Leonor

Leonor is a 60-year-old Achuar elder and single mother of two, embodying the strength and resilience of a true warrior woman. Having faced life’s challenges on her own, she has carved out a path of wisdom through determination, forgiveness and grace. Her deep connection to the natural world and her people’s ancestral knowledge have shaped her into a healer and guide, offering her gifts to all who seek healing and transformation. A lifelong practitioner of traditional plant medicine, Leonor carries the songs of her ancestors and the sacred ways of her people into each ceremony she leads and in her intricate beadwork (she will be selling some of her pieces at the retreat!).

Leonor will be guiding a daytime ceremony, weaving her powerful, melodic icaros—healing songs—throughout the journey. Her recently released album, Cantos de Visión (Songs of Vision), is a reflection of her life’s work and spiritual connection, available for purchase online. In her ceremonies, Leonor brings both gentle nurturing and strength, creating a space where participants can heal and connect with their own inner power. Her presence is a testament to the strength of the feminine, and her life’s journey as a single mother has made her a true example among woman.
