About the Teacher

Why study with them?

Valdir Estrela Dourada is more than a Shaman; he's a craftsman and a guardian of ancient wisdom, a channel for spiritual healing, and a beacon of light for those seeking to heal themselves. With every drum, every ceremony, and every gathering, Valdir brings us closer to our own truth, our own healing, and our connection to the universe.

Valdir's journey began nearly 13 years ago as a skilled artisan of shamanic drums. But this path has been far more than just "making and selling" instruments—it is a deep, spiritual process of crafting, setting intentions, and sharing ancient knowledge with others who are drawn to him. Each drum he creates carries a story, a vibration, and a connection to the sacred.

Over the years, Valdir has walked countless paths of discovery, exchange, and transformation. His journey began in 2011, when he first encountered the powerful Medicines of the Forest, specifically the Sacred Medicine of Ayahuasca. Seeking to heal from a long-standing addiction to alcohol, it was through Ayahuasca that Valdir experienced profound healing. In doing so, he received the recognition and support of his spiritual Egregore, led by Master Pena Branca, who guided him to the Medicine of the Drum.

In 2013, Valdir’s craft was born out of an unexpected moment—after accidentally damaging a dear friend’s drum, he repaired it, unaware that this would unlock his ability to create sacred shamanic instruments. Ever the autodidact, he restored the drum, and his friend told him, “You are meant to work with this Medicine and carry it to the four corners of the world.”

And so it unfolded. Since then, Valdir has undergone numerous spiritual initiations and energy alignments. In 2014, he was initiated into Santo Daime, receiving permission to channel the energy of the Golden Star Egregore—a force of spiritual ascension and healing, which he now manifests on this plane.

In October 2018, Valdir’s path took a fated turn when he was invited to craft a Lakota drum. Through this commission, he unknowingly followed the call of his inner self toward a long-awaited reunion—a connection that had been destined across many lifetimes. It was then that he met his Twin Flame—a complete part of him, reincarnated in another body.

On October 28, 2018, Valdir met Carolina Lua Branca, and from that day forward, they have walked this journey together, side by side. United by their deep love and shared purpose, they embarked on an unwavering quest for self-healing, which expanded into a mission to bring healing to all of humanity. Through their sacred instruments and journeys of self-discovery, the Casa Andrômeda was born—a space of transformation, spiritual growth, and profound healing.
