    UYWANAKUY YAKU MAMA

    Walking the Memory of the Water
  • June 10th - 13th, 2026

    @ Lost Valley Education Center in Dexter, Oregon

  • Uywanakuy (mutually upraising) Yaku (Water) Mama (Mother) is a journey into deeper relationship with our watersheds, communities, and the streams of memory that show us how to care for and celebrate life.

    In this co-creative gathering and participatory container, we will apply land-based skills and tools for regenerating soils and ecoystems as we grow in our relationship to place, culture, and each other.

    We will collaborate with Andean-Amazonian lineage keepers in inviting the recuperation of ancestral seeds of knowledge and art: place-based stewardship, stories, songs and dances, resilient food ways, pilgrimage, medicine, and more. We will engage in cultural cross-pollination and dialogue on multiple scales, offering space for local and bioregional alliances to form through this collaborative effort for the mutual upraising of life-sustaining systems and waterways.

    As people of place, we aim to facilitate more connective, rooted and resilient individuals, communities, and watersheds. This is co-creation for the sake of world renewal, peacemaking, and the seventh generation coming. This is practice for cross-cultural pollination, diplomacy, and community organizing. This is art for the sake of joyful hearts, healthy minds, and working hands ⎯ for living soil and fresh clean water!

  •  Tiered Pricing

    We use a tiered pricing model to make our programs accessible while also sustaining and regenerating our community. Please choose the tier that best fits your financial capacity:

    Community Supported: $330
    This tier is offered in recognition that our dominant economic system often neglects to provide a living wage to those of us who are most deeply invested in the service of our communities. We want to affirm that we are all in this together and continue to provide accessible quality education offerings to all those who are truly dedicated to the path of mutual upliftment.

    Community Sustaining: $450
    This tier provides a more equitable exchange of financial support for the teachers and organizers of this opportunity, and covers most basic institutional costs of operation of Lost Valley.

    Community Regenerative: $700
    This tier helps support our staff and teachers, increases total donations to ecological projects both North & South, and helps to cover the cost for economically marginalized participants. We are deeply grateful for any additional financial support to help us further our mission and goals!

    Tent camping + lunches and dinners are provided.
    We have limited dorm rooms available for an additional fee (booked separately).
