1.5 Executive Summary:
Project: Ancestral Medicine Sanctuary – Intercultural Community and Holistic Health Center
The Ancestral Medicine Sanctuary is a community-based social, cultural, and health project aimed at creating an intercultural space dedicated to holistic health, community well-being, the preservation of ancestral knowledge, and environmental sustainability, in accordance with the democratic, social, and ecological values promoted by the municipalities of Denmark and the European Union. The project proposes the development of a sustainable architectural infrastructure, designed according to principles of low environmental impact, universal accessibility, and energy efficiency. This infrastructure will house therapeutic, educational, cultural, and community activities, integrating ancestral medicine knowledge from Indigenous peoples with contemporary approaches to preventative health, psychosocial well-being, and community cohesion.
The Sanctuary is conceived as a space open to the community, intended for people of diverse ages, cultural backgrounds, and social conditions, promoting social inclusion, intercultural dialogue, mental health, reconnection with nature, and the strengthening of the community fabric. The project places special emphasis on populations facing social stress, isolation, mental health crises, and cultural disconnection—problems that are growing in urban and semi-urban European contexts.
From a social perspective, the project seeks to generate a positive and measurable impact through community programs, educational workshops, preventative health activities, spaces for intercultural encounters, and citizen participation initiatives. Social, cultural, and environmental impact indicators will be implemented, ensuring continuous evaluation processes and public transparency. The Sanctuary will operate under a participatory governance model, incorporating the local community, social organizations, healthcare professionals, educators, and bearers of ancestral knowledge, guaranteeing ethical, responsible, and culturally respectful management. Citizen participation will be a cross-cutting theme of the project, from its design to its implementation and evaluation.
In the environmental sphere, the project aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), prioritizing the use of renewable energy, ecological materials, responsible water and waste management, and the protection of local biodiversity, positioning itself as a benchmark for sustainable social architecture.
The project's financing involves a large-scale investment, estimated in millions of euros, from a combination of municipal public funds, national and European grants, international cooperation, private donations, and institutional partnerships, with a strong emphasis on financial transparency and long-term economic sustainability. The Danish state will be responsible for managing all of the funds, as well as selecting the strategies used to finance the construction and subsequent operation of the Sanctuary.
In summary, the Ancestral Medicine Sanctuary is presented as a strategic project with high social impact, contributing to the holistic well-being of the community, the strengthening of cultural diversity, innovation in community health models, and the climate and social commitments undertaken by the municipalities of Denmark.
1.6 General Purpose of the Sanctuary:
The general purpose of the Ancestral Medicine Sanctuary is to create and maintain an intercultural community space for holistic health, dedicated to the preservation, transmission, and responsible application of ancestral knowledge, integrated with contemporary approaches to well-being, prevention, and social cohesion, within a framework of cultural respect, environmental sustainability, and regulatory compliance.
The Sanctuary seeks to contribute to the physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being of the community, strengthening the bond between people, nature, and cultural diversity through inclusive therapeutic, educational, and community programs. It also aims to act as an institutional benchmark for social innovation, promoting participatory community health models, intercultural dialogue and sustainable territorial development, aligned with local public policies and the Sustainable Development Goals.
2. Fundamentals.
2.1 Social Problems Addressed.
The Ancestral Medicine Sanctuary project responds to a set of contemporary social problems that increasingly affect urban and semi-urban communities. These include the decline in overall well-being, increased psychosocial stress, the fragmentation of the community fabric, and the disconnection between people, nature, and cultural references of meaning.
In particular, there is a growing demand for community spaces for care, support, and health prevention, especially in the areas of mental health, social isolation, emotional exhaustion, and the loss of community ties—phenomena that have a cross-cutting impact on different ages and social groups. This is compounded by the limited access to comprehensive and preventative health approaches that incorporate cultural, emotional, and relational dimensions, going beyond conventional biomedical models.
Furthermore, the project addresses the invisibility and weakening of ancestral and traditional knowledge, along with the lack of institutional spaces where this knowledge can be transmitted, practiced, and safeguarded in an ethical, regulated, and respectful manner. This situation implies a loss of intangible cultural heritage and reduces opportunities for intercultural dialogue and mutual learning.
