When he met Mamo Luca, a Kogui Wisdom Keeper from Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. In Raquira, Boyaca, (Muisca village), he began the research and practice of the Spiral Matrix, a methodology for the development of the self, and then the Double Spiral Matrix as pedagogy for the integration and synthesis of the Occidental world with the Ancestral.
He has worked in both worlds, studying the experience of communicating to the western world the technologies of being and the approach to the native world. He has developed the epistemology of the ancestral native world. He received training as a new hummingbird spiritual guide, growing between urban and rural. This gives him the ability to generate sources of communication between the two cultures.
In the western world phenomenological shamanism and ritual ceremonies are widely known, but the deep technologies from the indigenous world that highlights a technology of being are unknown. These technologies seeks to transmit to the western world the synthesis of the ancestral world in the Spiral Matrix. The indigenous world does this by constructing an elemental model that allows us to see the basic human dimensions necessary to find our full realization. This is manifested with the possibility of harmonizing with the Other in communion, and also the capacity to merge centers with all others, while in the natural order.

Life is a relational fabric, all the time we move in relationships and not paying attention to them leads us to states of lack and illness. The proposal contains the ancestral model in a practical way that any human being can understand and apply. Our challenge is to overcome the current view of indigenous peoples, which sometimes reduces it to extra sensorial phenomena, and bring it to a basic and fundamental order that will improve the human condition.
Beyond an Intercultural experience we invite you to have a Zewa-cultural experience. A dialogue, between the original knowledge and the modern world, where the ancestral wisdom resurges with purposeful strength in the new cultural vanguard. The cultural agreement (Zewa-culturality) is not a theory. It is an experience, an action of exploring, investigating, living, and uniting words to co-create a new word.
We are weaving worlds into a new world.
Luis Antonio Daza Cardenas
“By unfolding a space in which to rethink our very thoughts, we can look inward to enable the communication with the other. We are calling to know ourselves by looking through the other as a point of reference. In this way we can experience that the principle of identity is defined and founded on relationships.”
Muisca elder Hate Kulchavita
