If somebody has forgotten 
it is time to switch on the light
 and reestablish a kind balance
where we all peacefully coexist 
and support each other. “

Hola Dear Readers,

I am a Peruvian shaman deeply connected to my Indigenous roots and a cultural ambassador traveling around America and Europe to share my knowledge and ancient wisdom and touch human hearts and meet Nature Spirits all over while I walk up in the Andes, deep into the jungle. In the desert, with the oceans and cold forests.  

I am an activist, deeply engaged with my People, fighting for their rights, defending indigenous territories, sacred lands and protecting pristine forests and headwaters up in the cloud forest of San Martin, Peru.

I just want to share and send to you Seeds for Inspiration, particularly at this time, times of fears, sickness and resilience in the face of adversity.   

Indigenous People believe that making spiritual retreats once a year, taking weeks, months or even one full year, strengthens our spirit. During this time we isolate ourselves and follow a strict diet to clear our minds, and cleanse our bodies. 

This is a special time of focus where we examine and explore our patterns, behaviours, fears and tune into our Hope. Listening all the while to the wise teachings we receive from Mother Nature with respect and kindness.

During these times of fasting and cleansing we do not plan far into the future, rather, we receive and soak up information from Nature or through our dreams in which we walk and explore new ‘surfaces’ of human coexistence.

A human coexistence all over…
near and far,
a human coexistence where we respect each other and live in total harmony with other species
(plants, trees, birds, animals, rivers, mountains and forests)
No more, no less, just the right amount of anything. 

We are in the middle of some sort of emotional and spiritual ‘earthquake’ right now. This intense shaking reminds us that we are just one of the thousands species, one that is also vulnerable and because we did not keep the balance, we all fell down.
 

Elders say this is a particular time where Mother Earth ‘stretches out’ just a little bit and lays down to just take a break and rest for a time. While she is resting and we are crossing the dark forest, we-humans have to enlighten our path with the light we carry inside -if somebody forgot, it´s time to switch on- and restablish a kind balance where we all peacefully coexist and support each other. 

The pandemic COVID-19 is harsh and rough BUT it´s showing up that humans are capable to rebirth and reopen the portal of transformation again, equally gratefully and with equity.

All Nations,
All People and
All Species

Cohabit this wonderful planet and share space and resources equally.   

About Curandera Eda Zavala Lopez

Eda is a direct descendant of the Wari people of Peru. She inherited ancient traditions and profound knowledge related to plants, spirits and magical storytelling from her ancestors. Indigenous wisdom from the Highlands (Huarochiri and Huanta) and the Amazon Rainforest (Ashaninka Tribe) is a part of her DNA. She is well educated and studied sociology and anthropology at Catholic University in Lima, Peru.
 

After her first experience with her Master Plant in 1989 while living with magical beings in the jungle and spiritual guardians of the mountains (Apus), Eda reconnected with her ancient knowledge and became aware of the incredible wisdom that her ancestors passed on to her as a child through her grandmother. Upon this awakening, Eda would never return to live or work in Lima. She felt a powerful calling to stay deep in the Amazon forest or up in the highlands.
 

Over a twenty-five year journey, Eda became a Shaman, a healer, a curandera. The true essence and meaning of her life is in honoring the ancient wisdom of her ancestors and practicing the new skills that nature, plant medicines and Indigenous Elders pass on to her. Serving her people, Eda has become a spiritual leader in her tribal community and supports their efforts to defend their territories– the pristine forests, natural resources and headwaters. Today she walks among the indigenous, modern and global worlds. She brings technical assistance to indigenous communities to protect their lands legally, to preserve the amazing sources of native plants, trees, animals and water and to help perpetuate the ancient healing practices among her people and others.

Curandera Eda’s Healing Offerings

Eda leads ceremonies and spiritual journeys deep into the Peruvian Amazon or in Tarapoto, in northeastern Peru. Her healing sessions are very personal, one-on-one, and her treatment is unique. She works in each individual to release old  traumas and blockages and move him or her forward into a positive direction.  First she reads the energy of the patient , diagnoses the emotional or physical illness and then gives the treatment. The synergy created between her and the participant remove clear blockages in emotion, body and spirit allowing for a very effective treatment.

Why the Shawi Need Your Help

Now with the threat of the pandemic, already weakened by malnutrition, the Shawi are fighting to get public health assistance, and hoping western medicine can help them now that they have lost access to the plant medicines that grew on their once pristine and abundant land. Village leaders have sought help from the Regional Government of San Martin for primary care, particularly for babies, children, and pregnant women, however the government’s efforts are focused on urban areas, and the 880 people of the Shawi tribe are located more than four hours on dirt roads from the nearest city.  The government has provided assistance for two of the villages, but it is inadequate for the demand.
 

Chronic lung and stomach infections make the Shawi particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, and Pharmaceuticals are needed to treat these illnesses and strengthen the immune systems to be able to fight the virus.

Stipends for the training as well as food for the young leaders and their families will make their education and work possible. The hope is that by training villagers in western medicine, they will be able to retain their indigenous identity and be a bridge to their people to save their culture, and lives.

100% of donations will go directly to the Tribe and the welfare of the 880 villagers.
