[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”VIEW DETAILED BIOGRAPHY” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Don Carlos was born into an Indigenous Kichwa family from the Napo River region of the Ecuadorian Amazon. He is a highly respected healer with an excellent reputation, sought out by people from several provinces of Ecuador.<\/span><\/p>\n

During visits to remote sacred places in the rainforest, nature itself called him and allowed him to enter into contact with beings that possess healing powers. Through this connection, he carries out his healing work during ceremonies with Ayahuasca.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don Carlos is a yachak\u2014a traditional \u201cman of knowledge.\u201d He embodies the wisdom and depth of the healing traditions of the Napo Runa people. He generously shares his knowledge, and participants have the opportunity to ask him questions on the day after each ceremony.<\/span><\/p>\n

His life\u2019s calling is to help those who seek healing. If you wish to address a particular condition or personal concern, we can help focus the work accordingly or arrange a private healing session with him.<\/span><\/p>\n

During his healing ceremonies, Don Carlos performs an individual limpia for each participant using surupanga leaves. He also sings soothing healing songs that were taught to him by the spirits of nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don Carlos is remarkably calm, humble and kind. He takes a sincere interest in every participant and seeks the best way to help each person move towards greater health and harmony.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a Kichwa elder, he carries the knowledge and spiritual strength accumulated throughout his long life as a healer and ceremonial leader. Spending time with him offers a rare opportunity to connect with the wisdom of a living Amazonian tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maestro Sina \u2013 Emilio Ramirez<\/h2>\n

Shipibo Maestro and Traditional Healer, Age 75<\/h3>\n

Maestro Sina has the ability to perceive deeply into a person\u2019s body and mind, identifying different blockages and working through them one by one with his beautiful and profound icaros. His ceremonies can bring about a deep inner transformation. He also guides month-long master plant dietas.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”VIEW DETAILED BIOGRAPHY” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Maestro Sina was born in a Shipibo community on the Ucayali River in Peru. From early childhood, the spiritual wisdom of his ancestors was passed down to him. Both his grandfather and his great-great-grandfather were Onanyas\u2014traditional Shipibo healers.<\/p>\n

Sina has dedicated his life to helping others. For the past 35 years, he has worked both with members of his own community and with visitors from many different countries.<\/p>\n

He is humble, thoughtful and wise, with a profound understanding of Ayahuasca and medicinal plants. The Shipibo people are renowned for their mastery of plant medicine and sacred plants, as well as for their extraordinarily beautiful healing songs known as icaros.<\/p>\n

They are also highly skilled artists and craftspeople. During your stay, you may have the opportunity to purchase some of their beautiful traditional artwork and textiles. All the women in Sina\u2019s family embroider and create traditional handicrafts.<\/p>\n

Throughout the night, Sina sings many icaros, creating a deeply healing ceremonial space filled with positive energy. He has an extraordinary ability to perceive a person as though looking through an X-ray, identifying negative energies and knowing how to cleanse them through his songs. His work helps restore harmony and supports a transformation of the person as a whole.<\/p>\n

Through his ceremonial work, Sina helps people address trauma and clear what the Shipibo tradition understands as heavy or dark energies. He brings the energetic body back into alignment. He can also perceive the effects of previous experiences with substances or medicinal plants and help correct any energetic imbalances that may have resulted.<\/p>\n

One of Sina\u2019s greatest qualities is that he does not keep his knowledge secret. He enjoys teaching and sharing his wisdom with others, including people from outside the Shipibo culture. Under his guidance, several students have learned to sing icaros and help others through traditional healing work.<\/p>\n

For the past five years, Jan Rostlinka has also studied with Sina and completed several traditional plant dietas under his guidance. Through this work, a strong friendship and bond have developed between them.<\/p>\n

This alliance allows us to invite Maestro Sina to our center, which he has already visited in the past. The local Kichwa people are also very much looking forward to welcoming him back. They greatly appreciated his work and felt its benefits on many levels\u2014to put it simply, they were moved to tears.<\/p>\n

At Feather Crown, ayahuasca ceremonies are conducted in a grounded, safe, and respectful way, guided by an experienced indigenous elder and supported by a trained team of facilitators.<\/p>\n

The ceremony takes place in a spacious circular temple, designed specifically for this work. Before the ceremony, participants receive detailed preparation materials, and on the day itself, a group briefing is held to answer questions and ensure everyone feels ready.<\/p>\n

In the evening, the ceremony begins with the serving of ayahuasca. Participation is always voluntary\u2014healing can also unfold without drinking. Afterward, the space becomes quiet, and participants rest on comfortable mattresses, allowing the process to develop naturally.<\/p>\n

As the effects deepen, the shaman works with traditional instruments and sacred songs (icaros), guiding the process and supporting each participant individually. Throughout the night, he performs energetic cleansings according to the tradition.<\/p>\n

Each participant is also invited for a personal cleansing (limpia), where the shaman works directly with them using plants and traditional techniques to restore balance and clear heavy energies.<\/p>\n

Integration<\/h2>\n

The following morning, a guided integration session is held with translation, where participants can share their experience, ask questions, and begin to understand the process more clearly.<\/p>\n

Private conversations with the shaman or facilitators are also available for those who need more personal support or clarification.<\/p>\n

Integration is an essential part of the process. It helps bring the experience into everyday life in a grounded and meaningful way.<\/p>\n

The Process<\/h2>\n

Each ceremony builds on the previous one. The first ceremony often focuses on cleansing\u2014physical, emotional, and energetic\u2014and may involve purging.<\/p>\n

In the following ceremonies, participants usually enter the process with greater trust and openness. This allows for deeper work, clearer insight, and a more conscious connection with the experience.<\/p>\n

This gradual process is an important part of traditional ayahuasca work, where each ceremony has its place and purpose.<\/p>\n

Ayahuasca Brew<\/h2>\n

Our ayahuasca is prepared traditionally over fire, using only two plants: the ayahuasca vine Banisteriopsis caapi<\/strong> and the accompanying leaf Diplopterys cabrerana<\/strong> or Psychotria viridis<\/strong> (chakruna).<\/p>\n

This traditional combination allows for deep, clear, and meaningful experiences. We work with selected varieties of the vine that come from established healing lineages.<\/p>\n

No additional or inappropriate admixtures are used. The medicine is prepared with care, respect, and attention to quality.<\/p>\n
