How it began,
We are a project initiative under the A.C. nonprofit CreSer, a community-based organization built on the belief that everyone deserves access to food, education, and connection. CreSer provides food assistance, job opportunities, education, and training workshops to inspire collaboration in ending chronic child malnutrition, kidney disease, and the abandonment of indigenous lands due to lack of opportunity.We aim to ensure independence for indigenous communities in the northeast Lake Chapala area through education and resource support, promoting conscious community development. You can visit the CreSer site here.
Our Mission and Vision
This program helps children connect with their natural environment and their cultural roots. Through the guidance of symbolic guardians from the ancient Mexican worldview, children explore the elements and sacred spaces of nature. These experiences awaken their creativity, a sense of responsibility, and a desire to care for the environment and each-other.
The School of the Flowering Warriors was created specifically for the indigenous children of this community. We believe that children shape the future—and this program is designed to honor, uplift, and empower them through cultural re-connection, creativity, and care for the land.
1.Art in Motion
This sphere focuses on nurturing creativity, literacy, and cultural identity through dynamic, hands-on learning experiences. Our Library and Art Room serves as a vibrant hub where children engage with stories, artistic expression, and nature-based learning.
Through this sphere, we aim to:
Promote a love for reading and ongoing education
Revitalize cultural traditions and creative expression within communities
Foster artistic exploration through drawing, painting, poetry, and sculpture
Encourage environmental awareness through local garden initiates and classes offered by our wonderful teachers.
Support meaningful connection through clay, paper mâché, beadwork workshops and more
By providing accessible educational tools and guided creative spaces, this axis empowers children to develop their full artistic and personal potential—all while deepening their connection to community and culture.
Our method is structured around two main pillars: the Four Spheres—our axis of action—and the acknowledgment of the Fundamental Guardians, archetypes representing Femininity and Masculinity.
The 4 Sphere's
2.Sacred Routes
3.Regenerative Agriculture
4.Language & Sound
This sphere focuses on reactivating ancestral trails and sacred landscapes through immersive excursions in the mountains, hills, and lagoon regions. These guided experiences invite children and participants to re-inhabit the land—to walk the paths of their ancestors, deepen their bond with nature, and awaken cultural memory.
Through this axis, we:
Explore sacred sites and natural wonders through hiking and island excursions
Visit ancient caves, including those with some of the oldest cave paintings in Western Mexico
Follow the paths marked by ancient petroglyphs and petroengravings
Walk beneath and around the iconic “Tree of a Thousand Roots,” a symbol of interconnection
Journey to the ceremonial islands of Mezcala and their ancient temples: Tlaquetepeque and Techilenge
Honor the Nola Sacred Stone, associated with rains and seasonal cycles
This axis is about restoring reverence for place—inviting participants to experience the land not just as geography, but as a living archive of history, spirit, and belonging.
This sphere offers a living classroom to relearn, revive, and share traditional and regenerative farming practices—rooted in the wisdom of the land and focused on nourishing both people and planet.
We cultivate spaces that:
Foster food sovereignty for all
Provide nutrient-rich, locally grown foods that support wellness and help prevent conditions like kidney disease
Maintain a community-accessible Seed Bank preserving native and heirloom varieties
Encourage the creation of botanical gardens and experimental growing spaces
This initiative reconnects children and families to ancestral practices, encourages hands-in-the-soil learning, and promotes a return to native plants and holistic well-being—honoring the land as both a healer and a teacher.
This sphere invites children and families to reconnect with ancestral wisdom through music, poetry, and Indigenous language.
Workshops focus on:
Singing, rhythm, and poetry, fostering expression and storytelling
Creating pre-Hispanic instruments like flutes, ocarinas, rattles, and drums using natural materials such as clay, bamboo, and wood
Reviving the Nahuatl language, supporting the intergenerational transmission of sacred linguistic knowledge
These experiences nurture a deep connection to cultural memory, amplify the voices of heritage, and celebrate the sacred resonance of sound and language as tools of collective healing and identity.
Our Method
Why this is important
The Spheres of Action are more than educational activities—they are pathways to reclaim identity, restore dignity, and regenerate cultural memory among Indigenous children and their communities.
In many Native villages of Mexico, colonization and poverty have interrupted the transmission of ancestral knowledge. Through these immersive experiences—working with the land, speaking ancestral languages, creating art, and walking sacred routes—the children reconnect with who they are and where they come from.
This isn't just about preservation; it's about empowerment. When a child learns to farm regeneratively, sing in their ancestral language, or recognize sacred symbols in their landscape, they step into a deeper sense of belonging and purpose. They begin to see themselves as guardians of a rich cultural legacy.
Your support helps us keep these practices alive—and pass them on to the next generation.
