empowerment through textile art - we are a movement.
 

CieloTierra means "Sky and Earth" – a name that reflects the profound connection between the cosmos and the land, inspired by the Mayan Cosmovision.

Rooted in the meeting of two worlds – the heart of Guatemala and the spirit of Austria – our brand honors cultural heritage, spiritual symbolism, and mindful artisanship.

Each handmade piece tells a story – woven with intention, tradition, and the vibrant patterns of a people whose roots reach deep into the fabric of the universe.

​

Mission & Vision
 

A movement for conscious consumers who seek ethically crafted, soulful pieces that transcend the ordinary and challenge the norms of mass-produced fashion.

Each creation carries energy, intention, and a story.

​

At Cielo Tierra, we create more than just wearable stories — we weave meaning, memory, and the essence of the Mayan Cosmovision into every piece. Each creation holds sacred symbolism, mirroring the balance of the cosmos - between the sky and the earth, ancient wisdom and modern expression.

 

We walk hand in hand with Guatemalan women artisans, honouring their ancestral knowledge and supporting their creative independence. By nurturing fair, respectful relationships, we support local women in crafting opportunities for growth, creativity, and shared purpose.

 

Our collections are more than fashion — they are vessels of connection. A bridge.

Between worlds. Between cultures. Between hearts.

 

With every piece, we invite a deeper appreciation of Mayan wisdom and an invitation to walk gently and consciously through the world.​
 

Our mission is to empower these artisans by providing dignified, sustainable work that values creativity and culture equally. Every piece is a testament to their skill, passion, and spirit.

​

Now, we are taking the next step.

​

To bring this vision to life, we are seeking values-aligned investors to join

us at this pivotal stage.
With your support, we can take the next step — expanding our collection, growing our impact, and providing more consistent opportunities to the women we work with. This journey begins with creating meaningful, ethical clothing — and leads toward a greater dream: establishing a dedicated Artisan Center for Women in Guatemala.

A space for creativity, cultural preservation, education, and empowerment.

​

Together, we can build something truly transformative — starting with fashion, and reaching far beyond.

Project Kene Xobo Arts & Cultural Center in the Peruvian Amazon

​

Deep in the Peruvian Amazon, in the Shipibo community of San Francisco, the Kene Xobo Arts & Cultural Center is growing into a vibrant space for women weavers, cultural preservation, and environmental regeneration. After completing the main building in Phase 1, the project now moves into its second phase:

finishing the center, reforesting two hectares of surrounding land, and creating a living pharmacy of traditional Amazonian medicinal plants.

​

Led by Shipibo women artisans, the center is more than just a physical space—it’s a cultural heartbeat. It provides economic support through the sale of traditional handicrafts and invites visitors to experience weaving, natural dye techniques, plant-based healing, and Shipibo cosmology in immersive, respectful ways.

Importantly, the project shifts focus away from extractive ayahuasca tourism and toward a deeper understanding of Shipibo culture, art, and ecological wisdom.

​

By supporting this initiative, we help preserve endangered traditions, regenerate the rainforest, and create sustainable futures for Indigenous women and their families.
