http://www.peyotepeople.com/ -- Huichol Indian Folk Art and Artifacts

Deep in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Western Mexico live the Huichol Indians. Very little is known about the exact origins of the Huichol, but today they are clinging to a set of customs and beliefs that make them one of the best preserved Pre-Columbian tribes in the Western Hemisphere.

Peyote People is a fair trade co-operative based in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico that provides most of the carvings to our artists as well as new iridescent glass beads that are imported exclusively by us into Mexico for our artists to use in their art. We have been recognized by the Huichol Indian Traditional Government of San Andres Cohamaita for not only promoting their artwork but also for our commitment to the preservation of their customs and traditions through what we call CULTURAL AUTHENTICITY...

The Huichol Center - handcrafted art that makes a change in the world

The Huichol Center supports the continuance of Huichol native traditions by fortifying their culture with community based economic solutions that promote self-sufficiency and self-determination. Check out their online store www.beadsofbeauty.net for handcrafted beaded jewelry made by the Huichol people of Mexico.

Centers, Organizations, Practitioners:

The Center for Attitudinal Healing was founded in 1975 by Dr. Gerald Jampolsky and is based upon the following Principles:

The essence of our being is love.
Health is inner peace. Healing is letting go of fear.
Giving and receiving are the same.
We can let go of the past and the future.
Now is the only time there is and each instant is for giving.
We can learn to love ourselves and others by forgiving rather than judging.
We can become love finders rather than fault finders.
We can choose and direct ourselves to be peaceful inside regardless of what is happening outside.
We are students and teachers to each other.
We can focus on the whole of life rather than the fragments.
Since love is eternal death need not be viewed as fearful.
We can always perceive ourselves and others as either extending love or giving a call for help.

The Center's Website offers information on the work and services it conducts, its philosophy about love, a bookstore, and information on other centers around the world. This is a "must visit" site to all those interested in Tomás' work.
