First ascent wearing boots, Samuel Bautista Lazo in 2018. Thanks @t.eaglewoman for showing me the best spots and sacred places of your native land 💑💘💕 and thanks for capturing such stylish achievement 😉 Can't wait to be back!! #MidnightLightning is a bouldering problem on the Columbia Boulder in Camp 4 of #Yosemite #NationalPark. It has been described as the world's most famous #bouldering problem. The first ascent was by Ron Kauk in 1978; the first female ascent was by Lynn Hill in 1998. #travel #instatravel #instatraveling #travelgram #wanderlust #vagabond #grandtour #mochileando #lifestyle #zapotec #zapotecweaver #sf #sanfrancisco #california #usa #tour (at Yosemite National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsqU0Tvlp69/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=83kbmyehacsi

Our friend @abra_ca_dabra_ throwing her first shuttle passes and learning how to make the #smile pattern. The smile is woven to remind us that smiling and laughing is the source of all healing, a lot of the rituals and remedies that healers use are helping us to uplift our spirit so that our bodies can take over and heal itself. We now know though science that smiling and laughing releases a cocktail of beneficial hormones and chemicals for our body. The smile patter is obtained by throwing the shuttle in an alternate way, in this case, one yellow and one red; but mind you, there is a little trick for this to work and achieve a smooth edge. Sign up for a weaving class with us and learn how to make this and other patterns. Classes all year round 11am to 6pm, all materials and tools included. One hour break. Cost 1,200 pesos per person, per day. *Prices and availability subject to change. DM to inquire availability. www.dixza.com #dixzarugsandorganicfarm #dixzarugs #organicfarming #organicfarm #dixza #zapotecweavers #zapotecrugs #zapotecweavers  #airbnb #airbnbhost #instatravel #instatraveling #travel #travelgram #wanderlust #Oaxaca #México #pueblosmagicos #mexicoandando #instameetoaxaca #igersoaxaca #igers_oaxaca (at Dixza Rugs & Organic Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bso1T0sHf7x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yaip1sxv7pl0

My mom #LeonorLazoGonzalez teaching how to wind bobbins to use in the #shuttle for a #weavingclass. The bobbin has to be wound evenly and tightly so that the #threads don't unravel as we are #weaving; having a perfectly wound spool is key to smooth weaving. This activity is one of the first things we learn to do at a young age, a lot of young boys will help their parents and uncles to wind up their bobbins. Helping out experienced weavers allow young kids to learn and pick up weaving tips and techniques from the #masterweavers. I see it like it happens in Japanese sushi making tradition, you spend a lot of time #winding bobbins before you can be taught how to weave symbols and patterns. #dixzarugsandorganicfarm #dixzarugs #organicfarming #organicfarm #dixza #zapotecweavers #zapotecrugs #zapotecweavers  #airbnb #airbnbhost #instatravel #instatraveling #travel #travelgram #wanderlust #Oaxaca #México #pueblosmagicos #mexicoandando #instameetoaxaca #igersoaxaca #igers_oaxaca (at Dixza Rugs & Organic Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsozWWMHsiR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=btgfxskz8u84

So with the increased demand for Mezcal a lot of local farmers are switching to growing agave in a monoculture set up... we know what happens to monocultures... (at Teotitlán del Valle) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsmTml9HEor/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w4zes68vxdof

My mom teaching a #tortilla making class using #native #heirloom #corn. Whenever my mom is teaching it is always a good opportunity for me to practice my cooking skills. Due to the farm work and traditional division of labor I don't spend enough time cooking or learning to cook traditional foods. Book a stay in our #Airbnb and wake up to a morning making tortillas for breakfast. Or just message us and book a traditional Zapotec cooking class any time during the week. #dixzarugsandorganicfarm #dixzarugs #organicfarming #organicfarm #dixza #zapotecweavers #zapotecrugs #bohostyle #tribal #indigenous #weaversofinstagram #interiordesign #slowcraft  #teotitlandelvalle #instatravel #instatraveling #travel #travelgram #wanderlust #Oaxaca #Mexico  (at Dixza Rugs & Organic Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsi98B9nM8j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wlg6p4r091vk

Shniíss Shíish - Chepil soup - Caldo de Chepil Chepil leaves and squash. Boil and eat, simple. Make a good salsa to dress and add a squirt a little lime juice. Add a little pinch of salt. Enjoy. #Mexicanfoodmadeeasy Eat with tortillas and use it as a spoon. Shíishh (Dishzaā, Zapotec) - CHEPÍL - Crotalaria longirostrata. Eat your wild foods but help them spread too, give back more than you take. Replant, re-seed; our ecosystems are in a delicate state, pick responsibly. If you don't know, observe, research, ask around. Our granny at #saskatooncircle really made a point about helping wild berries spread. Bury some stems, help them root and replant little new plants for your self and other living creatures. The plant depicted here is Chepil, the leaves are high in Iron, Magnesium, and betacarotene. Medicinales Usos Medicinales (según wikipedia ;-) ) El cocimiento de las hojas se usa por vía oral para el tratamiento de blenorragia, insomnio y reumatismo. Por vía tópica, el cocimiento de tallos y frutos se usa para lavados. El zumo de la planta cruda se aplica como cataplasmas y emplastos para la curación de heridas en corto tiempo. La decocción de la raíz se usa para tratar pacientes con alcoholismo e insomnio. A las hojas se le atribuyen propiedades hipnóticas, mineralizante, narcótica, purgante y vomitiva.

Two piles of corn. Dos montones de Mazorca. Tiop leat riî niîs (Dishzaā) Three ways of saying the same thing, each with it's own connotations and subtlelties. We are planning to export over a maximum of 20% of our native-corn production... give us a shout if you are interested in including #native #organic #corn into your #restaurant food menu. #dixzarugsandorganicfarm #dixzarugs #organicfarming #organicfarm #dixza #zapotecweavers #zapotecrugs #bohostyle #tribal #indigenous #weaversofinstagram #interiordesign #slowcraft  #teotitlandelvalle #instatravel #instatraveling #travel #travelgram #wanderlust #Oaxaca #México https://www.instagram.com/p/BshKJRyHovI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dtf7p9foliv4

The angle at which these #cacti #flowers tilt is used as a prediction for the amount of rainfall that will happen during the year. I heard an etnobitanist/anthropologist doing research with indigenous tribes in Brazil to measure the accuracy of the predictions of rain prophets using these kinds of observations, their success rate is 85 to 99% compared with a 60 to 80% of modern weather forecasts. It is time to remember and value the ancient knowledge preserved by indigenous people around the world, and it is important not to exploit that knowledge without consent and without retribution. Even if there are no specific laws to protect indigenous intellectual property, our indigenous knowledge deserves to be protected in the same way. #dixzarugsandorganicfarm #dixzarugs #organicfarming #organicfarm #dixza #zapotecweavers #zapotecrugs #bohostyle #tribal #indigenous #weaversofinstagram #interiordesign #slowcraft  #teotitlandelvalle #instatravel #instatraveling #travel #travelgram #wanderlust #Oaxaca #México  (at Teotitlán del Valle) https://www.instagram.com/p/BscEyyknDJk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k3muux2n3o50
