Our Story

Amaru Zitlallinikue is in Service to Truth, Divine Sovereignty and the Sacred Healing Ceremonies of our Ancestors.

She is a Dietera in the Shipibo Lineage, Vision Quester in the Lakota Tradition, Moon Dancer, Reiki Master, Yoga Teacher, Sound Healer, Harpist & Keeper of Ancestral Songs.

Spirit guided her to work with healing plant allies out of sheer necessity. After her personal experience of healing, she became an advocate for natural medicine, holistic wellness and the traditions of our ancestors. 

She has been in service organizing and facilitating healing rituals with Elders from Peru, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Guatemala.

She is particularly passionate about ceremonial preparation and integration - Knowing that how we arrive to the work, and what we do after the work is as important as the work itself… The real ceremony is how we choose to live our daily lives.

Amaru believes that we are all the Children of Mother Earth. And that her plants are here to support us. Our only job is to arrive with an open heart, sincerity, kindness, humility, respect and good intentions for ourselves and humanity.

Amaru continues her personal studies by making consistent pilgrimages to sacred lands, learning from mother nature and her treasured Maestras & Maestros, the Guardians of the Medicines from the Forest.
