The Shipibo Tribe: “Shamanic Maestros and Maestras”

The Shipibo are an ancient indigenous tribe of the Western Amazon rainforest in Peru and are highly knowledgeable of rainforest plant medicines, such as Grandmother Medicines. The Shipibo, who are also known as “Shamanic Maestros and Maestras”, are known for their deep connection with the nature of the rainforest that reflects and inspires all aspects of their life – physical, cultural and spiritual. Even with the pressures of our modern capitalistic world the Shipibo people still hold their traditions to this day. We have the Shipibo tribe to thank for their reverence to the ancient ways of living as they have paved the path for many of us leading a Shamanic lifestyle.

​​The Shipibo also have a rich artisanal culture. The Shamanic Maestros and Maestras through their vision quests with plant medicines create beautiful works of woven textiles, beaded jewellery and musical instruments, which incorporate designs reflecting the energetic expressions and healing Icaros of the spiritual world.  The practice of translating the energetic patterns into beautiful works of art are taught to the Shipibo youth at a very young age from their mothers and fathers.

As with many Indigineous peoples all over the world, the Shipibo suffer significant erosion of their territories due to rainforest degradation, environmental pollution and climate change. It is becoming more challenging for the Shipibo to live traditional rainforest lifestyles in our modern day market economy.

We at Shaman Sisters care deeply about the welfare of the Shipibo people and many other Indigenous tribes locally and globally. To honour and support the continuation of Shipibo traditions in our modern world, we have brought their beautiful woven textiles, beaded jewellery, musical instruments to our shop for you to learn, heal from and enjoy. In reverence, we thank the Shipibo tribe for allowing us to share their wisdom and prayers with our community as we continue to serve your transcendence by helping you raise your vibration and enhance your frequency.
