Maestra Luz
Shipiba Curandera and Master Shamanic Healer
Maestra Luz comes to us from Pucallpa, originally born and raised in the Ucayali community of Puerto Firmeza.
Luz began her apprenticeship with plant diets and ayahuasca at the tender age of 15. Her grandfather was a powerful and well respected doctor of ayahuasca shamanism, and was her original teacher on the path of curanderismo. Luz was so inspired by her grandfather as a little girl work that she decided to follow in his footsteps, and by the time she was 22 years old she was already holding her own ceremonies for people in her community.
As a wisdom keeper of her grandfather’s knowledge, Luz brings to her work a deep gratitude for the rainforest and its medicines. She is very proud of her family lineage, and considers it to be a great honor to carry the wisdom of her ancestors.
Her favorite plants are piñon colorado and ajosquiro which she says are the ones that contain more energies and open the world of visions.
We are absolutely delighted to welcome Maestra Luz as Intertwining Medicines newest team member.
