Flames of renewal: Shamanic healing experience through a fire ritual

The indigenous communities continue to embrace traditional medicine and spiritual healing irtuals, rooted in the belief that all physical and mental problems are linked to imbalances in the body's energies. When people get sick, it's common for individuals to seek the expertise of a shaman or healer.

Helena Cepeda is such a person that has the power to mediate between the physical and spiritual world, curing people and performing honoring ceremonies. Originating from a family deeply experienced in shamanic practices Helena has honed her skills through learning from her relatives and exchanging knowledge with other shamans. She possesses a unique gift for sensing energies and vibrations in people and his environment, allowing him to establish a deep spiritual connection with Pachamama (Mother Earth) and bring about balance in individuals.

Helena utilizes a variety of rituals in her practice, including medicinal healings with herbs, stones, colognes, and invocations of spirits to channel positive energy. Our visit will take us to Helena's residence in Columbe (a mere 15 minutes from Guamote). Here, she will share insights into shamanism and the power of the four elements: earth, wind, water and fire. Following this introduction, visitors will engage in a communal cleansing ritual through a fire ceremony, designed to bless everyone with good travel energy and overall well-being.

Tourists desiring a personal cleansing experience have the option to schedule an individual healing session afterward, available for an additional fee. A member of the Inti Sisa team will be present to provide translation services.
