The Sun Project is the expression of a spiritual consultation of the kággaba mámas from the Rio Ancho mountain basin, La Guajira, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia.

Through extensive consultation and internal dialogue held from the following Ezuamas (kággaba sacred sites) Kalabangaka, Ukumeiyi and Nabuwiyi ,the kággaba Original Nation aims to secure nine sacred pieces of land in order to manifest the Law of Origen Aluna Sé Mulkuaba Mukuakukui.

This law is translated as the eternal, internal law of order, interconnectedness and harmony behind the manifested nature. The maintenance of this is crucial for the sustainability and regeneration of the region both in the physical and spiritual sphere.

From this original law, the mámas have explained that the work of securing sacred sites in La Sierra must be seen as one living Golden Body, consisting of nine parts hence the importance of securing nine pieces of land.

While each land will have a specific function related to the original law and part of the body, it is the collective workings of these different lands that will bring forth the Golden Body (kaginiuba) as one single entity.

This unique approach to securing sacred land is not limited to soley the benefit of the kaggaba community of the Sierra. Rather it is the action of the kággaba nation for the well-being and flourishment of the entire Sierra Nevada region and the wider world.

OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES

Processes and underlying mechanisms of the Golden Body (Kaginiuba)

It is the deliberations and spiritual insights of the kággaba mámas which have instructed The Sun Project. It is the contribution given by the mámas to rethink how we approach land. It is a complete model that incorporates a deeper permanent kággaba spiritual work that upholds, connects, and sustains the entire region through the qualities of gold.

An attempt to explain the mechanisms of the golden body, it is by no means an exhaustive explanation, but rather a brief overview to be deliberated and expanded upon as The Sun Project evolves and as the Mámas bring further instruction.
