Elders from Guatemala

Since his early childhood, Tat Erick Gonzalez has received profound and sustained healing from the indigenous medicine of Guatemala. As a small boy, carried by his grandmother to tribal healers for treatments, he formed an early and lifelong connection to the natural and spiritual forces that would guide his astonishing earth walk.

​

Within the traditional indigenous circles and the native people of the Maya, Tat Erick carries the responsibility of an Aj Q’ij and Kamal Bey (Spiritual Leader, Teacher and Earth Wisdom Keeper). Over a thirty-year period, Tat Erick traveled with, trained under, and was initiated by spiritual Elders from México, Colombia, Peru, Guatemala and throughout North America.

 

He has also been blessed with a truly unique connection to the sacred guidance which comes directly from Spirit. Without hesitation as a youth, Tat Erick participated in Native movements in an effort to protect sacred lands, the heartbeat and essence of the indigenous ways. And in subsequent years, he dedicated himself to serving native communities re-establish their traditional ways, keeping them alive and flourishing for future generations.

 

Through the years and with an unwavering conviction, Tat Erick has participated in Indigenous Councils throughout the Americas, gathering tribal Elders as part of a sacred call to action, promoting increased cooperation and unity between diverse traditions. He is passionate about the inclusion of all lineages for healing and unification.

 

As the Founder & Spiritual Leader of Earth Peoples United, a non-profit dedicated to connecting people to the natural & spiritual worlds, Tat Erick nurtures a powerful international alliance of Earth Wisdom Keepers, and inspires many who are on a path of re-establishing their Earth Wisdom connection.

 

Through this incredible life journey, and in support of this vision, Tat Erick has created two truly unique spiritual sanctuaries: Patziapa in his home country of Guatemala, on the shores of Lake Atitlan, and the second, Deer Mountain Sanctuary north of Mt. Shasta, in Northern California – both are places of profound beauty, learning, and healing.

 

Tat Erick holds the vision of supporting and unifying sanctuaries such as these, all across our Mother Earth.
