Don Miguel

Don Miguel was born into a long lineage of Shipibo healers and plant doctors.  He leads the Ayahuasca Rejuvenation Retreats and Healing Empowerment Courses at the Riosbo Ayahuasca Research Center. He has a tremendous sense of humor and enjoys goofing around when it is appropriate.  He knows the medicine and plants incredibly well and has dieted and works with powerful plant allies like Noya Rao, Marossa, and Chullachaqui.  A trained language professor for his community, he is fond of leading lectures and workshops on the meaning of icaros and plant medicine within the Shipibo culture.  Don Miguel is always willing to help in whatever way he can, administering vapor baths and plant baths, leading ceremonies, offering advice for navigation, preparing numerous medicines and treatments, whatever he can do to make participants’ experiences more positive.
