Serene Dawn - Healing Earth - A woman's journey with the Kogi Indians of Colombia
by Sarena Webb
“Save our Mother Earth!” That is the plea of the remaining descendants of an ancient South American tribe, Colombia’s Kogi Indians from their dying mountain range – the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Serene Dawn is the true story of a solo woman traveller in one of the most dangerous travel destinations in the world- the coastal mountains of Caribbean Colombia. Her search is for answers and understanding a chaotic world. Her path takes her through the treacherous and beautiful mountains that is the home of the Kogi Indians. After being robbed by her guide a Kogi Shaman adopts her and teaches her another way of life. Along the way she experiences drug territories and war zones to the other extreme of indigenous knowledge and prophecy of the current times. Sometimes sad, funny and exciting - but always profound - it is a moving account of a searching soul fulfilling dreams despite the odds. It is a must read for those who question human-kind’s existence and the deterioration of the planet.
