-war context.  This episode is dedicated to Alejandro Mendonza Alca from Colca, Jonathan Ritter's mentor and maestro of Pumpin, who sadly passed away a few years ago. For more information on Pumpin music and its history, check out Jonathan Ritter's articles, including “Carnival of Memory: Songs of Protest and Remembrance in the Andes,” published by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in 2013.

Q'eswachaka is the last Incan rope bridge. It's located down in a valley in the Andes mountains of Peru. And in early June, the residents of four Quechua communities hold a three-day-long festival, where they rebuild the bridge from scratch.This is not just a task to be done, but an ancestral ceremony. A means of holding on to their traditions and the story—resisting modernity and the passage of time, by preserving this piece of their history and their culture.The bridge itself is a symbol of the community's connection to their past, to their ancestors, to the next generations, to the land… and to Mother Earth. This is episode 48 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

For Memorial Day, we have stories of conflict and devotion, and how they are told through memorials.A well-known memorial in Washington, DC, pays tribute to the US service members who lost their lives in the Vietnam War, but few memorials honor the Vietnamese who fought alongside them, or the hundreds of thousands who came to the US in subsequent years. A new memorial project in the "Little Saigon" neighborhood of Dorchester in Boston aims to do just that. Also, Chile's biggest carnival is kicking off at full speed. As many as 150,000 people have traveled to the northern Chilean town of Arica to participate. But this is not your typical carnival. Most of the dances and music come from Bolivia for a celebration of Indigenous Aymara, Quechua, and Afro-Chilean identities. And, Yaroslav Simkiv has played the trumpet for over 50 years and is a recognizable figure in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. Several times a day, he plays his instrument from the towering mayoral building in Lviv's main square to announce the time of day. But these days, Simkiv has taken on a more serious role — bidding a musical farewell to Ukraine's fallen soldiers.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.

Join us and be inspired in this replay episode from Women Acquiring Assets, featuring Laura Grier's journey as a travel photojournalist and entrepreneur rooted in a passion for cultural preservation and meaningful impact. Through her global travels and work with National Geographic, she witnessed firsthand the beauty and fragility of indigenous traditions. This inspired her to co-found Andeana Hats, a socially driven business that partners with Quechua women in Peru to create handcrafted hats. Each piece incorporates sacred weaving techniques and symbols that carry deep cultural and spiritual significance, providing the artisans with fair wages and sustainable income while celebrating their heritage. Andeana Hats is more than a fashion brand—it's a movement that empowers women, honors ancient craftsmanship, and bridges worlds through intentional design. By paying artisans upfront and educating them on valuing their skills, the business has sparked economic and social transformation within their communities. Many of these women are experiencing financial independence for the first time, and their families are now supported by a business that values purpose over profit. Laura's philosophy centers on collaboration, cultural exchange, and starting small with a big vision, making Andeana a blueprint for conscious entrepreneurship. Support the mission of Andeana Hats and be a part of this transformative journey. By purchasing an Andeana hat, you're directly empowering Quechua women and helping preserve their culture and craft.

Two new picture books explore how the outside world can transform our relationships with our communities and ourselves. First, Kiese Laymon is out with a children's book about three Black boys who connect during a transformative summer in the South. With City Summer, Country Summer, Laymon says he wanted to explore the experience of getting lost as a kind of experimentation. In today's episode, the author speaks with NPR's Michel Martin about his wish to write a book about the emotional tenderness of Black boys. Then, The Littlest Drop is Sascha Alper's debut children's book, based on a parable from the indigenous Quechua people of South America. Brian Pinkney took over illustrations for the project after his father, Jerry Pinkney, died in 2020. In today's episode, NPR's Ayesha Rascoe brings Alper and Brian Pinkney together in conversation. The author and illustrator discuss the collaboration between father and son and Alper's desire to broaden the story beyond the climate crisis.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Meet Liberato Kani, a hip hop artist in Lima, Peru—or as he says, “the Andean Bronx”. At his concerts, a typical call and response you hear is "Quechua es resistencia": Quechua is resistance. Though Quechua is spoken by nearly ten million people, Peru's native language is at risk of dying off because of anti-indigenous prejudice. Liberato and other musicians like Renata Flores are here to save it—and restore a country's pride while they're at it. Want to talk more about the show? Share your favorite artist from this episode with host Saleem Reshamwala (@Kidethnic) on Twitter. This episode features music and interviews from Liberato Kani, Renata Flores, Kayfex, and Uchpa's guitarist and songwriter Marcos Maizel.
