Don Manual and Guadalupe are indigenous Zapotec Curanderos, trained from childhood in the shamanic traditions of the Oaxaca region. Together with their children and grandchildren they built the Mailiolin center to grow their healing work and honor the beautiful forest lands that produce the wise psilocybin mushrooms. Don Manuel has worked with universities and medical groups for over a decade imparting an understanding of the ways of traditional medicine. Guadalupe works deeply within her community using traditional curanderismo to retrieve lost parts of the soul, balance and restore health and reverse shock and trauma. Together with their three children who are also trained in the healing arts, they work with the deeply sacred teoananacatl to restore balance and understanding to humanity.
