Arutam Ruymán and his team, after a long history of receiving privately his students from all over the world at their spiritual retreat center “Cumbres de Arutam”, located in the heart of the Amazon, in Ecuador, are pleased to inform that its doors have been opened for the general public that may be interested in the forms and traditional practices of Amazonian Shamanism.

The houses and ceremonial spaces of the center are surrounded by the mountains, rivers and waterfalls of the Sangay National Park, in a total area of 600 hectares. The teaching of Shamanism is delivered by Shaman Arutam Ruymán under a strictly traditional method that is typical of the “Shuar” lineage.

Ruymán has been family with them and important part of their culture for more than twenty years, dedicating himself to teaching it throughout the world. He has received the recognition of the elders, masters and institutions devoted to this knowledge throughout the country. He has numerous written and audiovisual works to spread this knowledge to the general public. This long life experience is key to achieving the best possible retreat in a safe environment.

For this new project, whose objective is to bring ancestral Shamanism to a new and not necessarily experienced public, we have a multidisciplinary team, including psychologists and experts in the practices of this tradition.

The retreats consist not only of ceremonies and practical sessions with the use of sacred plants, such as Ayahuasca and Tobacco, but also a teaching time and a moment to share, and thus experience the feelings and knowledge of ancient peoples.