Finally, the Sanctuary responds to the need to strengthen social cohesion and citizen participation, creating an inclusive environment that promotes encounter, community collaboration, and collective care, in accordance with current social, cultural, and environmental challenges.
2.2 Cultural and Social Justification.
The Ancestral Medicine Sanctuary is culturally and socially justified by the need to recognize, protect, and revitalize ancestral knowledge as part of intangible cultural heritage, integrating it responsibly and ethically into contemporary community contexts. This knowledge constitutes systems of understanding well-being, health, and the relationship with nature that have historically demonstrated their value in social cohesion, collective care, and the intergenerational transmission of values. From a social perspective, the project responds to the demand for inclusive spaces for encounter and care, capable of strengthening the community fabric and promoting holistic well-being within a framework of respect for cultural diversity. The Sanctuary offers an environment where different traditions, experiences, and knowledge can engage in dialogue, contributing to the building of more resilient, supportive, and participatory communities.
Culturally, the project acts as an intercultural bridge, facilitating respectful exchange between traditional knowledge and contemporary approaches, preventing their folklorization or misappropriation. The institutionalization of these spaces ensures clear ethical, regulatory, and pedagogical frameworks, guaranteeing that cultural practices are carried out with dignity, informed consent, and recognition of their bearers.
Overall, the Sanctuary positions itself as an initiative of social and cultural value, aligned with principles of diversity, inclusion, and cultural rights, contributing to collective well-being, strengthening identity, and promoting more humane and sustainable models of social development.
2.3 Territorial and Demographic Context
The Ancestral Medicine Sanctuary project is situated within a territorial context characterized by cultural diversity, urban and semi-urban dynamics, and a growing need for community spaces that foster well-being and social cohesion. The area presents a combination of residential zones, natural spaces, and community facilities, offering favorable conditions for the development of a social infrastructure integrated with the environment and respectful of the local landscape.
From a demographic perspective, the population comprises people of varying ages, cultural backgrounds, and social trajectories, including families, senior citizens, youth, migrant communities, and groups interested in preventive health practices and holistic well-being. This scenario reflects a social and cultural plurality that demands inclusive initiatives capable of responding to diverse needs in health, social support, and community participation.
The area also reveals challenges associated with social isolation, urban stress, strain on health services, and the decline in community gathering spaces—phenomena that particularly impact vulnerable populations and individuals experiencing social or cultural disconnection. Furthermore, the proximity and importance of natural areas underscores the importance of development models that integrate environmental stewardship, sustainability, and responsible land use.
In this context, the Sanctuary is projected It functions as a strategic community facility, capable of connecting territory, population, and nature, contributing to the social, cultural, and environmental balance of the area, and strengthening local identity through a participatory and sustainable approach.
2.4 Relationship with local public policies.
The Ancestral Medicine Sanctuary is coherently aligned with local public policies focused on social welfare, preventive health, community cohesion, cultural inclusion, and environmental sustainability. The project complements municipal action by offering a community space that contributes to health prevention, strengthens the social fabric, and promotes healthy lifestyles, reducing pressure on formal healthcare systems.
In the social and cultural sphere, the Sanctuary aligns with local policies on diversity, intercultural integration, and citizen participation, providing an institutional framework that fosters dialogue among communities, equitable access to cultural activities, and the recognition of cultural rights. Its inclusive approach responds to the municipal objectives of equal opportunities and social cohesion.
From a territorial and environmental perspective, the project is consistent with land-use planning, sustainable development, and natural environment protection policies, proposing an infrastructure with low environmental impact, efficient use of resources, and respect for the landscape. It also promotes practices aligned with local commitments to climate action and sustainability.
Overall, the Sanctuary is configured as a complementary and strategic initiative for local public policy, contributing social, cultural, and environmental value, and generating synergies with existing municipal programs in health, culture, the environment, and community development.

2.6 1. United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) - 2007. This is the most important and comprehensive document. Although not a legally binding treaty per se, it represents an international consensus and carries enormous moral and political weight. Many of its principles are now considered part of customary international law.
Key articles on beliefs and practices:
Article 11: Recognizes the right of indigenous peoples to practice and revitalize their cultural traditions and customs, including the right to maintain, protect, and develop past, present, and future manifestations of their cultures.
