SUMMER KIVA
Spain - Vizkaya
August 20 to 23, 2026
For the past two years, we have been waiting for the most familial Kiva, the Kiva that has been creating its spiritual spiral throughout Europe... our beautiful Summer Kiva.
From 2012 to this year, 2026, we have witnessed the birth of a brotherhood of beings who, year after year, continue to grow while embracing the same dream; where borders have been left behind and we have supported one another through the power of a fire 🔥 that unites us, that sees everyone in the same way: as human beings journeying through this space-time upon our Mother Earth, healing those divisions we once imagined.
But of course, it has not been easy.
Year after year, new challenges arise for our ceremony. The fire and the August heat, becoming more and more intense during the European summer, have led us on a deeper and more persistent search for places where we can light our fire and continue our prayer.
For this reason, our Kiva is changing location. We are leaving the land in Cantabria and arriving at a new sacred space in Vizcaya, in the north of Spain 🇪🇸, where we welcome you with open hearts to continue this prayer together—a prayer that has blessed our lives for so many years.
💧 In this Kiva, we will pray for Water.
We will carry out our spiritual work together as one family, offering our prayers through the element that gives life to our Mother Earth.
We invite you to bring water from your river, lake, ocean, spring, or from your own home, to place it on the main altar and unite it with the waters carried from other places and other hearts.
✨ The Kiva is a family coming together.
If you have never participated before, this may be a beautiful moment to come closer, discover our prayer, and walk this path with us.
We look forward to welcoming you in our new home, in Vizcaya, to light the fire together once again. 🔥
I love you and I honor you.

Director of Roots of the Earth
Come with your family, friends, and the best intentions to spend a few incredible days in this beautiful valley between mountains and a crystal-clear river. Together we will share interactive ancestral knowledge workshops, talks, and meals among friends, and above all, continue this beautiful summer prayer of our Kiva for the peoples of Europe. Little by little, it brings together those who, even in the midst of so much hostility in the world, are searching for a refuge where faith and love can be planted, accompanied by the many different energies and gifts that Mother Earth offers us.
Four days of ceremony, prayer, and shared life, guided by the fire of Raíces de la Tierra. A time outside of time, to return to what is essential: relationship, connection, and mutual care.

Special Gift for the First 50 Registrations
In addition, this year we will begin with a beautiful gift. The first 50 people who join through the Early Bird contribution will automatically receive one of the first 50 raffle numbers and be entered into the traditional drawing for our MEDICINE DRUM.
The drum has been painted by our brother and artist Ariel Navia, who is well known for his beautiful works of art. So be sure to register early and become one of the first 50 participants in our Kiva de Verano.
We will continue to keep you informed about all the spiritual workshops that will be offered during our Kiva. We look forward to welcoming you and your family. Come with your children, who are the future and the spiritual magic that our humanity needs so deeply.
For All Our Relations
