Annual Pilgrimage to Wirikuta - Each year, Don David Wiley, attending shaman of Grupo Tatewari, fulfills his sacred mandas through the traditional pilgrimage to Wirikuta—the sacred desert honored by the Wixárika people as the birthplace of the world. Guided by elder mara’akame Don Efren González, this journey is reserved for initiated mara’akate and serves to deepen their commitment, reinforce ancestral teachings, and strengthen their healing work through authentic, lived experience within the tradition.
Kawiterutsirri: Guardians of Ancestral Wisdom - The Kawiterutsirri are the council of elders of Grupo Tatewari, a group of dedicated Westerners walking the Wixárika medicine path under the guidance of Grandfather Fire, the first and original shaman. As initiated mara’akate (traditional healers and counselors), they ensure the integrity of this ancient tradition while making it accessible to modern seekers. Rooted in honor, respect, and spiritual responsibility, the Kawiterutsirri meet regularly to guide Grupo Tatewari’s work, holding ceremonies, leading pilgrimages, and supporting those called to the ancestral path. Their mission is to rekindle humanity’s lost connection to the sacred, bringing balance and healing to individuals and communities. Though they live in different parts of the world, they remain united through ongoing gatherings, both online and in person, ensuring that Grandfather Fire’s wisdom continues to illuminate the way forward.
