We work with and are schooled and recognized by our Shuar families in Ecuador and ancestral medicine elders of Mexico. With most plants we work towards purification, cleansing, awakening our consciousness and vision, as much as reenforce our spiritual strength, impulsing our mental, physical and emotional health, to open up to Love and balance. Reconnecting to the forces of our natural origin, we remember our innate relationships and essence of Earth and Spirit. In meditation with the Grandfather Fire, we offer songs and prayers with feathers and aromas of cedar, sage, copal and palo santo, to encourage the cleansing, relief and healing, reconnecting while celebrating Life and forces of nature that guide and surround us.
From the Love and the heritage of medicine keepers, elders and families, and our Mexican and Amazonian traditional alliance, Tepoztlán became the home of our therapeutic, spiritual and intercultural space for knowledge, arts and healing. In the Shuar language, ayamtai means 'house, altar or temple of Arutam (God or Great Spirit), where 'the Spirit rests', where one seeks knowledge and vision, and remedies to heal, to strengthen, to cleanse. It's a sacred space for the healing arts and mysteries of the jungle and plant medicines. With these ancestral plants we help mediating between patient, the consciousness and the spirit realm through prayer, smudging and song, energy work seeking the rebalancing of the health integrity.
We offer services of Traditional Mexican and Amazonian Medicine: Healings and Ceremonies, Sweat-lodges, Retreats, Medicine Music, Therapies, Spa & Sauna, Lodging, Integration and Guidance, Excursions into Nature, both in Mexico as in the Amazon. With our medicine family and that of the Yankuam community in Ecuador we are servants of an ancestral legacy of wisdom and healing. Throughout the years, this ancestral and cultural practice of the Shuar came to complement me, fusing with Mexican traditional medicine, herbalism and ancestral spirituality, and in a way integrating Andean, Vedic and European knowledge. Our humble healing space of traditional and multicultural medicines and arts took shape in Tepoztlán, México.
My name is Mano Churuwia, traditional healer and founder of Ayamtai.