Article 12: Recognizes the right to manifest, practice to maintain, develop, and teach their spiritual and religious traditions; to maintain and protect their religious and cultural sites; and to use their objects of worship.
Article 24: Includes the right to their traditional medicines and to maintain their health practices.
Article 31: Recognizes the right to maintain, control, protect, and develop their cultural heritage, traditional knowledge, and traditional cultural expressions.
2. Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention (No. 169) of the International Labour Organization (ILO) - 1989
This is the only legally binding international treaty specifically dedicated to the rights of indigenous peoples. Countries that ratify it (several in Latin America, such as Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, among others) are obligated to comply with it.
Key provisions:
Article 5: Recognition of their own social, cultural, religious, and spiritual values and practices.
Article 7: Right to determine their own development priorities, which affect their lives, beliefs, and territories.
Article 13: Respect for the special importance of the spiritual relationship with lands or territories.
3. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) - 1966
Binding treaty for States that have ratified it.
Article 27: Protects the rights of ethnic, religious, or linguistic minorities to enjoy their own cultural life, to profess and practice their own religion, and to use their own language. This article has been used extensively by Indigenous peoples.
4. International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) - 1966
Binding treaty for States that have ratified it.
Article 15: Recognizes the right of everyone to participate in cultural life. The UN Committee has interpreted this to include the protection of Indigenous cultures.
5. Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage - UNESCO (2003)
Although not exclusive to Indigenous peoples, it is crucial for protecting living practices.
It protects oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, festive events, knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe, and traditional craftsmanship. Many Indigenous elements from the Americas have been inscribed on its lists.
6. Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) - 1992 and its Nagoya Protocol
It recognizes the vital role of Indigenous traditional knowledge in the conservation of biodiversity and establishes standards for access to that knowledge and the fair sharing of benefits.
While it is true that there are a variety of articles protecting the practices of Indigenous peoples, our Yatiri (traditional healer) understands that it is also important to sign a working agreement that clearly defines the roles and obligations of both parties, between the government and the community.
2.7 Identified Community Needs.
The design of the Ancestral Medicine Sanctuary is based on the identification of community needs related to holistic well-being, social cohesion, preventative health, and access to cultural and natural spaces for care. Among the main needs identified are:
Access to community spaces for care and well-being, where people can find support, companionship, and activities focused on preventative physical, mental, and emotional health.
Strengthening mental and psychosocial health in the face of increased stress, loneliness, emotional exhaustion, and social disconnection present in different age groups.
Spaces for intercultural and intergenerational encounters that promote respectful dialogue, mutual learning, and coexistence among people of diverse cultural backgrounds and social experiences.
Recognition and transmission of ancestral knowledge, which currently has little institutional visibility and limited opportunities for practice, teaching, and ethical safeguarding.
Accessible preventative and educational activities focused on self-care, healthy living, the relationship with nature, and strengthening community capacities. Genuine and transparent citizen participation, through mechanisms that allow the community to be involved in the design, use, and evaluation of spaces and programs.
Social infrastructure integrated into the environment, combining functionality, universal accessibility, and respect for the environment.
These needs highlight the demand for comprehensive community facilities capable of integrating health, culture, education, and sustainability, contributing to collective well-being and strengthening the local social fabric.
3. Conceptual and Philosophical Framework.
3.1 Principles of Ancestral Medicine
Ancestral medicine is based on a set of principles that conceive of health as a state of holistic balance between the individual, the community, nature, and the spiritual and cultural environment. These principles guide the practices and approaches of the Sanctuary, ensuring a respectful, ethical, and coherent practice that aligns with traditional knowledge and contemporary frameworks of well-being.
Among the fundamental principles are:
Wholeness of the human being: health is understood as the harmony between physical, mental, emotional, social, personality, and spiritual dimensions, avoiding fragmented approaches to care.
Harmonious relationship with nature: recognition of nature as a source of balance, learning, and healing, promoting respect for natural cycles and the responsible use of resources. This also includes understanding the impacts nature has on the visual, olfactory, and tactile senses, as well as the natural frequencies it emits, both beneficial and harmful, for all living beings on the planet.
Prevention and ongoing care: emphasis on preventative practices, strengthening daily well-being, and maintaining balance before the onset of illness.
Community dimension of health: individual well-being is linked to collective well-being; the community plays an active role in care, support, and knowledge transmission.
