The lands around the place called 'La Realidad' are incredibly rich in ecological and cultural diversity, but are also cursed by the abundance of natural resources. The subsequent expropriation and persecution by the neo-liberal policies of the state and multinationals, have awakened a resistance and an uprising.

This is a movement of radical hope for the possibility to build a world where many worlds coexist. Such a movement began beyond the nation-state narratives, sprouted from ancestral memories from the collective dreams of the communities in the mountains of Chiapas, Southeast of what we now call Mexico. These communities are Mayan, Tojolabal, Tzotzil, Tzetal, Chol and Mam, people who have not yet forgotten Earth-knowledges, who are preserving their ancestral memories against the oblivion of the current system. They had first raised their voice publicly in January 1994, and ever since has been a great inspiration for pursuing an alternative relation to the Earth as re-existence in autonomy and in defence for Life.

In 2017 Weaving Realities made the first contact with La Realidad to bring ancestral cacao from this land. Till now we continue to weave solidarity.
