The gathering

A call to remember, to heal, and to protect the sacred

Guardians of the Sacred is a living prayer, envisioned and guided by Grandmother Flordemayo. Elders, Grandmothers, Wisdom Keepers and Seed Keepers from around the world come together to share sacred teachings, ceremony and ancestral wisdom for the healing of humanity and Mother Earth.

It is our chance to weave together ancient traditions with the hope of future generations, and to reconnect with the land, the elements and the ways of our ancestors.

Our roots

Grandmother Flordemayo and The Path

Grandmother Flordemayo is a Mayan curandera, healer and prayerful messenger for Mother Earth. Guided by a vision, she founded The Path, home to the Seed Temple in Estancia, New Mexico, where heirloom seeds are preserved, prayed over and gifted to future generations.

Guardians of the Sacred grows from that same prayer, and is sponsored by The Path, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.

It all begins with an idea.

Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
