The Shipibo are an indigenous people, who reside along the Ucayali river in the Amazonian rainforest of Peru.

They are masters of Ayahuasca, and through the powerful spirit of the vine they can travel to other realms and see visions of plants and spirits.

They also visually see the songs of Ayahuasca, the icaros.

The intricate patterns and geometric designs on Shipibo textiles are inspired by these visions.

The Shipibo are known for labyrinthine geometric designs that reflect their culture and their cosmology.

The main elements of the designs are the square, the rhombus, the octagon and the cross, which  “represents the southern Cross constellation which dominates the night sky and divides the cosmos into four quadrants.

A wonderful spiritual portal and point for meditation and healing energy.

This unique handmade beautiful Shipibo tapestry specifically carries the energy of Ayahuasca.

This master plant is considered the “opener of the way” in Amazonian shamanic tradition, a much respected plant teacher.

An Icaro is a shamanic power song learned from an elder shaman or spirits.

They are used to communicate with the spirits of the natural world & to heal the sick.

The most important of these songs are those learned from the spirits themselves or those received in the dream visions.

By buying these textiles we are supporting fair trade for the Shipibo tribe and allowing the ancient traditions to carry on amidst the challenges of the modern world.
