Its central purpose is to establish contact with Arutam (the Great Spirit), the spiritual force that, according to the Shuar worldview, sustains
Shared Roots: When Shuar Shamanism Meets a Turkish Traveler — Ritual, Shadow Work, and Ancestral Memory
Deep in the Amazon rainforest, amid damp leaves and the songs of the night, encounters unfold that seem to belong to another sense of time: ancient traditions preserving profound understandings of human existence meet visitors from distant cultures searching for a way to reconnect with themselves.

Awakening Arutam: Shuar Shamanism and Paths to Holistic Health
In the Shuar worldview, Arutam Ruymán tells us that life is not merely a series of biological processes; it is the vibrant presence of a spiritual principle that permeates all beings. That principle has a name: Arutam. More than an abstract belief, Arutam shapes a way of understanding health, illness, and healing practices. This article explores how, from the Shuar

Ayahuasca: An Inner experience of healing and life Transformation
The Mark That Cannot Be Forgotten There are experiences that leave a mark impossible to erase. In ceremonies, something profound happens: you cannot forget what was in your body.
