Kurikindi - Stories from Kichwa Shaman From Ecuador on Shamanism, Ayahuasca, Protecting The Rainforests
The Roots Project recently held an event called Initiation in Manchester, UK. This event brought together people from all over the world. We were honoured for Kichwa Shaman to attend and share his wisdom and great knowledge with us. This a deep and provoking lecture and is a must watch!
We are publishing some of our amazing lectures here on Steemit, and are honoured to share this precious knowledge with you. This video contains Shamanic Singing and talking.
About Kurikindi
Kurikindi is an elder, spiritual leader and shaman from the Kichwa tribe of the Ecuadorian Amazon. From a long lineage of shamans he has trained with masters throughout the rainforest. In this one day workshop he will introduce you to what it means to be a shaman, how the Kichwa cosmology gives a framework to understanding his unique form of shamanic healing and how he works with the conscious intelligence of energy, ikaros
and sacred plants for healing.
Before he could even walk or talk he was immersed in the shamanic way of life. He feels that growing up in his atmosphere was a great privilege and an honour. His family travelled long distances and to other countries in South America to spend time with Shamans from other cultures and nationalities to learn and share knowledge and experiences. Kurikindi had the unique opportunity to learn from, and work a long side both male and female Shamans as both of his parents, grandparents and great grandparents we practicing Shamans. Kurikindi´s life changed dramatically when he was 12 years old.
He had to save the life of a powerful and well known shaman, his father. After this and although still very young, he was recognized as an adult practicing shaman. Until then, he had only been an apprentice. At 46 years old, still young by most shamanic standards, he finds himself here in the UK, ready to talk, to teach, to learn and to listen.

Our disconnect from the natural and primal worlds has led to the disastrous situation that we now find ourselves in on planet Earth, yet our deep feelings for nature form part of our spiritual longing. Plant Consciousness explores the higher intelligence of nature, how to connect and learn from it and why it is essential for the development of consciousness and the well-being of the planet that we do.
Many different cultures and traditions work with plants for psycho-spiritual transformation, they understand the need to heal our fragmented psyche, which holds us back from realising our potential and knowing our true holistic self. Bridging two continents, Plant Consciousness 2017 will demonstrate how plants of the Americas and the British Isles have been co-creatively worked with over millennia for healing.
Bringing together the values of shamanism, herbalism, plant neurobiology, deep-ecology and eco-psychology, Plant Consciousness is a carefully designed weekend of in-depth teachings, interactive practical exercises and live music to take you on a magical journey into the conscious energetic world of plants. This journey will be held in sacred space by us and the amazing healers and shamans that we are working with this year to help you discover a deeper understanding of plants and of your place in the biosphere of life on this planet.
