Honoring Ancient Traditions: The "Toltec Wisdom" Book Series
Toltec Wisdom series of books by Don Miguel Ruiz
We believe in rescuing and honoring our Indigenous Native American roots. As a Mexican national, Marisa attended the National School of Anthropology and History in Mexico City at the age of 17, where she was floored when first exposed to Indigenous knowledge, including Toltec philosophy. Soon after, Marisa discovered Don Miguel Ruiz’ The Four Agreements’ book; the first of the Toltec Wisdom series. In this book, the author reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. The book is a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives into a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love. Featured by Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres, don Miguel Ruiz’ book is a gift to humanity by simplifying complex Indigenous thought into practical steps for daily life.
Utilizing The Four Agreements in customized team training for customer service, communication skills, and even integrating Strengths, the Toltec Wisdom books have enabled Intercultural Talent to successfully integrate Indigenous ancient knowledge into the digital-era workplace. We empower global diverse teams with a combination of modern research-based tools and ancient knowledge, inclusive of diverse regions of the world.
Examples of Toltec Wisdom Workshops:
The Four Agreements for the Workplace

The Fifth Agreement - A Practical Guide to Self-Mastery

“There are three words that describe Marisa and her work: Impactful, Accurate, and Fun. Impactful because I could see a ‘before and after’ her training with the team. We really adopted the learnings and continue to benefit from them. She is attuned to individuals, as well as, dynamics and how these play in a team environment. This makes her incredibly accurate in training and development needs, and how to address them.”