Intergenerational transmission of knowledge: knowledge is safeguarded and transmitted through experience, direct teaching, and respect for knowledge holders.
Ethics, consent, and cultural respect: practices are developed with informed consent, dignity, and recognition of the cultural contexts of origin, avoiding misappropriation.
Complementarity of knowledge: openness to respectful dialogue with contemporary approaches to health and well-being, without replacing or opposing modern medical systems. Our Yatiri Manuel, being a solar priest, neither uses nor promotes the consumption of synthetic or natural narcotics. Born with inherited faculties from both his soul and those inherited from his ancestors and direct relatives, his understanding and wisdom transcend our comprehension. He has a unique way of correcting minds and souls, both on this planet and beyond.
These principles constitute the conceptual foundation of the Sanctuary and guide its operation as a space for holistic care, cultural respect, and sustainable community well-being.
3.2 Worldview and Intercultural Approach
The Ancestral Medicine Sanctuary is based on a worldview that recognizes the interdependence between human beings, the community, nature, and the cultural environment, understanding health and well-being as expressions of relational balance. From this perspective, the project adopts an intercultural approach, promoting respectful and horizontal dialogue between different knowledge systems, traditional wisdom, and contemporary practices.
3.3 Ethics and Cultural Respect
The project is governed by ethical principles that guarantee respect, dignity, and recognition of the peoples and bearers of ancestral knowledge. All practices developed in the Sanctuary are carried out under criteria of informed consent, transparency, and accountability, avoiding any form of cultural appropriation, exploitation, or decontextualization of traditional knowledge.
Likewise, the fair recognition of knowledge and those who transmit it is promoted, ensuring clear regulatory frameworks, protection of cultural rights, and the responsible exercise of practices, in accordance with local and international human and cultural rights standards.
3.4 Holistic Health Approach.
The Sanctuary adopts a holistic health approach, which considers the whole person, integrating physical, mental, emotional, social, and cultural dimensions of well-being. This approach prioritizes prevention, self-care, and the strengthening of personal and community capacities, going beyond reactive care for illness.
The Sanctuary's activities are geared towards promoting healthy lifestyles, emotional balance, positive social connections, and a conscious relationship with the environment, contributing to the sustained well-being of the community.
3.5 Integration with Contemporary Healthcare. The project recognizes and respects contemporary and biomedical healthcare systems, positioning ancestral medicine as a complementary, not a substitute, approach. Integration is based on collaboration, responsible referrals, and respect for competencies, ensuring that the Sanctuary's practices do not interfere with formal medical treatments.
This integration allows for the creation of synergies between community prevention, psychosocial well-being, and conventional healthcare, strengthening local networks.
health and expanding the care options available to the community, always within current legal, ethical, and health frameworks.
Our Yatiri Manuel is invited every year by the Chilean government to participate in intercultural health projects, as demanded by the community. The community needs the power of nature that manifests through him. Manuel, in turn, fully understands all that modern science contributes. However, this work is carried out in the absence of a serious policy that allows our traditional medicine practitioners to fully contribute to society.

12. Impact Assessment and Measurement.
The evaluation and impact measurement of the Ancestral Medicine Sanctuary aims to verify, analyze, and continuously improve the project's social, cultural, and environmental outcomes. This process is based on criteria of transparency, objectivity, and community participation, enabling informed decision-making and accountability to the community and institutions.
12.1 Social Indicators.
The social indicators measure the Sanctuary's impact on community well-being and cohesion, and include, among others:
Number of people participating in activities and programs.
Equitable access to the Sanctuary's services.
Level of community and citizen participation.
Perception of psychosocial well-being among users.
Strengthening of community networks and local collaborations.
12.2 Environmental Indicators.
The environmental indicators evaluate the project's performance in terms of sustainability, such as:

This system facilitates the generation of periodic reports, public access to relevant information, and the continuous improvement of the project's social, cultural, and environmental impact.
This is a project for the reconstruction of one of the traditional healing sanctuaries destroyed by the Catholic Church, one of the many they dismantled to build cathedrals, a practice they carried out throughout the Americas. Our sanctuaries and temples were public spaces for the benefit of the community. For this reason, in honor of my ancestors, we will also rebuild it in partnership with a Danish municipality, where the financing plan is a matter for the municipality, and the technical analysis of the expenses will be delivered directly to them.
