Help me help The Path & Grandmother Flordemayo

Hi all,

I wanted to do something good and make the world a better place. When I found out that The Path is more than a place, it is a spiritual sanctuary, it is a place of prayer, it is a place for ceremony. We all have our own spiritual path. Your spiritual path is something that is very personal to yourself, regardless of what you believe in when it comes to everything else in life. ... For many, following a spiritual path is like searching for something that makes them complete. That is why Grandmother Flordemayo founded The Path. To be on a spiritual path means to live mindfully, paying attention to the signs along the road and being conscious of our mind, body, and spirit. To be on a spiritual path means to look inward as often as outward, knowing that the externals of our lives are reflections of our thoughts and words, manifestations of that which we are imagining and energizing into being with the fuel of our passion.

The Path is housed on a 40- acre piece of property in Estancia, New Mexico just east of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Estancia is translated as the “place of rest.” On the 40- acres are Flordemayo’s five sacred temples of humanity: The Temple of The Golden Child, The Water Temple, The Fire Temple, The Seed Temple and The Earth Temple. These sacred sites serve as places for ceremony, celebrations, group teachings, and beautiful reminders of our deep connection with Mother Earth.

The purpose of the Seed Temple is to preserve, propagate, and protect seeds of heritage, heirloom or endangered crop species and varieties for future generations. In the spirit of community service, these seeds will be shared so families can benefit from their goodness We are, as all of humanity is, at a crossroads. We are facing the loss of biodiversity at an unprecedented rate. Human migration is at an all-time high – 1 in 100 people are displaced from their homes for a variety of reasons including climate change.Heirloom seeds are our past and our future, taking many generations to diversify and cultivate.

Seed banks, like the one at The Path, are crucial for our very survival. They support our survival by: preserving crop diversity; protecting us from climate change; protecting us from natural disasters; mitigating disease in crops; providing seed material for research.The strength of any ecosystem is its biodiversity. Diversity creates resilience in living systems. When a broad range of genetic diversity is present in a popu- lation of living beings, such as plants or animals, these populations are better able to withstand the pressures of climatic change, pests, diseases, or other challenges.

Much of the diversity of seeds is being lost as fewer people are planting the original seeds, as modern agriculture has turned to genetically modified and patented seeds to produce our crops. The mission of The Path is to conserve and distribute seeds for future generations. This is met through seed conservation, education, and collaboration with other organizations. The seeds in the collection have come from numerous donations of samples of traditional varieties of corn, beans, squash, grains, vegetables, and herbs. The Seed Temple is designed as a controlled environment that protects the viability of the seeds stored. From the Seed Temple, many kinds of seeds from our collection have been sent to volunteers who have helped grow and increase them, to keep them strong and to provide a stock source to distribute to others.

Working to preserve these seeds gives us a sense of purpose and unity and fosters the relationships in community which are our true wealth.
