Our Inspiration
"Munay" Is a word from the Quecha, an indigenous dialect from South America. The Munay Foundation has devoted its activities to the “Munay-Ki”. “Munay” stands on one hand for love and on the other for our will power. “Ki” stands for energy. Munay-Ki, therefore, does not only stand for the power of love, but also reminds us that we are celebrating active participation in love whenever we experience or give it. The deeper meaning of Munay-Ki could be interpreted as follows: Whenever we are committed from the bottom of our heart to give love and do good deeds, we will also observe that love and good deeds find their way to us and to the world.
We currently support the following projects:
AYAMIRA
nature conservation
OCEAN CLEANUP
plastic garbage
GREENPEACE

Haiko Nitschke receives the Munay Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award
In 2017, at age 70, Haiko Nitschke is honored for his work. He is the pioneer of the vision quest movement in the German-speaking world. The Vision Quest is a very old and widely used method of the search for meaning and self-healing in all cultures of the world. ‘Go into the wilderness, bless yourself and learn.’ With this invitation, for example, North American Indians have been sent to a vision search at turning points in their lives. The goal of this journey into the outer and inner loneliness is the examination of the eternal cycle of life and death. It makes it possible to reconnect with life, to recognize the meaning of one’s own existence and to find its own personal task of life.
Since 1992, he has supervised vision search groups. Between 1997 and 2015 he also conducted training in
visionquest management and one-year pedagogical trainings in initiatory natural experience. In 1997
Haiko Nitschke founded “ÖKOSYS Institute for Ecological Systemic Education” (www.oekosys.org) and
chaired it for nine years. He was also a staff member of the American School of Lost Borders,
and a board member and member of the Elder Council of the WGC Wilderness Guides Council.