13. Risk Management.
The risk management plan for the Sanctuary of Ancestral Medicine aims to anticipate, prevent, and reduce potential negative impacts that could affect the safety, operation, and sustainability of the project. This approach is based on responsible planning, regulatory compliance, and the protection of people, the community, and the environment.
13.1 Risk Identification.
The project identifies various types of risks, including:
Operational risks associated with the daily operation of the Sanctuary.
Health risks related to the care of people and the use of common spaces.
Environmental risks arising from interaction with the natural environment.

Digital and in-person channels are used, adapted to different audiences, promoting two-way communication that facilitates participation, community dialogue, and access to information.
14.2 Public Educational Programs.
The Sanctuary develops educational programs focused on community development, intercultural education, and the promotion of holistic well-being. These programs include workshops, courses, and training sessions for different age groups, using participatory methodologies and content adapted to the local context. All of these programs are linked to aspects of health recovery, prevention, and improvement. This publicly accessible program is separate from the special education program for ancestral healers. 14.3 Special Education Program for Ancestral Healers
The New Generation Healers Training Program aims to develop individuals committed to holistic care, ethics, and cultural respect, capable of safeguarding and promoting ancestral medicine knowledge in contemporary community contexts, responsibly and in accordance with current institutional frameworks.
The program is structured as a progressive training process that combines theoretical instruction, experiential learning, and supervised practice, prioritizing the direct transmission of knowledge by legitimate bearers of ancestral wisdom, along with the support of professionals in related fields.
The training content addresses, among other aspects:
First semester, patience:
Principles of ancestral medicine and worldview.
Ethics, informed consent, and cultural respect.
Holistic health, self-care, and community prevention.
Relationship with nature and responsible use of resources.
Community support and containment practices.
Intercultural communication and community work.
Responsible collaboration with contemporary health systems.
Understanding the body.
Second semester: The body's natural energy.
Third semester: The body's natural electricity.
Fourth semester: Personality and its effects on the body.
Fifth semester: Soul and spirits.
Clarification: There is no set order for training new generations of ancestral healers. You are born, and that's it—you are what you are. The rest is absorbing what is good and bad, and choosing your path: the easy path of the material world or the difficult path to help heal the world.
The process for being approved for admission to this special healer education program is the same one we have used for thousands of generations. It is the ancestral property of my lineage and a secret. We can say that the person is not at risk and is not subject to anything mandatory. I am a native of one of the most upright ethnic groups on the planet. We would never force anyone to do anything that would harm them, much less anything that would affect their modesty, honor, etc. Access to this course is prohibited for minors between the ages of 10 and 17. Admission is possible under strict conditions and with legal parental authorization. The entrance exams for our special education program will have a start and end date, determined by each applicant, and will be evaluated, accepted, or rejected accordingly.
The program incorporates rigorous evaluation criteria, pedagogical support, and ethical, magical, and spiritual safeguards in any space, time, dimension, and at any moment, ensuring that training is conducted responsibly and that students are absolutely protected under all circumstances.
Our Yatiri Manuel is a medicine man of peace and war, radiating something indescribable in the realms of the soul, granting him absolute control over positive and negative nature spirits, good and bad witchcraft, and agents from other planets, both good and bad.
This program positions the Sanctuary as a space for training, safeguarding, and promoting ancestral knowledge, aimed at strengthening community well-being and the responsible transmission of knowledge to future generations, especially regarding what the world needs.
The training of our students is intended to fill the void left by the passing of our Yatiri Manuel, as well as to support the opening of other ancestral medicine centers in Scandinavian countries and subsequently across the rest of the world.
14.3 Cultural Activities.
Cultural activities open to the community are offered, such as dances, songs, and music of Scandinavian ancestors. These activities strengthen cultural identity and foster social and community engagement.
14.4 International Collaboration.
The project promotes international collaboration through cooperation networks, exchange of experiences, and partnerships with organizations, cultural institutions, and academic institutions in other countries. This project contributes to mutual learning, the visibility of the Sanctuary and the consolidation of good practices in the field of community health and interculturality; this will be done first for the Scandinavian countries, to consolidate ideas.

