In February and March 2025, over 22 representatives from ancestral communities will embark on a historic pilgrimage across the five continents, aiming to deliver a profound message of peace and unity for humanity.

In today’s increasingly individualistic societies, we have lost our sense of unity and collaboration. To address this, various representatives of ancestral communities will come together for a historic pilgrimage across the five continents. Through a sacred ceremony called the KIVA, they will share a message of peace and unity through their voices – words, songs and prayers. 

These diverse indigenous peoples will make a 46-day journey across the 5 continents, travelling together to form a circle of protection for humanity. This journey aims to unite all races in a single prayer for Mother Earth.

This is a CALL for you. We invite you to  join this ceremony that transcends borders and highlights the value of diversity, unity, and generosity. It is time to restore the Earth’s balance, walking in harmony with her as one big family.

“Let us walk together in honor and respect for all our relations”

OUR VISION

Roots of the Earth was born from the vision of linking ancestral cultures from different territories across the globe. Our aim is to share the traditional indigenous wisdom of the knowledge keepers worldwide through four primary legacies: the sweat lodge, vision quest, sun dance, and the KIVA ceremony. These ceremonies travel the world, providing spiritual service and fostering connections and bridges between indigenous worldviews and modern societies. They bring together all races, languages, prayers, and songs.

The KIVA Ceremony is a sacred four-day event that brings together spiritual manifestations from around the world in one place.

Representing the heart of the Earth, a sacred circle is formed where the prayers of different races and their diverse traditions and all forms of communication with the cosmos and life converge. 

Through the sounds of prayers, rituals, storytelling, and the universal language of the spirit, the KIVA ceremony weaves a bond of understanding that reminds us – despite our differences – of our unity as one human family, deeply linked to the destiny of our planet.

“The main objective of the Kiva ceremony is to heal the relationship between humans and nature. Humanity is increasingly moving away from harmonious coexistence with our Mother Earth. This saddened her greatly. That is why she gave humans the Kiva ceremony through Raimundo Tigre Pérez. We gather elders, healers, monks, and shamans from the five continents. Special people who have brought compassion, love, awareness, or simply being one with creation to a level of mastery. They can be Buddhists, Indian healers, priestesses, etc. All bring their prayers and traditions to the ceremony. The possibilities are as varied as nature itself. Through their individual prayer, together in the Kiva, they bring healing to the world. Their example is an inspiration. All visitors support them in their prayers and experience that we are all one big family, together celebrating unity in diversity.”

OUR HISTORY 

Our history dates back to the 1960s, inspired by the vision of Raimundo Tigre Pérez, an indigenous elder and knowledge keeper. He was a passionate advocate for the rights of indigenous peoples and the preservation and rights of Mother Earth and all life on it. His spiritual legacy is to unify diverse worldviews through the KIVA ceremony.

We are currently present in 13 countries, working within communities to preserve ancestral traditions for future generations.
