Catalyzing Peace With Nature
in the heart of the world
For Global Scale / Bioregional Regeneration, Peace Reconciliation, and mergence of modern day knowledge with millennia age consciousness
Pillars
Regenerative
Land Stewardship
Restoring degenerated lands,
protecting sacred waters,
and regenerating ecosystems.
An ancient blueprint,
already in motion.
A practice that honors
Earth as a sentient being
and safeguards
climate stability
for all life.
Indigenous governance
At the heart of regeneration,
is Ni’kuma, the territorial government of the
Four Original Peoples.
Ni'kuma's governance model
prioritizes ecological balance, respect for natural limits,
and cultural continuity.Unlike external conservation,
Indigenous governance is accountable, to both community and territory; ensuring decisions are rooted in reciprocity and long-term protection of the land.
Supporting this governance means strengthening a system that has preserved balance for millennia.
Sovereign Circular
Economic Development
True regeneration requires
economy to reward stewardship
rather than extraction.This incorporates, Indigenous-run initiatives,
such as regenerative coffee, cacao,
seed banks, nurseries, and
bioregional learning journeys.The Four Original Peoples are building sovereign income streams
that circulate benefits back into their communities and territories.These circular economies unite ecological restoration, cultural preservation,
and global markets.
Global Alliance for
Peace & Regeneration
The challenges facing the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta Bioregion, are global: climate instability, deforestation, and loss of one of the last intact ancestral knowledge based cultures, affect us all.The response must also be global. Ni'kuma and Sun Nation are building alliances that weave Indigenous wisdom with modern systems to create scalable solutions.By joining this alliance, you are helping establish Peace With Nature, a planetary commitment to regenerate ecosystems and cultures for future generations.
[SNSM] Regenerative Initiativeis being developed as an intercultural hub prototype that will serve as a living model where Indigenous wisdom and global regenerative practices meet.
2025 SNSM Regenerative Initiative
is the entry point into a bioregional ecosystem of projects led by Ni'kuma, the supreme authority of the four Indigenous Peoples of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta; the Arhuaco, Kogi, Wiwa, and Kankuamo. Together, they are recovering ancestral lands, regenerating ecosystems, and building circular economies rooted in their governance systems. This initiative opens the door for global allies to stand alongside them in safeguarding the Heart of the World and advancing a planetary vision of Peace With Nature.
The 2025 Initiative lays the initial foundation for a $1.6M–$200M regenerative proposition for a holistic model to regenerate the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, with goal to become a global prototype for Peace With Nature that can be replicated worldwide through exemplified frameworks.

Bioregion
The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is the “Heart of the World” because it functions as the main planetary regulator.Its glaciers, rivers, and forests sustain millions of lives downstream, as well as maintains the health and vital function of the Caribbean Sea and connected coastlines.The Four Indigenous Peoples are guardians of this balance, with a mandate to care for the Earth’s cycles.
Laying The Foundation: Phase 1 Projects
Peace Village
The Peace Village is an intercultural hub of cultural osmosis; serving as a living model where Indigenous wisdom and global regenerative practices meet.The project reclaims ~177 acres, stewarded by the people of Gunkeruwan Geken, in the Arhuaco Territory.This community of over 200 Arhuaco familes, who have brought peace to the area, are inviting you to co-construct a new village with them.The Peace Village is the first tangible anchor point of the collective vision for regenerating the SNSM bioregion.This site stewards Bisikungwy Mountain which contains more than 500 natural springs.
