SUMMARY:Kawiterutsirri  In- Person Meetings
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed\, specialized event\, hosted by Grupo Tatewari Council of Elders\, known as the Kawiterutsirri.\nThe Kawiterutsirri are the esteemed council of elders of Grupo Tatewari\, a collective of devoted Westerners walking the sacred path of traditional medicine within the timeless Wixárika lineage. In every Wixárika community\, Kawiterutsirri is the name given to the Council of Elders—those who embody wisdom\, experience\, and spiritual authority. In Grupo Tatewari\, this name has been given in recognition of the responsibility and sacred trust these elders carry as they guide the path forward. \nEach member of the Kawiterutsirri has undergone years of disciplined training\, pilgrimages\, and initiations under the direct instruction of Grandfather Fire\, the first and original shaman. It is Grandfather who called them to this path\, led them to the ancestral lands of the Sierra Madre Mountains in Mexico\, and who continues to guide their steps\, decisions\, and prayers. \nAs initiated mara’akate—traditional healers\, counselors\, and ritual leaders—they are recognized by the Wixárika Kawiterutsirri in the Sierra and have been entrusted with the sacred duty of helping modern people find healing\, purpose\, and reconnection through this living tradition. \nThe Kawiterutsirri serve not just as spiritual leaders but as guardians of sacred values—honor\, respect\, responsibility\, and right relationship. Everything they do arises from these principles\, rooted in a commitment to walk with humility\, integrity\, and deep listening to the land\, the ancestors\, the spirits\, and to each other. \nThough they live in different regions across North and Central America\, the Kawiterutsirri remain closely connected\, gathering regularly via Zoom and meeting in person before or after pilgrimages\, ceremonies\, or trainings. These councils allow them to align their work and discern Grandfather Fire’s will for the ongoing unfolding of this sacred path. \nAs bridges between worlds—ancient and contemporary\, seen and unseen—the Kawiterutsirri of Grupo Tatewari carry the fire forward\, so it may continue to illuminate lives\, heal hearts\, and inspire new generations to walk in beauty\, balance\, and reverence.
