Grandmother OilThe Grandmother oil comes from the Grandmother plant. It is a sacred plant. The Grandmothers told me that the reason it is called a Grandmother plant is because it is one of the original plants that taught all the other plants their medicine. When we need teaching and guidance, we think of elders and wisdom. The Grandmother plant is the source we want and need in order to come into this wisdom. As we use the plant, it starts moving through us at a cellular level which helps release and restructure our light bodies.”

Audio CDFlordemayo is a master story teller. Join her on this journey through the First Three Cycles of her life. The CD spans four decades of her life beginning with childhood. She grew up in Nicaragua, learning at the apron strings of her mother, a renowned Curandera. During Flordemayo’s adolescence, her mother moved the family to New York City where Flordemayo learned to speak English and began her own spiritual journey as a healer. The CD chronicles her life until she met her Mayan Teacher while living in Upstate New York in her early thirties.
ABOUT FLORDEMAYO
Born the youngest of 15 children in the highlands of Central America, Flordemayo was found at an early age – like others in her family – to have the gift of Sight. By age four, she was being trained in the art of curanderismo which had been handed down from mother to daughter for many generations. Flordemayo’s mother was a midwife and healer and taught her daughters in the use of herbs, women’s medicine and how women are to honor and
care for the Earth.
Flordemayo now lives in New Mexico. She is a frequent presenter at international conferences. Since 1999, she has been part of the Wisdom of the Grandmothers’ Foundation. She is the recipient of the Martin de La Cruz Award for Alternative Healing, a prestigious honor given by the International Congress of Traditional Medicine. Flordemayo is also a founding director of the Institute for Natural and Traditional Knowledge. This organization has many active projects, including the establisment of an organic seed bank and educational outreach in support of traditional agriculture.
“Humanity is at a crossroads, we can only go one way, as one can’t go in two directions at the same time. We do not know what we need to do as a human species, there is only one place to go and that is into the light, as one tribe”.
"We,
the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, represent
a global alliance of prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth,
all Her inhabitants, all the children, and for the next seven generations
to come. We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction
of our Mother Earth and the destruction of indigenous ways of life.
We believe the teachings of our ancestors will light our way through
an uncertain future. We look to further our vision through the realization
of projects that protect our diverse cultures: lands, medicines, language
and ceremonial ways of prayer and through projects that educate and
nurture our children." www.grandmotherscouncil.com
