Dr. Anita Sanchez
DR. ANITA SANCHEZ is a powerful visionary business consultant of Mexican American and Aztec heritage who has woven her knowledge of indigenous wisdom, business, and science into her global consulting and training work with world and corporate leaders for more than four decades.
A member of the Transformational Leadership Council, the Pachamama Alliance and Bioneers, she is the best selling author of The Four Sacred
Gifts: Indigenous Wisdom for Modern times, in which she reveals the prophecy entrusted to her by a global collective of indigenous elders – 4 Guiding Gifts that can help us remember the power of unity, guide us to transformation and wholeness, and enable us to live in deeper harmony with all of humanity. The Four Sacred Gifts recounts the story of The Eagle Hoop Prophecy, based on Mohican Don Coyhis’s dream of a sacred hoop surrounded by eagle feathers. The Elders believe this vision is a sign that the time has come for all peoples to come together as one.
