Why study with them?
The Shipibo are an indigenous nation from the Peruvian Amazon known for their rich traditions in plant medicine, particularly their mastery of Ayahuasca. The Shipibo people are revered for their deep knowledge of healing plants, their intricate song patterns (known as icaros), and their spiritual healing ceremonies.
The Mahua family lineage is a particularly special family lineage within the Shipibo nation, carrying generations of sacred knowledge in plant medicine.
Maestro Teo Ochavano Lopez of the esteemed Mahua lineage, brings a wealth of experience not only in plant medicine but also as a former advocate for indigenous rights and rainforest protection in Peru. His presence brings a unique blend of deep spiritual work, open heartedness and grounded efforts to preserve & protect the ancient wisdom embedded inside of the indigenous cultures of the Amazon.
