Andean cosmovision
Andean cosmovision is a perspective held by indigenous peoples of the Andes region, emphasizing a holistic connection between humans, nature, and the cosmos. It views the world as a dynamic interplay of life forces, where mountains, rivers, and animals are considered sacred. This worldview promotes harmony, balance, and reciprocity, suggesting that humans should live in respectful relationship with their environment, acknowledging the spiritual essence in all beings. Practices like traditional rituals and agricultural methods reflect this belief in nurturing the earth and maintaining equilibrium within the community and with the natural world.
