Shipibo shaman Don Alfredo Cairuna, preparing a Sweat Lodge in the Amazon jungle
Don Alfredo has been living in the Alto Ucayali, in the Ashaninka community of Meranquiari, where he studied with master shaman Don Marcos Ocampo. In the last five years he lived in the Cashibo/Cacataibo Indian community of Mariscal where he studied with maestro Don Baltazar Estrella. He also had a female teacher, Doņa Jesusa Pacaya, of the Cocama ethnic group. An expert in the curative properties of Amazonian medicinal plants, a naturista (i.e. herbalist), a toesero (i.e. specialized in working with the Toe' plant) and - last but not least! - an ayahuasquero, Don Alfredo has a unique style of working during the ayahuasca ceremonies, flapping relentlessly his Cushma (Shipibo tunic) in front of the patient, during a healing session, in the fashion of a bird's wing, to clear negative energies. His knowledge of the Sweat Lodge is the fruit of direct exposure to the Ashaninka and Cacataibo indigenous culture.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Shipibos are reputed by most anthropological sources to be amid the best shamans of the Peruvian Amazon basin, and their icaros are renowned for being powerful, beautiful, subtle and inducing strong visions. Listen in Real Player at the splendid icaros of Don Leoncio Garcia Sampaya - a former main maestro in Onanyan Shobo - clicking the two links (track 03 and 09) at the bottom of the page http://www.releasethereality.com/elmundomagico.html. We hope to soon present a new compilation of icaros featuring also those of Don Mariano and Don Alfredo.
