Puma Quispe Singona
Speaking
to thousands of people globally and inspiring them in his special heartfelt way,
Puma Quispe Singona (on left) is described as “magical, compassionate and wise
beyond his years” with a deep reverence for Pachamama (Earth Mother) and an
ancient understanding of the Cosmos. Puma’s gift lies in the ability to open
people’s hearts firstly to themselves, then to their family and ultimately to
their global community. Trained by his Grandfather since the age of 6, Puma has
been walking the path of a traditional Andean Medicine Man and is recognized as
a holder of ancient wisdom.
He is a prominent citizen within his local community and a member of the
Elders Council in Chinchero, Peru as well as the Co-founder of Cusi
Huayna, a youth group focused on re-strengthening the community through the
remembrance of traditional dance, story and weaving. He is accredited to sharing
the secrets of the Andes with hundreds of tourists each year as a guide on the
Inca Trail while continuing to study with Quechua elders throughout the Sacred
Valley.
Today Puma plays an active role in world affairs by sitting on several
international and indigenous councils including the World Wisdom Council, whose
honorary chair is Mikhail Gorbachyev. He was also featured in
4Real which began
as a documentary television series that features young leaders who, under
extreme circumstances, are affecting real change on some of the most pressing
issues of our time, and has now expanded to include an online global community.
Through this work, he is ensuring the contribution of indigenous wisdom toward
strengthening the vision of global harmony and healing.
