The sacred Icaros with Supay Pishku
Tue Aug 3, 2021 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM EDT
Online, Zoom
Description
Amazonian shamans claim that healing emotional, physical, and spiritual issues only can be done when you summon and communicate with the sublime cosmic energies, animals, and forces of nature using your voice. Join us this evening to learn the secret of forming a unique shaman’s soul song for healing.
Ayahuasca Icaros have traditionally been used to support communication with the spirits and ancestors and to call in strength, guidance, healing, and protection for the clients during a ceremony. The shaman invokes complex Icaros’ to induce special healing. These sacred songs are mostly kept secret, known only by the curandero who will sing or whistle the tune, whilst keeping the lyrics to himself. Icaros for many indigenous tribes native to the Amazon are integral to their spiritual traditions and the well-being of their communities.
An recording will be available to all ticket holders for 14 days.
