The sacred seeds have been used as a source of life and
medicine. For the Inca and pre-Inca people, the corn seeds were a connection
with (Pachamama) Mother Earth. In our ceremonies, this is one of the most
important elements. The Winter Solstice, one of the most important events
for the Inca calendar, was celebrated in a Garden of Golden Crops of Corn
in the Koricancha or Temple of Our Father Sun.
Gold and corn was shared among the people as a sign of
enlightenment. In the same way, our purpose is to share the wisdom and
knowledge of our ancestors with people around the world.
