It all began with a journey from which I never truly returned. This experience unveiled the profound essence of life's path.
"Lost Connections" explores the deep bond between humans and nature, and how this connection shapes our lives.
By studying the Mayan in Guatemala, the Andean in Peru, and the Lakota in Mexico, we uncover ways to strengthen our connection with nature and ourselves.
Join us to learn from these ancient cultures and restore our vital relationship with the natural world.

In November 2023, self-shooting director Valentina Catenacci traveled to San Cristobal de Las Casas, Mexico, to interview Catherine, a key figure in holistic living.
Over a three-hour dialogue, Catherine discussed essential topics and offered advice on deepening connections with nature and oneself.
This interview is a rich resource of insights and wisdom, aiming to inspire those seeking a more profound relationship with the environment and their inner selves.
Izaias Sajvin Mendoza, born in San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala, began working for Keith's Cacao as a gardener at 14. His interest in religions and cultures grew despite studying computers and accounting, fueled by a prophetic dream revealing his grandfather was a Shaman.
Following years of searching for his purpose, Izaias answered the call to serve as a Shaman. At 21, he married Izabel, meeting the traditional requirement to become a healer. Initiated as a Fire Shaman, he now conducts Cacao and Fire Ceremonies and performs Mayan calendar readings, honoring his ancestral traditions.

MAYAN SHAMAN CACAO AND SACRED FIRE CEREMONIES
In April 2024. filmmaker Valentina Catenacci traveled to San Marcos La Laguna to document a Mayan fire ceremony, where she met Izaias. He introduced her to the Mayan calendar's intricacies and ceremonial traditions, especially the use of cacao and sacred fire.
For the first time, Valentina participated in and filmed a sacred Mayan fire ceremony. The insights she gained from Izaias offered practical tips on living harmoniously and cultivating a sacred fire at home rooted in love and meaning.
This interview marked a pivotal moment in Valentina's documentary, highlighting the importance of giving ancient cultures a voice and learning how they can teach us to connect deeply with nature and ourselves.