The final site plan will be published once the construction site has been secured.
However, the layout will include the 7 ancestral ceremonial sanctuaries, plus the facilities for amenities, hotel, restaurant, restrooms, infirmary, security post, workshop, classrooms, storage areas, etc.
17.2 Technical Studies – Scope for Public Project.
Danish Municipality.
As this is a public project to be presented to the municipalities of Denmark, the technical studies must adhere to Danish standards and international best practices, ensuring transparency, safety, sustainability, and public benefit. These studies will be uploaded to the website for greater public transparency. The set of technical studies allows the Sanctuary to be presented as a serious, evaluable public project aligned with the standards of the Municipality of Copenhagen, facilitating its institutional review, funding, and public acceptance.
The Sanctuary of Ancestral Medicine is a public social, cultural, and community project, designed to be presented to the Municipality of Copenhagen. Its purpose is to recognize, protect, and promote ancestral knowledge as intangible cultural heritage, integrating it ethically, responsibly, and complementarily into contemporary health and wellness systems.
The Sanctuary is conceived as an intercultural, inclusive, and accessible space, oriented towards holistic well-being, social cohesion, and community strengthening. Its approach is based on principles of cultural respect, ethics, informed consent, diversity, and cultural rights, avoiding any form of misappropriation or substitution of conventional medicine.
The project includes sustainable infrastructure, designed according to criteria of universal accessibility, energy efficiency, and environmental protection, aligned with Danish and European regulations and the Building Regulations (BR18). It integrates renewable energy, responsible waste management, and ecological design, minimizing its environmental impact. From a social perspective, the Sanctuary responds to identified community needs by offering social, educational, and cultural programs, as well as a training program for the next generation of healers. This program ensures the responsible transmission of ancestral knowledge within clear ethical and pedagogical frameworks.
The project aligns with local public policies, contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—particularly in health and well-being, education, reduced inequalities, climate action, and sustainable communities—and is integrated into local and international collaborative networks.
The Sanctuary's governance is structured through an interdisciplinary professional team, led by the Sanctuary's Director, with clearly defined roles in ancestral medicine, administration, and community management, ensuring transparency, accountability, and citizen participation.
Finally, the project incorporates a sustainable financial plan, a phased timeline, comprehensive technical studies, social, cultural, and environmental impact assessment systems, and risk management mechanisms, positioning the Sanctuary as a solid, viable, and high-value public initiative focused on collective well-being and sustainable cultural development. Making it clear that the Sanctuary's intention is to strengthen deep Danish roots and transmit ancestral knowledge regarding traditional South American medicine, all cultural activities will be Danish, and all medicinal knowledge from all times and places will be that of the ancestral lineage of Yatiri Manuel. Likewise, there is an openness to dialogue with spiritual agents from the original territory, should they exist.
Gender equality is also addressed, although this is not a central issue, given that it is inherent to our ethnicity and has been adopted by other continents, but it had to be mentioned according to experts.
The Sanctuary of Ancestral Medicine invites volunteers residing in Denmark to participate in the first stage of the project's development, focused on networking, local representation, and institutional engagement.
Currently, the Sanctuary's management is operating from the Chilean Andes, so this initial stage requires local support to establish connections with Denmark, its institutions, and communities.

Management and establishment of municipal, cultural, and community contacts.
Initial representation of the project before local organizations, networks, and stakeholders.
Support in communication, cultural translation, and understanding of the Danish context.
Liaison with relevant public, academic, and social entities.
Desired profile:
Individuals residing in Denmark.
Interest in cultural, social, community, or intercultural projects.
Knowledge of the Danish institutional and social context (not mandatory).
Clear, ethical, and responsible communication skills.
Commitment to values of cultural respect, transparency, and the common good.
Format:
Flexible, phased volunteering.
Direct coordination with the Sanctuary's Management.
Work primarily involves management, representation, and territorial coordination.
Project Purpose:
The Sanctuary aims to strengthen Danish cultural roots by ethically integrating traditional Andean medicine knowledge within the ceremonial lunar calendar in a public, transparent, engaging, and respectful environment that adheres to local regulations.
This stage is crucial for establishing a solid and legitimate foundation in Denmark, and therefore, voluntary participation will have a real and foundational impact on the project's development.
