Manari Ushigua

Manari Ushigua is a traditional healer, spiritual guide, and leader of the Sapara Nation of the Ecuadorian Amazon. His life is dedicated to honoring the rainforest, safeguarding ancestral wisdom, and bridging the worlds of nature, spirit and modern awakening. Internationally recognized for his climate and Indigenous rights work, Manari co-founded the Naku Center — a sacred space within Sapara territory rooted in healing, cultural preservation and the living-economy of the forest. With a deep connection to the spirits of the forest and his lineage of elders, he guides seekers into remembering who they truly are and how they belong — to themselves, to community, and to Earth.
