Tour of Europe showcasing Shipibo culture

The ambassador presented the culture of the Shipibos to the modern world

Roger Bardales, ambassador of Shipibo Konibo native and master of plant medicine, successfully completed his Europe tour. In two month, he travelled through Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, Suiza and Italy and talked about the medicine of his ancestors and the work of the embassy to hundreds of people.

"The ancient medicine is a great gift from the jungle to the world. I am happy for the opportunity to introduce Shipibo traditions to Europe.” Roger Bardales, Shipibo Ambassador and Medicine Master

He shared his experience of growing up in the jungle and studying plant medicine from his ancestors since the very young age. The Traditional Amazonian Medicine differs from the conventional medicine, as it looks deeper into the human being and reveals the real causes of diseases. Once the causes are discovered, the real healing can start. Through ancient songs, the structures of the human being and the patterns what are in disorder, can be rearranged. The so called icaros have a special vibration and are sung during treatments like the Shipibo massage therapy.

In order to open the gates so that many people can receive those kind of treatments, the ambassador and the European association are planning on a future center of Traditional Amazonian Medicine. The vision is to create a sanctuary, where many people will be able to receive true healing through the sacred ancestral wisdom of the Shipibo-Konibo.
