The Grandfather of the North

By Fernando Davalos

During a meeting of elders of indigenous traditions in the western mountains of Mexico, Agustin and his group " New Way" of practical and applied spiritual ecology met a medicine-man from the north of the American continent that greatly impressed them due to his loving and magnetic personality and his wisdom. To see him again, they start a long journey that would take them to his humble abode in a spiritual venture that would take them two weeks. As a reward for their efforts, they receive spiritual wisdom and peace through the comforting presence and teachings of the Grandfather of the North, spiritual gifts that would consolidate the adequate functioning of their group and that would have an important influence in the future spiritual development of each one of its members.
