The Yraceburu Story
Our history takes us as far back as the Yraceburu family lineage founded in the Apache tlish diyan. We trace our mission from the time of Nochaydelklinne, the Apache Dreamer who foretold this time, to his niece Naylin Lage, a healer of extraordinary capabilities, who passed these ways and teachings to her son Juan Ten Bears Yraceburu, a HolyOne who spoke eloquently for peace, and finally to his granddaughter Maria Yraceburu. All of this will continue to those of us who have gathered in the continuance of a life philosophy that is inclusive of All Our Relations.
We saw firsthand the positive impact a traditional indigenous approach to life had on those few who were fortunate enough to experience it. Finding a way to ensure that individuals had access to this special connection became our objective. We pooled their enthusiasm and resources in our extended family, and what began as an idea became a wonderful reality when the pilot program launched in 1972. Following years of programing, we finally recruited our Council of Advisors... , and applied to become a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Yraceburu EarthWisdom is completely run by volunteers, with diiyin Maria Yraceburu acting as Spiritual Director. Since its humble beginning, as Yraceburu EarthWisdom has continued to evolve, we have remained true to our original belief: All people, regardless of background, can benefit from connection to Earth.

LEAHROSE FARBER
All the visions of LeahRose Farber, grounded in Yraceburu EarthWisdom, are amazing. The interaction of her ‘new style’ spirit with the ancient teachings she receive in SpiralDancing Life gave rise to the rich and natural diversity of The Global Turn On, from California to Europe and beyond, this global women's movement remains ‘fixed’, as opposed to artificial which fades relatively quickly in the revelation of integrity. Great skill is required by a master tracker to achieve consistency of earth teachings from ritual to sisterhood.
