BPC Announces the first
Ethnobotanical Andean Foray: Exploring past & present cultural strategies
for life on Earth
Come join us! For 10 days in Spring of 2009 a small group of us will walk the land and explore the plants, customs, and archaeology of the Andean realm of the Urubamba Valley in south central Peru, a region of rugged mountains, pastoral landscapes, and mysterious ruins.
Immerse yourself in a vibrant ecological tapestry woven by the reciprocal relations of distinct flora and fauna, stunning geography, and traditional cultures whose roots reach far into the past drawing essential nutrients from their ancient traditions.
Take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn the basics of the dynamic
science of ethnobotany, conservation based plant and seed collecting,
traditional agriculture, indigenous Andean spirituality and cross cultural
shamanism. Examine some of the most alluring archaeological sites in the world,
and consider how the triumphs and faults of past cultures reflect our modern
dilemma of how to live on this wondrous planet we all call home.
See here for the trip ITINERARY and other details.
