Since his early childhood, Tat Erick Gonzalez has received profound and sustained healing from the indigenous medicine of Guatemala. As a small boy, carried by his grandmother to tribal healers for treatments, he formed an early and lifelong connection to the natural and spiritual forces that would guide his astonishing earth walk. Within the traditional indigenous circles and the native people of the Maya, Tat Erick carries the responsibility of an Aj Q’ij and Kamal Bey (Spiritual Leader, Teacher and Earth Wisdom Keeper). Over a thirty-year period, Tat Erick traveled with, trained under, and was initiated by spiritual Elders from México, Colombia, Peru, Guatemala and throughout North America. And he has been blessed with a truly unique connection to the sacred guidance which comes directly from Spirit. Without hesitation as a youth, Tat Erick participated in Native movements in an effort to protect sacred lands, the heartbeat and essence of the indigenous ways. And in subsequent years, he dedicated himself to serving communities in re-establishing their traditional ways, keeping them alive and flourishing for future generations. Through the years and with an unwavering conviction, Tat Erick has participated in Indigenous Councils throughout the Americas, gathering tribal Elders and part of a sacred call to action, promoting increased cooperation and unity between diverse traditions. He is passionate about the inclusion of all lineages for healing and unification. As the Founder & Spiritual Leader of Earth Peoples United, Tat Erick nurtures a powerful international alliance of Earth Wisdom Keepers, and inspires many who are on a path of re-establishing their Earth Wisdom connection. Through this incredible life journey, and in support of this vision, Tat Erick has created two truly unique spiritual sanctuaries: one in his home country of Guatemala, on the shores of Lake Atitlan, and the second, north of Mt. Shasta, in Northern California – both are places of profound beauty, learning, and healing. Tat Erick holds the vision of supporting and unifying sanctuaries such as these, all across our Mother Earth. Today, Tat Erick continues to teach, heal, and lead ceremonies. His inspiration comes from ceremonial instructions to support the transformation and unification of humanity through the sharing of knowledge that comes from “the Original Instructions”: those instructions left by Creator, for all of life to follow, in order to live in balance and harmony with all of creation. Currently Tat Erick lives in Northern California with his wife (and partner), and spends part of the year in Guatemala. He has five children and four grandchildren.
