History of the Director – Yatiri Manuel.

Yatiri Manuel is the founder and director of the Sanctuary of Ancestral Medicine project. His journey has developed from a territorial, experiential, and community-based training process in the Chilean Andes, where he has participated for years in learning spaces related to Andean ancestral medicine, the care of life, and a respectful relationship with nature.

His path does not stem from a traditional academic approach, but rather from direct experience, observation, community involvement, and the responsible transmission of knowledge, always guided by principles of cultural respect, ethics, and informed consent. In this process, Yatiri Manuel has come to understand the importance of safeguarding ancestral knowledge, preventing its decontextualization, improper commercialization, or irresponsible use.

Throughout his career, he has developed a clear vision of the need to integrate ancestral medicine with contemporary institutional frameworks, especially when this knowledge is disseminated beyond its territories of origin. This reflection led him to conceive of the Sanctuary not as a spiritual or private space, but as a public, transparent, and culturally situated initiative oriented toward community well-being. The decision to launch the project in Denmark stems from his recognition of the country's robust public policies, respect for cultural rights, and social approach to well-being. From this perspective, Yatiri Manuel defines his role not as that of a central healer, but as a director, custodian, and facilitator, responsible for ensuring the project maintains ethical coherence, institutional clarity, and respect for both Danish culture and the shared Andean knowledge.

Currently, Yatiri Manuel directs the project from the Chilean Andes, leading its presentation phase, which focuses on building alliances, fostering citizen participation, and ensuring the Sanctuary's successful integration into the Danish context, with a long-term vision based on the public good, responsible interculturality, and social and cultural sustainability. While this is the technical aspect, Yatiri Manuel embodies the ancient Solar Priests, recognizing their work before the Ice Age and their participation in the construction of the Aymara people's medical and educational platforms in ancient America. He is a healer, spiritual guide, and responsible for ancestral ceremonies in his territory, due to his ancestral lineage of sages, builders, leaders, and healers.

Today, he bears the responsibility of sharing our knowledge with the community and educating me about ancestral medicine and community wellness systems.

We clarify that his role is not that of a simple herbalist. He is the guardian of sacred knowledge about the health of:

• External energy.

• Internal electricity.

• The personality and the soul.

• The physical body.

• Relationship with the environment.

Due to recent events on our continent, which endanger the preservation of this knowledge and, above all, life as we know it, we, the Andean organization Awatiri Tiknamarka, have decided to help our Yatiri Manuel fulfill his mission in Scandinavia. The mission is to rebuild their Ancestral Medicine Sanctuary and educate Scandinavian society about ancestral health and medicine. This sacred center, dedicated to healing, community management, and exchange, was destroyed in the past to make way for the construction of Catholic cathedrals—the same Catholicism that commits genocide in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. It's worth noting that this wasn't the only one destroyed; thousands of altars, centers, and entire cities were razed to make way for churches and cathedrals. As Yatiri Manuel matured and recognized the total chaos in which human society is immersed, he decided to focus on the critical importance of the health of the mind, personality, and soul. This was a difficult decision given the political reality of the Americas. And the reason is quite obvious: the invaders own all technologies, film, television, radio, social media, book writers, commentators, medicine, politics, science, militias, laws, judges. In America, we see this daily. We are an island besieged by organized crime. The brainwashing of society has led to a demented slavery, yet one accepted by all continents. But something is happening with the new generations; they are more astute than we are. They are realizing what is happening on the planet, and this is one of the many reasons that motivated our Yatiri Manuel to leave his paradise and sacrifice himself for the new generations. It may sound very poetic, but we have legends and prophecies about the fall of the Anglo-Saxon empire and the descent from the mountains of the great sage who will reunite his brothers to heal once more.

to human society. Our yatri Manuel, when consulted on this topic, tells us, "I am Manuel, a simple healer, but upon reading his book we realize that he is much more than just a person. For this reason, the Andean organizations decided to help him so that he can do what he wants."

From childhood he was an agent of nature, of health and peace. In middle age, he withdrew from society to begin his training in the world of souls and finish recovering all the knowledge of his past lives and his ancestors. Once his training was complete, he returned to dedicate himself to Chilean society, conducting workshops, talks, discussions, and mass consultations in public health centers. Contact with people helped him understand the great damage that organized crime inflicts on individuals. Thus, he understood that it is not only a problem in Chile but something that affects countries dominated by Anglo-Saxons and their right-wing and left-wing politics. Divide and conquer.

His connection with Chilean society inspired him to write the Manual of Ancestral Medicine, which, after three years of writing, explains everything about health and how to evolve according to ancestral knowledge, marking a profound difference from anything else that exists. Despite being a treasure translated into a common language, this did not give him the peace he sought in preserving his knowledge; something was missing. After researching and conversing with his ancestors in the realm of souls, he decided to stop hiding in the mountains and do something for human society. Without hesitation, he began to draw his sanctuary, which remained submerged after the thawing of the ice age: a structure of seven primitive ceremonial and educational sanctuaries where people can learn and return to the root of what it means to live and exist—healthy, prosperous, strong, wise, leaders, respectful of nature, joyful, fun-loving, disciplined, successful—to see and enjoy the present, thus ensuring a beautiful life.

So once again she set about writing what she wanted, researched, and decided that Denmark was the only country capable of managing a sacred sanctuary, and based on its own history, it would understand what an ancestral health agent is.
